About the operator
- 424kent00Beautiful Island of CapriI had an amazing experience in Capri. The lunch was delicious and the service was great. I took the tram up to the restaurant and the view was amazing from higher up. The boat tour takes one hour from Naples to reach Capri and is very relaxing. The water color was like nothing I have ever seen before from dark blue to aqua blue to green. I took a boat cruise around the island and had a blast. This was a great tour on my last full day in Italy.
- Lital6Sh00Get away!!!On Thursday, August 17, 2023, I purchased three 3 Pass tickets at a newsstand on one of the streets in the Vatican area. The saleswoman spoke in English and explained that there are bus tours at 18:00, 18:30, and the last one at 19:00. I explained to her that we would be able to arrive around the final round. When I asked how long the round would take to the station from which we boarded, she answered (in clear English) that the round is at 19:00 and ends around 21:00 and at the same point where we'll wait for the bus. We purchased the tickets from her around 5:00 p.m. Since the seller closes the store at 18:00, we will no longer be in the area to buy. That day at 18:50, we waited at the station after the bridge over the river from the Vatican area and remained until 19:05, when no bus passed, and we started to go back. Suddenly, the bus appeared, and we ran back to the station. When we got on, the woman on the bus explained that the bus only travels 2-3 stops and not a round trip! We explained to her what we were told. She took a picture of the ticket at 19:15 (that's when she took a picture and not that we got on the bus late; later, we claimed that it was the time we got on the bus "late"). She directed us to the store where we bought it to get a refund for the tickets since we didn't use the tickets and gave us information Erroneous! I asked the woman several times if we would get a refund, and she said of course because we didn't use the cards. We ran to the newsstand on Friday morning before leaving for the airport. We explained the matter to the saleswoman, suddenly, she didn't speak English at all and didn't want to try to understand us only after she realized we weren't going late. It was essential for us to understand what happened. She called someone from the bus company, and I explained to the woman from the company what happened and asked to speak to the seller again. At the end of the conversation, the seller shouted at us: "No! No!" The ticket back, she suddenly spoke in English and said it was hers, but agreed to return the tickets when I insisted and explained to her that I paid and did not get the money back. I wrote an email to the company, but they haven't responded or answered for over a week!
- dianacG6555HZ00Horrible experienceWorst hop -on hop-off tour that I have ever experienced. The audio was very poor quality and almost impossible to understand. It was difficult to get a good view of the sites we were passing. The bus was old and uncomfortable to ride in. It is not air conditioned and there was very little air flow. There were few buses available to hop onto and the schedule was confusing and ended early in the evening. A complete waste of time and money!
- fabiolab53600Do not waste your money!I paid for 8 tickets for the hop on and hop off bus in Rome. We were told the buses ran til 9pm. We literally rode the bus for 15 minutes then found out the buses stopped at 7:15pm. Total waste of money and worst service ever- company does not even have the courtesy to respond to my emails.
- Mary H00Meeting Pope FrancisWe had an excellent guide! He was fluent in a number of different languages. He had a great sense of humor and his timing was fabulous. We were able to see the Pope and hear him very well. Although there were thousands of people in the audience our guide helped us to great seats. From where he seated us we were able to get very good photos and videos. We would highly recommend this trip! ❤️
