Traveler reviews
Great way to sightseeing without killing the legs
We used this as our mode of transport rather than tour. But this was excellent choice. Rome is bif to explore so hop on and off for full day is great . We got some food and drinks and sat on the top and got great views while travelling to each place we wanted to visit . Not sure why people are complaining I thought this waa great value for money sightseeing while traveling rather than being on the underground. Book on GetYourGuide and use code NEFEAST5 and get 5% off work on any bookings and any amount of people (just use a different email for different tours excursions as only works once for each booking )
Avoid at all costs!!!!!!!
We've done Hop On tours in many cities. THIS WAS THE WORST ever. Got tickets from Viator. Wanted to look up where to start tour. Two maps on City Signtseeing's on map don't match (pdf vs interactive). Made our way to stop shown on their interactive map. Waited 35 minutes. Stood very visibly and half-empty bus thundered right past us. Then were told we would have to make our way half way across Rome to start tour (about 1 hour walk or 40 Euro taxi fare). Pathetic! The whole idea of a Hop on bus is that you do NOT HAVE TO WALK. We just went home and now booking with a different provider. Avoid this provider at all cost.
Good but not hop on/off. Roma termini to get on only.
This trip advised could get on at any point but it didn't stop anywhere. Could only get on at roma termini. Nice seeing everything lit up. Only lasted 1 hrs not 1.5 hrs.
It was the usual 'Hop On...
It was the usual 'Hop On Hop Off' experience, nothing different to any other. Pleased the audio equipment worked.
Very Disappointing Experience
Very poor guidance on and off the bus. Employees of City Sightseeing Rome were only interested in selling tickets. As I already had tickets they were unwilling and of no help at all. There was also a big language barrier, very little English, or Italian. Will use other local tour operators in future. Very disappointing,
