    An excellent trip. Unbelievably interesting. The guide was top notch and thoroughly enjoyed our 75 minute visit! Her knowledge of the the excavation and her explanation made us really understand how this magnificent building looked like in Nero’s time as Emperor of Ancient Rome.

    Domus Tour is Golden
    The tour was just right for us. Small group, the right pace, and a guide who spoke perfect English. The guide's narrative was informative and clear. Not too technical but detailed enough to allow one to understand the series of events in the history of the Domus Aurea. The VR portion of the tour was sublime.

    Better than the Colosseum
    This was a wonderful surprise. One of our group was educated in Rome and knew about this tour. I never had heard about this place but I now tell everyone going to Rome not to miss this tour. It is just yards from the Colosseum. Our guide was one of the working archeologists and her passion for the place was very evident. She went well over the scheduled time, but the time flew by. The virtual reality portion was extremely interesting and very informative. Anyone interested in Roman history should do this tour.

    Getting tickets to Vatican museum was easy, and location was convenient for pickup. Good pricing compared to other private services.

    Excellent Tour of Vatican Art & Architecture
    Leonardo did a truly exceptional job touring us around the Vatican. His knowledge was extremely impressive, he was very gracious, and sped up our tour as my child was dealing with the extreme heat. Highly recommended.

    Great Experience
    Bought ʻskip the lineʻ tickets (which means you just have a ticket you bought online before arriving, and you donʻt have to stand in the uber long line with people who never pre purchased their tickets). We bought from Get Your Guide and got instructions, although he told us to arrive AT the entrance time (1:00pm), but when we got there we were supposed to have arrived at 12:40pm, so we had to go to the back of the ʻskip the lineʻ line. No problem, set us back 15 mins. Bring passport. Some didnʻt have passport but they let them in with DL. SO MANY tourists itʻs a sea of people, but the staff did well managing. The tix allowed us entry into Vatican Museums/Sistine Chapel, and we did not want to wait in the hours long xray scanner line to get into St. Peterʻs Basilica, so we passed on that. The Museums were just insanely rich in history, obviously, and the Sistine Chapel was amazing to view.

    Good service .
    Used this bus tour to familiarise ourselves with Rome on our first day there.The commentary was very useful and gave us lots of information.It was the green bus we used as I think it was more frequent.

    Not reliable
    We had booked these tickets in advance to skip the line, but were called on the day itself by the Italian office that they had not been able to secure these tickets . According to them, the Vatican had given out less of these on-line tickets. Thus we had to stand in line still, to be able to get into this museum. Hence, not happy at all with this ticket offer: it is not reliable The art collection was impressive, the mass of the crowd shuffling through the hallways was unpleasant.

    Returned visit
    It has been over five years since I did this tour and I thought it would be fun to visit in the spring instead of the early fall as in the past. The cost was 12€ more but to be expected after all these years. I had to book the Italian tour but that was okay. Maria did an excellent job during the gardens tour and she even guided us partially in the museums; way more thorough than my previous visit. BUT...I did not read the fine print as the tour now only includes the gardens and the museums. In the past, you exited via the Sistine Chapel to the Basilica. No longer the case. I was so looking forward to visiting St Peter's and when I realised this was not available as before, I exited the museums as I was to tired and disappointed to finish the tour on my own. And I was certainly not interested in queuing in the piazza to gain entry to the Basilica. Six stars for Maria's efforts and minus two stars for eliminating entrance to St Peter's as in the past. Most disappointing.

    Vatican museum
    this tour was completely overpriced but all of the tours in Rome of the Vatican are the same. This is purely for queue skipping and I felt we would have been better with an audio tour. Did not include a tour of the Basilica, tour guide just left us outside it and went off, he gave no information on it and gave me the wrong info on the tomb of John Paul !!

    We liked it.
    I got my tickets for 16 Euros each from Tiqets. They were emailed to me by OnceUponATimeRomeTours and were labeled Coop Culture. I believe I took this tour or one substantially similar and recommend it. It is close to the Coliseum, but a little tough to find in the side of a hill. It's all underground so it can be colder. My wife and teen aren't into history but liked it. The VR is interesting and a good break. It is a well preserved site. I think over time this tour will get better and better. It is a large site. It was added to at one point by a different emperor. Our tour guide was an archeologist and very knowledgeable. A good start for us on our first night in Roma. This is the only tour that ever changed the time on me moving me up earlier in the afternoon.

I booked the tour not knowing what I was getting into, just as a way to see the city. Within minutes Alex sent me a message on WhatsApp and he immediately became our personal travel operator. He helped us book some more tours that suited our family and timeline perfectly and gave us amazing deals. Alex was available also to 24/7 for us and answer just about anything we wanted to know about anything. Even the things not related to the services he provides. For instance, we wanted to rent a Vespa for date night with the wife and, even though he don’t rent Vespas, he went out of his way to find a dealer and send us their way. On top of that, at the end of the day, EVERYDAY, he check on us to ensure that everything had went well and that we had enjoyed the day.

The bus tour was amazing as well. If i wanted to be picky the only thing two things i would recommend is 1) to have an actual person giving the tour instead of a pre-recorded audio and, 2) have AC on both decks of the bus, it was flaming hot in the busses.