- 549carolc00Worst everThe worst ever ever hop hop. Few bus .long wait. 3 lines however nearly same. Bad unhelpful rude staff. Lier. AWFUL
- Gary S D00Found best spot for picturesOur guide placed us in the perfect spot for pictures of the pope. Relatively little commentary, and the audience tickets are free, but getting us through the crowded entrances to the right spot was worth the price.
- Y9311RIfreds00Thank you AlexiaWe found the green line hop on hop off very good , no inconvenience, specially with the bus that Alexia rides on , she's super helpful and excellent to deal with , don't pay attention to the bad reviews
- lexiew98800horrible do not reccomedthey don't ever even show up we stayed their in the pouring rain for over 4 hours waiting for our ride!
- Heidi L00Choose DifferentlyWe were specifically looking for another tour company, but were approached by a very charismatic young man to try the Greenline. Mistake. The buses are crowded, and do not come as often as promised. The bus tour does almost the same route as the others, but the audio is pointless. You spent 80% of the time listening to bad music... and the audio is not in sync with the route.. so some of the info is lost. They could have added so much more info about Rome rather than the bad music. In general, the stops are bad in Rome because major Roads do not go near landmarks, so you have to find your stop, and then wander in to find the landmark... if you are expecting a tour like in London, or Dublin - pass. Take a walking tour instead.
- tamrinm202300Use another company…….Buses are infrequent and oversubscribed. When a bus does eventually arrive it is chaotic with the crowd jostling to board the bus and not everyone gets on. The staff are rude and abrupt - it’s a demeaning experience. We were eventually permitted to board the second bus to arrive at the Vatican stop yesterday, the first one was too full, only to be told it was heading to Termini, it’s final destination for the evening, with no stops in between. This was at 17:30. None of the 3 other tour bus companies to arrive at the Vatican stop last night had full buses or huge crowds waiting. Avoid the hassle and choose another provider.
- Sairo00Choose another companyTerrible service. 45+ minute wait for bus at every bus stop. Buses over crowded - pushing & fighting to get on as queues so big due to long wait. Poor commentary. Headsets not working. Stressed out attendant and bus driver. Also, traffic in Rome at Gridlock. Too expensive. Too few buses. Oversell tickets -more tickets sold than places on buses. 3 of other hopon hop off buses arrived to 1 of Greenline Choose another company.
- darkchocchild00Horrible Bus Service!Green Line Tours provides horrible, unreliable bus service and will not refund dissatisfied customers. Their Representative referred to us in a racist and derogatory way and the Company ignore the complaint. Our fourteen tickets were purchased from Andre, Owner of the Gift Shop at Crowne Plaza St. Peter’s—he is also unreliable with his Shuttle Bus. He blew us off after we were stranded twice in one day by Green Line Tours. It appeared to be a SCAM.
- HRK221000Use any other busToo many tickets for not enough busses. Busses were over crowded and often had to wait for next one in order to find space to get on. One of the busses, which we got twice, had a broken front door, making entry and exit a jam. Audio system music continues to play while narration of sights is going on, making it very difficult to hear the information being presented. Use any of the other busses in Rome.
- babettes150100Bad service, sell too many tickets for too less bussesBad service, they sell too many tickets for a little amount of places. The tour guide engages in a discussion if you say something about it, very unpolite. Too expensive for what you get.

