About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- mayccm20180 contributionsSpecial experiencesThe guide in Pompeii was very professional and knowledgeable. She led us to realize the history of Pompeii. The guide in Vesuvius was well prepared and was willing to answer our questions. The guide in the whole trip was very helpful. Plentiful and tasty lunch. However, we had inadequate time to explore Vesuvius and path was difficult to walk.Written 19 October 2024
- 706judyj0 contributionsThe worst guide for such a lovely place. I wish I could have gotten better info, his English& Spanish was terribleThis lovely place should have had a better tour guide. Our guide arrived late The group arrived there at 730-745am and our Guide got there at 7:55am and the Green line tours office never opened. The man from the Green line finally arrived at 8:20am to get us our bus.The most discouraging problem was our guide had to speak in 4 different languages and he didnt have a mastery of any language.The infohe gave was confusing and very basicWritten 30 October 2023
- Jade C0 contributionsVery average tour.So much potential, so many issues. When visiting a new city, I love to see it by night on my first day so see it from a different perspective, enjoy the lights and do some scouting as to where I’ll spend my time the next couple of days. We booked this tour which departed on time from Roma Termini, although the indications are not super clear as to where to catch the bus. We headed to Eataly where we had about an hour to spend. Plan to either shop or eat but doing both is unrealistic based on time of day (most counters are closed) and time allowed. We then proceeded to the night tour. Could we view some sites at night and enjoy it? Absolutely. Is the bus comfortable? Decently although there was a “plastic” rooftop which did not give the full feel of being on a double-decker. Did we understand what we were looking at? Not at all. Most of the audio commentary did not match the route and we were told to “look at our right” but there was nothing to look at and it was confusing more than anything else. We got the 15euro deal from their site and therefore I was not that disappointed in the average experience but I have had much better experiences than this one.Written 9 October 2023
- 424kent0 contributionsBeautiful 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.Written 25 September 2023
- Lital6Sh0 contributionsGet 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!Written 27 August 2023
- dianacG6555HZ0 contributionsHorrible 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!Written 10 August 2023
- fabiolab5360 contributionsDo 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.Written 8 June 2023
- Mary H0 contributionsMeeting 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! ❤️Written 1 June 2023

- Heidi L0 contributionsChoose 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.Written 2 March 2023
- tamrinm20230 contributionsUse 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.Written 6 January 2023
- Sairo0 contributionsChoose 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.Written 27 October 2022

Orvieto and Assisi are beautiful and it made for a great day despite the rainy day.
Regarding the tour, we had reserved a Spanish tour, the tour escort Jenny was very pleasant and nice but spoke no Spanish and her English was very limited and hard to understand. She spent the whole day including lunch talking to the bus driver non-stop (almost felt like white noise in the background). It would’ve been nice to have her point out some of the beautiful scenery and towns that we went by during the ride. We had no information on Orvieto and seems that she was not familiar with the itinerary because we asked about a monument and she didn’t know what it was. Our guide in Assisi was very good but she rushed through the visit taking us at a very fast pace through everything even though we had an extra hour of free time.
The lunch was ok even though didn’t even include water. The farm was nice and rustic but probably not worth the extra time to get there especially since we didn’t know what was special about it.

The tour overall was great and the tour guide, Christina, was really good. The lunch in Tuscany was amazing as was the visit to Orvieto. We loved Assisi and visiting both churches.
The only unpleasant part of the tour was the bus ride. The temperature on the bus was freezing in the morning then way too hot on the way home. We asked the driver to adjust multiple times, but it was still not pleasant.
Also, the tour guide in Assisi was very knowledgeable, but sounded like she read a script most of the time.

We traveled by train from Rome to Assisi and then a bus that left us at the basilica in almost 10 minutes. We toured the place, visited the crypt where the remains of the Saint and his 4 friends rest. The basilica has paintings by Giotto on its walls.

Sadly, the bus was 2 hrs+ late. Was told there was a fire delaying drivers route. Either way it affected the trip. Was told we’d get free wine with lunch which true but didn’t compensate for missed time in Orvieto. When we arrived at this town we’re told we had 20 minutes. That was only enough time to see the church. I’m Assisi was given a two hr tour which was interesting but had less than .5 hr to spend on our own. So if one wants to really visit these towns this won’t work for you. On the flip side, the escorts were nice enough and while waiting met other interesting travelers that helped pass the time.

Dear Kind customer
we are sorry for your disappoint regarding the few time spent in Orvieto , but as you have argumented , it has been due to the accident during the trip, and it is beyond our responsibility.

It was like stepping back in time. Having seen the film BrotherSon Sister Moon a long time ago, I was keen to experience the place for myself. Perhaps more of an emphasis on the philosophy Saint Francis stood for would have been good. The young guide was great and the lady who took us around. Perhaps its fair to say that its a long day - 7.15 start and due to heavy traffic around 8.30 back. The lunch was fair but then I don't like pasta, opportunities to socialise and meet lots of interesting people from different parts of the world!

The trip was very nice. We stopped in Orvieto first. It was a great experience to get in the funicular to access the town. Visited the Dome and walked around town. It is a beautiful place. Afterward, we went to Assisi, where a very experienced guide, M. Casanova took us through the most important places there. She is so good at her work. The explanation was very detailed and answered all our questions.

Great trip to both. The history and spirituality of Assisi if that is your direction is second to none. I j earned much about Saint Francis and what he was about. Truly incredible. Even endorsing a female order. Oviedo was a unique town with much history, friendly people and amazing history. I will definitely go back to both.
