Sherri S.

One day in Rome and wanted to see as much as possible. The hop on hop off bus was perfect for our needs. We didn't have a reservation...just walked up to one of the many kiosks in the area and purchased a ticket. We paid $20 each (said it was $22 however). Stopped at 8 locations. ( see my attached picture for the stops). You can get off at any of the stops and get back on a different bus. There is a hop on representative at every stop, it is managed extremely well. Waiting for a bus is not bad at all as one stops every 15 minutes. Not a long wait. Headphones are provided and you plug in right at your seat. A friendly voice recording informs you of the sights. The recording has volume control and channels for different languages. For example, English was #2. It is very easy to spot the pink bus. If you stayed on the bus without stopping I believe it is an hour and a half long. Never thought I would ever do a hop on hop off bus and surprisingly I was quite pleased and impressed.

Us at the Colosseum. Love it

really good tour Emanuele was very informative and interesting he knew loads of facts and was very friendly . the tour of the Colosseum and Ancient Rome was amazing we thoroughly enjoyed it

Outside the entrance to Vatican City.
Matthew M.

We did the Vatican City, Sistine Chapel, St Peter's Bascilica skip the line tour - and let me tell you "ROBERTA" was one of the most entertaining guides we have ever used! She had so much energy and you can truly see her passion for the arts. It was a warm day in July so make sure you're prepared with water and sunscreen. Also for inside the Vatican make sure you have your shoulders covered, they are pretty strict about this. I would recommend this tour for anyone visiting Rome, I'm not a big on religion but seeing all of the ancient architecture and art was really incredible!

Pompeii

We did the Pompeii and Naples 1-day tour through Gate One with this tour agency. The day before I called to confirm pick up time and they said 730AM pick up but our paper from gate one said to come an hour earlier than assigned time 730AM for pick up. Later that night, luckily, we were in the room and received a call to be picked up at 630AM. Next day 630AM: the minivan driver was nice enough to allow all of us five minutes to grab a quick breakfast at our hotel. He dropped us off at the main tour bus at 7AM for take off. The bus then departed at 720AM. Our bus guide was Steffano and driver Luigi. The official tour guide was a lady. They were very wonderful. One hour into the ride, we stopped at a visitor resting point for coffee & toilets. 90 minutes later we arrived at Naples and this was disappointing. 45 minutes walking through the city center, looking at buildings, and back into the bus. I was expecting to be at the coastal side for a close up picture of the shore/piers! Such a waste of valuable time. Then bus ride an hour later, we arrived at a restaurant for the included lunch. It was so mediocre. But I don't expect much when anyone says lunch with guided tour is included. We stayed for an hour. Then when I thought we were going into the excavation site finally, we stopped at a seashell/ jewelry shop for 30 minutes. Honestly this can be edited out of the itinerary. POMPEII entrance site was right next to it and I wished they mentioned that so we can just start ahead on our own instead of waiting around. Suggestion: They can briefly mention this place for those who want to visit/buy and the rest can go ahead. Finally the tour started and it was quick, about 1.5 hour total at the site. Our lady guide was great - very entertaining but I wished we had more time to freely roam INSIDE the site!!! Seriously, POMPEII site is SO BIG. I felt rushed. We didn't get to enjoy everything, just briefly the main stuff. I saw skeletal bones tucked away in the corner catching nobody's attention bc it was so incognito from the ancient vases showcasing, hence, throwing people off that the rest of the room wasn't interesting. Our tour guide didn't even walked to the bones to show the group but she probably didn't know? They all briskly left that room. We didn't venture beyond the center square at the end of the three mummies. After 1.5 hrs inside, I noticed she took us to the exit for a free 20 minutes time to roam, I turned back but we were already past the no entry sign and was stopped by the security guy... luckily I had proof that I was already here and didn't mean to exit. I rushed back in and tried to take the majestic of it all in. Later I found out from the divided group, the Spanish group who came with us, saw more things we didn't see. Then after 90 minutes on the return bus, we stopped at the same resting point for 30 minutes. Then another hour into Rome. I felt this rest was unnecessary because the lady guide already gave the group that half hour post exit of Pompeii to rest/ toileting. I was okay at this point, the group were of older people and I guess they needed more rest. Here is the worst part: at the drop off from the main bus, we were personally directed to the wrong minivan driver although I asked our guide twice and he pointed to the driver who doesn't speak English. I tried to show the driver my hotel name from my phone to confirm but he just gestured for me to get on the minivan. I already felt iffy when the first passenger was dropped off bc it was not on my side of town where my hotel is. After the driver dropped off most of the people, he asked us our hotel, we replied, and he said that our hotel was not on his list! After it was just us on the minivan, he said he can't do anything about us. We reasoned that this was not on us. GREY LINE is still liable but with a language barrier it was frustrating. He offered to take us to the agency or we pay him personally to take us to the hotel. I was vexed at this point. We refused to pay more for transportation so he took us to the agency. I called their local GL phone enroute (kudos here to google voice for 1 cent/ minute or my phone bill would be outrageous) about the situation and they spoke to each other. I was feeling so sketchy because we were at the very back of the minivan and climbing over seats to try to give my phone to the driver so he can talk with GREY LINE rep. First they said we ourselves asked to be dropped off with this group on that side of town, no we did not. Then at the agency, they said we went to the wrong driver, no we did not because we were pointed to him witnessed by other tourists. GL did step up and provided us a taxi to our hotel. Communication with the rep on the phone helped but the people at the agency didn't initiate to talk to us so I had to be cautious and asked everything twice for insurance.