The trip to Orvieto was on an uncomfortable and dirty coach. The tour guide was professional and very kind. We were required to stop at a cold out of the way restaurant to eat lunch. It was about an hour and a half too long. It was a waste of time and money. I would rather go to eat on my own in Assisi. The guide in Assisi was knowledgeable and friendly. The coach we rode in was uncomfortable and cramped. I am not trying to be critical but the guide had a family member with her on the trip and I was not opposed to that. She was very kind however she was a smoker and the smell was very strong and made me and my daughter very ill. It really affected me to the point that I was ill even after the trip. I’m sure she didn’t mean to have that affect on anyone. Some people are very sensitive to smells. Overall, I thought the trip could have been shorter with the lunch cut out.

I spent a magical week in Orvieto several years ago and wanted my husband to get a chance to see it. We both wanted to go to Assisi. So, while I don't often book tours (rather than organizing my own travel), I decided to book a Green Line tour to Orvieto and Assisi through viator. Big regrets. We blew through Orvieto in just one hour, which only allowed us to see the Cathedral. The Cathedral is magnificent... but so is the rest of the town and it's worth spending time in. After that, we spent 1 1/2 hours in the most horrible restaurant I've ever (not) eaten in. They rushed us through Orvieto so we could eat a pre-paid dinner (included in the cost of the trip) in a truly horrendous restaurant called L'Allegra Locanda. Note that although I had brought some apples and bread, they wouldn't let us eat on the bus. And, when I saw how bad the food was at the restaurant and asked if I could skip the meal (despite already paying for it as part of the trip), the tour guide said there was nowhere to walk to--and she was right. It was simply the worst restaurant I've ever been to in decades of traveling through 40 countries. The food looked bad. It smelled bad. I didn't eat any of the so-called appetizers, pasta, or horrific meat/potatoes dish but decided to try to nibble on the cake. The cake was so hard, I couldn't even get a fork into it (and it wasn't biscotti). My husband had some of the pasta and said it was cold and tasted like spaghetti-os. I watched as the waitresses collected plates with uneaten food from the people all around me. After the so-called lunch, I talked to several other women on the tour and everyone agreed. The meat in particular looked and smelled horrendous. We all agreed that instead of forcing people to go to a truly terrible restaurant, pre-paid, they should give everyone an extra hour and a half in Orvieto and then go directly from there to Assisi. People can buy their own lunch in Orvieto or pick up a snack in Assisi.
I'm sure the tour operators get a great deal on the worst restaurant ever and are glad they can advertise lunch as included in the price of the tour. But, it isn't worth it if such a terrible lunch ruins the trip.
Once we got to Assisi, there was a tour guide who was not very knowledgeable--most people wandered off from the guide. Assisi itself was beautiful and well worth seeing. But, I think most of us were quite hungry after being held captive at a restaurant with food so bad many of us were afraid to even try it.
We gave the main tour guide a decent tip because it wasn't her fault the tour included such a terrible restaurant and the Assisi guide was fairly useless. I just hope the tour operators get the message that they can't send people to an abysmal restaurant in the middle of nowhere and then advertise an included lunch.
I honestly can't remember a worse restaurant experience anywhere in the world ever. If Green Line tour operators read this... include more time in Orvieto. Skip the horrendous lunch. Find a better tour guide for Assisi (although that wasn't the main problem).
Italy is a magical place with great food. Don't ruin it for people. Please.

It was a great day with a very good guide. We loved both stops and they were both unique and we learned a lot. We walked through Assissi and saw places Francis once looked at. As well we visited where Clare prayed and studied and did such wonderful good works. Orvieto was beautiful and the idea of the homes on the lower plane and the businesses up on top of the rugged terrain was fascinating. The streets were so tight and our driver so confident. It was an excellent trip and a highlight for us.

It is a long day. We left Rome 7:30 A.M. and returned at 8:00 P.M. Our guide Elle was excellent. She spoke a number of languages. Our first stop was Orvieto. We had about an hour there. If you want to see the inside of the cathedral there is a 4 Euro ticket. You can avoid this charge going in the the side door "a culto", for worship. From there you can see most of the inside. I felt that it was worth the price and bought the tickets. There are many shops with beautiful items for sale. The ceramics were impressive, but they are pricey. However I don't know where you could find anything like them. From Orvieto we took the bus out to the country for lunch. It was a good lunch. Drinks are not included, but the prices are very reasonable. From there we went to Assisi. A local guide took over. We walked through town, visited two churches with copious commentary by the guide and the life of St. Francis. We also had free time to spend in the church or to explore the town. Before leaving we made one brief stop at the church of St Mary and the Angels. From there it was two hours back to Rome. There is a lot of walking, much of it going up and down. There was no restroom on the bus, but our guide made ample opportunity at the stops for people to use restrooms. Both the guide and driver were professional. If it is your desire to visit Assisi, I highly recommend this tour.

We booked an Assisi/Orvieto day trip from Rome on Viator, which ended up being through Green Line Tours. We loved both Assisi and Orvieto but were disappointed with several things about Green Line, including overall friendliness and service. Our hotel was slightly outside of the city center so we did not attempt to get hotel pick-up and took public transportation to the start of the tour at the Green Line office. It was not difficult to find using GPS on our phone but, after checking in there, we had to walk a couple of blocks to where the bus was waiting. Not a huge deal, but it would've been more convenient to just meet where the bus was. Our tour guide was not very friendly, and the tour was bilingual in Spanish and English. She did not give us a very good overview of what the day would look like. We went to Orvieto first, which was a great town. After Orvieto, we stopped at an agritourism site for lunch. Lunch was okay but nothing to write home about it. We wish we had spent more time in either of the towns and less time sitting at a random bed and breakfast site in the middle of nowhere. We really loved our local guide in Assisi (and were somewhat relieved to have a little time without the Green Line guide, to be honest). The worst part of the trip was arriving back in Rome. Before going to the Green Line office, we did the hotel drop-offs. This was miserable because we made many turns all throughout busy Rome. Eventually, my husband and I just jumped off the bus at a random hotel because we were so carsick and arrival at the Green Line office didn't seem to be close. We also heard from fellow travelers that the hotel pick-up was difficult to arrange and inconsistent. We'd recommend taking a day trip to these locations but with a different tour company.

