What To Expect

Meet your knowledgeable local guide in central Rome, then head straight to the historical center.

Wander the narrow cobblestoned lanes of the Centro Storico, passing outdoor cafes, baroque fountains, ancient churches and Renaissance-era palaces. Stop for a while at the 17th-century Trevi Fountain and perhaps even toss a coin in to ensure that you come back.

Get ready to be wowed by the Pantheon, one of the best-preserved buildings from ancient Rome. Meaning 'temple of all gods,' the Pantheon is a site to behold: it holds the tombs of Renaissance artist Raphael and King Umberto I, among others. Take a short walk over to stunning Piazza Navona, one of the greatest public spaces in the city to look at the fountains designed by baroque master Bernini.

Upgrade to the full-day tour to see even more of the Italian capital. For even more convenience, upgrade your tour to include a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Then meet your guide to go by foot and coach to see the sites of the Roman Empire, including the Circus Maximus, the Roman Forum and Capitoline Hill, among others. And the best part: a skip-the-line tour of the Colosseum.

Hop back on the coach and head to where the tour began or request being dropped off at one of four different locations.

Unhelpful tour company
alwayslivinglife40, Jan 2020
I reached out to the tour company prior to the tour and they did not respond. I sent them a message and called and received no response. Therefore I was unable to take the tour. I suggested meeting them at the location and the woman told me no, I couldn't do that. I went to the Trevi Fountain on my own and it was amazing.

Andre B, Apr 2018
We took the day tour, without lunch. The Vatican in the morning and the coliseum in the afternoon. The tours were the best option, because it made getting into the venues easy, and I would recommend them if you want to get in quickly. The guides were well informed, and entertaining. The only negative is that you do not have the time to see all of the venues. My advice is that you use the tour to get into the venue, and when the tour is complete, remain in the venues to see what was not covered.

Tom_A, Sep 2017
Excellent tour of the top sites of central Rome highlighted by our ,87 year old guide who was worth the price of the tour himself! The bus stops in 2 locales and then you walk a fair bit which was fine for us but hard for some of the party to keep up.Very good way to begin your vacation and orient yourself.

katica b, Aug 2017
Tour guys was very old guy and really was not into giving you much information about the sight except how old it approximately is and what the name of it was. It was sort of waste of time and frustrating after taking another tour which was so informative and interesting. Green line seems so very commercial and can care less about it really. Only good part about it was that we happen to take it on Sunday and we ended at Vatican and were able to see the Pope.

Great tour, a nice overview of city highlights. The only disappointment was that the tour did not include the interior of St. Peter's Basilica. We have since recommended this tour to everyone we know who is going to Rome. People just need to be aware that there is quite a bit of walking in the city center.
This was the worst of all the tours...
S S, Jul 2017
This was the worst of all the tours. When we bought the ticket, we double checked that the 3 hr tour did not cover the Vatican area which we had just covered the previous day. The Viator person assured us that the Vatican area would not be covered and Spanish steps would but we were lied to.

The first part of the tour, the walking tour was wonderful. Very friendly and informative guide. The second part they have you wait for an hour or two before the second part, was terrible. Our guide for the Parthenon did not speak very good English and she was quite rude. We got a refund for this.

Lady Kantuta, May 2017
Unfortunately I arrived 15 minutes late due to transportation issues. I tried to find out where I could catch up with the group but the people at Green Line Tours were quite cut and dry, most uncaring. I asked where they were offering the lunch which I had paid for and that's how I was able to find them. I had to buy another Hop on hop off tour until lunch time. The tour guide Max was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant with a great sense of humor. He took us to the Coloseum and went through it with so much detail. We also went to see the beautiful statue of Moses and St. Peter's supposed chains.

Lisa W, Mar 2017
There were only 4 people on this tour. Two individuals who spoke Chinese who had their own interpreter and my daughter and myself who had our own interpreter. You would think this would be ideal with lots of interaction and personal information from the tour guide however, our tour guide would tell us a few details then step aside and be on her phone texting. She seemed very indifferent to us or to making our tour a memorable one.

Glenn B, Feb 2017
What a fun day, we like to take the tours on our first day in town to get our bearings. We say so many interesting sites. It would have been nice to have a little more time in St. Peters Square, which we could have opted for but would have had to find our own transport back to the city center.
Our first tour of the trip and it...
Leslie_M, Jan 2017
Our first tour of the trip and it was amazing! What a guide and what a city - so beautiful. On the morning tour you will see all the highlights of Classical Rome and you'll walk mostly hopping on and off the bus twice. This is the way to do it if your time is limited and even if you are staying a month or a lifetime I would definitely recommend it. Just wandering the streets with a local who loves this place is fantastic. You will see the Trevi Fountain and Pantheon and all the important squares etc. and get a feel for classical, gorgeous, Rome. We took this tour on Boxing Day right after Christmas and I was very confused when I booked it because many comments referred to visits to the Vatican despite the fact that it was not mentioned in the description of this tour. We did enter Vatican City briefly on the tour but the museum, Basilica, and Sistine Chapel we closed because of the holiday. This was good for us because I think we got to spend more time in the city of Rome as I had hoped and we had a tour of the Vatican scheduled for later in the week. The Vatican portion of the tour is something that causes a bit of confusion but I assume this tour often gives you a bit of time in St. Peter's Basilica. In any case, bring your own set of earbuds just in case the ones they give you don't work properly and have a blast!! We also took the Afternoon Ancient Tour Of Rome that you could add to this tour and it was the only tour I found a bit disappointing. Be aware you will not get to walk through the Roman Forum as I assumed we would. We enjoyed it however and did see the ruins of course but had little detailed explanation. You do have to wait as the guide buys tickets for the Coliseum but we were prepared for that as we had read reviews here. If time is limited add this part of the tour most definitely! A nighttime tour might be a bit better.
No so great, all the places covered...

No so great, all the places covered would have been easily covered on our own, but our guide was great
