It is not to believe how impressive was our visit to the San Peter church. It takes one day only to visit the Basilica . I suggest to read a book to understand how reach of history is this Catholic basilica .

Responded 11 Feb. 2020
Dear Guest, thank you very much for this contribution - we're glad you enjoyed the experiences and took the time to review us on TripAdvisor. Your feedback is very useful and your suggestions will help potential customers as well as the community that follows us. We'll certainly work on making our communication more clear and efficient in terms of directions from the Vatican to the Colosseum; however, please be informed that we do operate a combined tour that includes lunch and transportation to the Colosseum by coach, as a way to cuddle our guests. With an intent to cut costs and make the tour more affordable, we then decided to curate a tour without lunch/transport and add it to our portfolio. Kind regards, the Gray Line I Love Rome Team