The trip was interesting. My friend and I looked forward to this visit to Assisi. The time spent in Orvieto was okay, but we were very much rushed in Assisi. It was like one church after another there was hardly anytime to go around on our own or get some souvenirs. I think there was too much time spent on lunch, and because we had some mechanical al problem, the guide went very quickly in Assisi to get back to Rome on time.

Had a great time despite the rainy weather. Really enjoyed having an hour and a half in Orvieto to explore on my own. Wish the same opportunity had been available in Assisi as the town is beautiful. Our guide (Lena?) Is super sweet and attentive. Overall the trip was enjoyable and the included lunch was delicious as well.

Our trip to Assisi and Orvieto occured on a day that included heavy rains, strong winds and temps in the 50s. At 7am we boarded a (restroom-less) coach bus with a pack of roughly 40 other travelers. At least 4 different languages were spoken and they the guide for the 2.5 hour trip to Orvieto needed to give descriptions of what we saw out the window (though much was hidden in fog) in 4 different languages. A talent on his part, for sure. But a tedious cacophony of sounds for the traveler. Admittedly at 52 years old, my wife and i were among the youngest on the bus (by far). Many travelers had heavy coats, canes, medical bags and more.
When we arrived in Orvieto, and passengers learned that there would be some stairs to climb, some expressed their concern. They weren't fair to guides who had said that taxis would be available to bring them to the top of the hill. The travelers didn't expect to have to pay this extra cost.
Our guides job in Orvieto was to make sure that we got off the bus together and returned on time. Beyond that, it was up to us to tour the city, pay for tours of the church, navigate through the medieval city and more. Our guide could not be found for questions.
We then returned to the bus, and header to a winery for lunch. A 50 minute ride. The food was 'eh'.
Our next adventure was another 45 minute ride to Assisi. We were handed over to another guides who each would accommodate the specific language of the group. this made the tour far more helpful and our guide did a really nice job. She met the driving rains, wind and chilly temps with optimism and encouraged some of the slower ones in our group to keep up with the group - a significant challenge for some. We spent close to 2.5 hours here. For some it wasn't nearly enough - for me...I was done an hour before we finished. The weather and walking conditions didn't help.
At the conclusion of the Assisi tour (6pm), our guide mentioned that we were in for a 2.5 hour drive back as the road conditions were wet and the driver would need to proceed slowly. SOme members on the bus complained that they wanted to visit the church at the bottom of the hill - as they believed "They'd never have an opportunity to return again." So we did.
Yes, I'm sure this trip would have been more enjoyable had the weather been better. But spending more than 9 hours (between starts and stops) on a bus to do a couple hours of touring was more than I was willing handle.

You have to call them, as they do not pick up from all the hotels. When we went on the tour, we just went to the office, as it was close to our hotel. But they did say when they confirmed our booking that you have to call them.

Yes and you see more it is value for money. Make sure you have good walking shoes and a sweater as these are in hills and can be chilly depending on when you go.

You have to contact the tour company and I suggest to do it ahead of time. Unfortunately, the office does not have a 24x7 service, you cannot even leave a message or request a callback.

Hi
My friend and myself are arriving at Rome airport on 9/14 at 2:00pm and are looking to be picked up then do some kind of a tour that ends up In Sorrento where we have an apartment.
We will have just completed the Camino pilgrimage and will each have a backpack, small carry on and a 26” rolling suitcase.
I look forward to your reply.
We assume you will want payment in Euros , cash and will be sure to have that .
Ciao

We are reviewers here, customers like you. You need to contact the tour company for the best answer to this sort of question. I recommend booking ahead online, where you can choose how you pay.

Ciao! We're group of 3/4 traveling last week of September. Is too late to reserve 1 week prior? What is your cancellation policy & is the full amount charged at the time of reservation or day of the tour? Also what day do you recommend booking the trip (M,Th,S) to ensure enough people sign up around this time of the year?
Grazie Mille!
