Traveler reviews
Hop on hop off rome
Great way to get around the city and familiar yourself with the location of the sites. The staff are very friendly and on hand at every stop to assist. The multi language guide was easy to work and gave a good description as you passed by the sites. You get a good close up view of the Colosseum and the circus maximus. It should be noted that it's a bit of a walk to other attractions like The Trevi fountain and Vatican with some navigation required. There are 2 lines which follows a similar route with the yellow line covering a religious highlight of the tour. I would also mention that the night tour which you have to buy a separate ticket for goes along the same route as the day tour.
Take another operator, like Big Bus!
We took a 48h pass for 4 people. Price was ok, but the waiting time for a pickup was sometimes more then 1 hour, waiting in the burning sun with children. And other companies like Big Bus came by 3 or 4 times while we were waiting. The second day we even had to wait for more then 1.5h. We took an Uber, and didnt use this ticket the whole day...
There is no stopping or...
There is no stopping or even passing for photos. Customer service e.g explaining commentary process is non existent. The actual drive around the city however is very pleasant
There was not enough...
There was not enough buses to support the amount of people on the routes. We had to wait 30 minutes for a bus. Other companies had multiple buses available for their passengers and averaging about 5 minutes.
Worth what you pay
The recording doesn't match up with what you're actually seeing. The driver needs to drive more slowly.
