In collaboration with Eataly, the Green Line Tours sightseeing company launches its new Destination Eataly coach tours. This immersive new experience on board open-top double-decker buses in hop-on-off style will allow visitors to discover quality Italian food.
They will also discover some of the less-trodden neighbourhoods of the Eternal City such as Testaccio and Garbatella which have been revitalised over the last ten years, also thanks to the presence of Eataly.Discounted Vatican and Coliseum tours and an Eataly tote bag
The itinerary will complement Green Line Tours’ Discover Rome tours, which take in many of the capital's main places and monuments of interest. Eataly Roma, in the former Ostiense Air Terminal, will be the terminus of the new tours, which will depart in the morning at 10am and end at 8.30pm. Audio guides in 16 languages will be available on board and clients will be offered a number of benefits such as an extension of the ticket duration, a 30% discount on guided tours of the Vatican Museums and the Coliseum, and an Eataly Tote Bag.
Eataly is an awesome food emporium on four levels
And of course they will have the chance to stop and savour the best of the gastronomic traditions of Roman and Italian cuisine in Eataly's Roman headquarters, which is on four levels over 16 ,000 square metres: an awesome emporium with Italian food and wines, restaurants and classrooms for training courses and presentations. "With Eataly as a new destination we wanted to enhance the already varied traditional bus tours we operate in Rome. This new sensory experience is linked to the excellence of Italian food and wine,” says Emanuele Orlando Desideri, Managing Director of Green Line Tours.
The two most popular sides of tourism in Italy: culture and food
“Rome offers tourists endless surprises and we provide a comfortable and efficient way to explore the city. Now with this new project we are giving visitors an opportunity that combines the two most popular sides of tourism in Italy: culture and food. In the high season we plan to make this a night tour; our passengers are mainly from European markets but there is growing interest from Italian visitors."
“The very best of Italian food and wine”
“We are delighted to be part of this project, which we hope will mark the start of a real upturn for tourism in Rome," says Fabio Rossi, Eataly Roma’s store manager. "In our store we strive to offer the very best of Italian food and wine both in our retail marketplace outlets and in our restaurants. We are convinced that it is a great added value for visitors to be able to combine an experience like this with a tour of Rome.”