Overall, AMAZING experience! I would definitely be saving Alex contact on my phone and reaching out to him next time we go to Rome!

The City Sightseeing Bus Tour was not running due to COVID-19 so we were transferred to the Green Line Tour.
Green Line Tours offered a good service (it ran every 30 mins) given the circumstances (COVID-19).
The tickets were purchased through Rome Tour Tickets - I would recommend using them as they provided exceptional customer service!

I’m giving the green line tours five stars because they had the most buses I saw out of the options in Rome. Their buses were clean and I never had to wait more than a few minutes for the next bus to show up. What you need to know is the hop on hop off experience in Rome is pretty weak overall. All three bus lines I saw only had eight stops. Because Rome is full of very narrow cobblestone streets, the buses don’t get close to most of the attractions. The most accessible stop is near the Colosseum and Forum. Beyond that, you are going to have to walk pretty far to get to some of the main attractions. For instance, the pantheon is a half a mile from the stop as well as the piazza Navona. Rome is a big city, it’s handy to have a bus that will bring you in the area of the sites but this is not for those that don’t want to put a lot of steps in for the day!

The recording wasn't matching up to the locations we would be at and didn't seem to give a very detailed description of the location. I know it wasn't a specific "tour", but at least we were able to get an overview of the sites. The bus itself was extremely hot and we took seats on both decks. Overall I would recommend this experience as it is a means of seeing a lot of the city at a resonable price.

Very disappointed, the hours of service were limited, we used the bus twice over two days because it stopping running early both days. Staff on bus useless, gave out a brochure to contact operator, said it was off season hours. Waste of $180 USD for two couples, stay away.

First thing you didn't paid this amount $180 USD for this bus tour. And this is tourist bus tour service it's not like you booked private tour . So during the day if you don't go to use the bus from the right stops then you can't blame to the service .our bus running all the day from 9 am to 6 pm in winter season. So you Maybe don't know how to use the tourist bus from the each stops.we are sorry for the inconvenience.

This regards Big Bus tours. We booked through a third-party seller, which - unbeknownst to us at the time - meant we were not eligible to ride both Big Bus and City Tours (even though the Big Bus rep at our first stop said we could). That meant a lot of waiting. A LOT of waiting in 95+ degree Rome heat. The tour info was okay, but I would have expected much more with a few thousand years of history to draw upon. We found a number of the Big Bus reps at the various stops to be rude. One rep was wonderful, though, as she went out of her way to help us with a lost ticket situation. Her actions alone pushed this rating up a notch.

The English tour over headphones was decent. However when we boarded after waiting 30 minutes for the Green line, we were not well recieved. I couldn’t download our boarding pass due to WiFi issues - only had our booking ref, and ticket numbers. We were told to get off and it was full, it was not full as seats were upstairs. The women said my booking number and ticket number which had hip on off and green line attached wasn’t enough. It felt very hostile. Eventually she let us on but we did not have headphones for a long time whilst I had to try and get WiFi. You could see the price I had paid without WiFi but it was too difficult for the women to be compassionate and with my Mother who is not great on legs and my son who is asd. I would not book Greenline again. Prefer a more frequent bus like ‘I love Rome’

Never the less we had fun in Rome.

hello, this service is a tourist bus service, not always will be same, there have lots of tourists they booked each day with us and in general, all have to wait for some stops which are more popular stopts near the attractions, so not only you all the tourist has to wait in those stops but other bus stops it won't take much time, and sometimes into the board new host joining and they didn't recognize your voucher as we work with lots of companies as bus tour operator they send us lots of clients from different operators, we are sorry for this and all the inconvenience which was happed with you, again this is tourist bus so before book always think that as well summer season it's always busy all the bus company not only we are.

Really poor experience on the Green Line. We had a bus with a clear perspex roof so there was little protection from the suns heat. This would have been ok had we kept moving but we had far to many long waits at stops, much to the irritation of many. At the Vatican stop we were 30 mins and had to ask them to drive forward to shade - never again! Most have the same stops and we watched others leave far quicker.

hello, we do apologize and really sorry about your experienced. the bus normally hops on hop off open bus tour, so the bus is always kept open on the roof in the summer time and that's why this is an open bus tour. then the delay time also was written to your viator voucher in the afternoon to evening time every 20 to 25 minutes bus will be late due to the reason of traffic issue. It's nothing that depends on us either green line bus operator. and thanks again for understanding the real explanation.

We were very happy with the service from Greenline and the people we dealt with. After arriving in Rome in the morning, we hopped on the bus at Roma Termini and did a complete circuit, getting our bearings and seeing where we wanted to explore further. We thought it was a good start while waiting for access to our hotel. Traffic is busy, even in the morning, but buses seemed to come by with reasonable frequency. Commentary was informative. I would use them again.

Too many people queued at 1st stop. This is where we are told to go. Waited 1hr in queue all busses full. Waste of time couldn't see anything because of delay we couldn't spend time getting off the bus. Worried we would have to queue at other stops. Had a train ticket booked for the port.