Mateo in action!

Our driver, Antonello, was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend him if you are thinking about this type of tour. He was so personable, had a lot of great knowledge to share, and fit in all the sights we wanted to see in the 5-hour tour. He knew the places to get out and take pictures and he made the experience in Rome a great one! Julia was our private tour guide at the Vatican. She was absolutely wonderful. She was so animated and shared with us the rooms and pieces she felt were the most important to see with only one day to explore the Vatican. We had such a wonderful time with her. She is one tour guide I will not forget! If you want an above-and-beyond experience at the Vatican, book with Easitalytours and request Julia. You will not be disappointed! This is the best Tour company out there. They are reasonably priced and the tour guides are absolutely top-notch!

We booked the "Private Borghese Gallery Tour with Hotel Pick-up and Drop-off" from Eyes of Rome on…read moreOctober 21, before the Omicron variant placed our present trip to Rome very much up in the air. Happily we were able to make it to Rome and to experience this wonderful, personalized tour of what I think is the greatest collection of treasures in Rome on December 26. We were picked up on-time at our hotel by the tour's driver who was well-informed and effective with regard to the current COVID protocols, helping us to ensure we had the appropriate type of mask required and our physical vaccination proof (we had assumed digital versions would suffice, but this is not currently the case in Rome or at least not for the Villa Borghese). Another tour operator probably wouldn't have checked for these items and we would have missed the entire experience. We were dropped off at the Villa Borghese and met immediately by our personal guide, Silvia, who greeted us warmly and immediately started setting the context of what we were about to see with the history of the Aurelian wall, Roman life in the 1600s, and the concept of the "villa suburbana," all of which is quite necessary for a full appreciation of the wonder that is the Galleria Borghese. She explained to us the relation of the Galleria's founder Cardinal Scipione Borghese and his position as the Cardinal Nephew to Pope Paul V, which gave him political power over the Papal States. Silvia told us of the original plan of the gardens and the vivarium, which housed species from all over the world- plants and birds respectively, which was foundational to understanding the art collection to come. For context, I have twice visited the Galleria Borghese in 1996 and 2010, but it was my husband's first visit to the Galleria and, in fact, to Rome. Our tour impressed, entertained, and satiated the curiosity of both of us equally- not an easy feat, for sure. We appreciated that Silvia structured the tour as much as possible as the Galleria was meant to be experienced (unwinding, if philosophically, the changes to the sequence of rooms necessitated by current COVID protocols). Silvia was knowledgeable, personable, funny, and very well-versed in the history of the Borghese family, the Papacy as related to it, and the artists (Bernini, Carvaggio, etc.) and their works featured in the museum. Among the highlights for us: *A very informative but also witty and humorous study comparing the depiction (and by extrapolation the characterization) of Venus painted with Cupid by two artists- Cranachi (il vecchio) and Brescianino, an eye-opening discussion about the differing regional attitudes toward women at the time *Revealing the technique but also the humanity of Caravaggio with a thorough education on the 'Madonna dei Palafrenieri.' Some of why the painting would have been a shocking portrayal of Mary, Jesus, and St. Anne may be obvious, but understanding all the details- Mary's plainly visible underskirt- contemporary of the artist's time, the wrinkled, withered portrayal of St. Anne (the Vatican chapel bearing her name being the intended destination for this work, where it was ultimately rejected), and the still-astounding use of light in darkness was extremely interesting and enriching to our experience *A 360-degree analysis of Bernini's Baroque masterpiece Apollo and Daphne (starting with Silvia ensuring we averted our eyes to view the sculpture first from the right-hand side, as intended by the artist himself prior to the statue being moved) gave us a complete understanding of this work. Viewing the sculpture- which I had seen before but never from the vantage point encouraged by our guide- this way gives the complete story of Daphne's encapsulation into the tree depicted here and Apollo's (non-)reaction. When the delicately carved, paper-thin tree bark was pointed out to us, you could almost feel the heartbeat that Apollo would have felt as his hand grasped it. I appreciated the details of the windswept hair turning into leaves, which also stemmed from her hands, and the roots emanating from her foot, details I had not really fully appreciated before. I would highly recommend Eyes of Rome and specifically our guide Silvia. I cannot enumerate with words how much more I appreciated the Galleria Borghese with her expert and naturally flowing guidance and historical context. We had a fantastic time that we will not soon forget.

Alessandro is a fantastic guide! So knowledgeable and fun. I can't recommend him and and this tour…read morecompany enough for a hypogeum tour of the Colosseum.
