Great Customer Service

06-Aug-2021

Carrani tours was responsible for the first 3 days of our trip. From Rome to Naples to Pompeii and arranged transportation to and from Amalfi. The guide Rossella was great. She even helped us with the next leg of our trip (different operator). I forgot the bus driver name but he was very good and helpful. Guide Paula leaded the group through Naples and Pompeii, she was great. The drivers to and from Amalfi were very good. Thanks Carrani Tour.

😱Unbelievable and wonderful. Roberta was our guide for the Vatican City on 27 September 2022. She was excellent and very helpful. We skipped the line and she explained each room and gave a whole new meaning on the Vatican City. She provided little tidbits and made the tour very interesting and enjoyable. Her English were excellent as well as her German 😀. She is well travelled and was a pleasure to discuss the Italian history with. I would definitely recommend I Love Rome - Roberta for the Vatican City skip the line tour, worth every penny and minute.

Was a great tour, a lot to see. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and was good with questions. The only con was that he was walking fast. But other than that, this tour was great. Just keep in mind a lot of walking, so have shoes that can keep up.

Save your money on Uber instead. Buses’ AC are BROKEN and so are some of the outlets for the audio guide. When it rains, good luck because the ceiling from upstairs will leak all over the lower deck.

30-Jun-2022

Two stars, because the Vatican museum and the Sistine Chapel is beautiful and impressive. The guided tour itself does not deserve any stars. We wated for 95 minutes after the sqeduled time for guests who didn’t come, in the boiling sun, and our guide seemed totally lost when we finally arrived the museum. She was not able to retrieve the right amount og tickets for the group to enter, and spent another huge amount of time to get it right. Inside the tour her audioguide worked only periodically, and what she managed to tell us was far from impressive. For a fee this large we expect far far more.

23-Nov-2024

The worst hop on hop off experience ever, buses arrive every 30/40 minutes and they're almost always full. I had a 48 hs ticket (€34) and the staff treated me in a very rude way and tried to convince me that my ticket was a 2 days ticket and it's not valid anymore.

27-Feb-2025

I don't recommend this company's bus! We waited for 40 minutes at a stop and the bus didn't come! When we bought the ticket, we were told it would take about 10 to 15 minutes. When we waited for 40 minutes, we asked the staff, and the staff told us it would take 20 minutes. I told him I had already waited for 40 minutes! But we were told we had to wait! This was a waste of our time and money! While we were waiting, we saw two buses from other companies leave one after another! If I could, I would give it one star!

12-Nov-2024

I bought a bus ticket and a representative of the company said that the bus would run every ten minutes. In reality, I stood for 30 minutes in the middle of the day, in the evening I waited for 1 hour, and the bus never came.

12-Feb-2023

Amateur. One stars, because the Vatican museum and the Sistine Chapel is beautiful and impressive. The guided tour itself does not deserve any stars. The company should prepare their staff properly for such a wonderful place. I think is not guided tour fault only but Greyline responsibility. Shallow possession of the narrative subject, as a consequence, no answers to the questions. Citation of information and facts, known from school textbooks. The story is "about anything", without logic and casual relationships. Constant distractions, literally to everything that comes into view. Inability to tell exciting stories...
