A great way to visit Rome, especially for those with limited time. You get on and off at the stops that interest you most, stay as long as necessary to visit your chosen monument(s) at that stop, and then quietly get back on the next bus. All well organized and relatively easy to understand. Only downside, the narration system via headphones, much improvable. I highly recommend it, then if the weather is nice and you choose the above, uncovered part of the bus is the top.

The bus stops were easy to find and the tickets were just scanned on my phone which was fast and easy to do. The bus took us to all the sites around the city and the ear piece commentary gave us all the history and information as well as tips on things to see and visit. Well worth the money!

Beautiful discoveries, unfortunately for the castle no audio guide and no text translated into French it's really a shame Italy should follow France's example, where every museum, even the smallest, offers at least 5 languages, including Italian!
    • Use your 1-day hop-on hop-off pass to check off all the top attractions, from the Borghese Gallery to Bioparco Zoo and even the Colosseum!

    • Stay entertained with free Wi-Fi and an insightful audio guide available in 16 languages on board the open-top double-decker buses.

    • Skip the lines and wander through all five levels of Castel Sant’Angelo at your own pace. Don’t miss the many courtyards and the panoramic terrace.

    • Upgrade for a breezy hosted entry and a multilingual audio guide to know the history of this ancient Roman mausoleum-turned-papal fortress!

    • Fun fact: You can get off at stop no. 6 (on all hop-on hop-off routes) to arrive directly outside Castel Sant’Angelo.

    The experience was amazing and the tour was well done. It was definitely worth its price. My only regret is that it didn't stop near a mall or further monument, but it remains, regardless, a rich and beautiful experience.

    We went straight to the tour area and after visiting the Sistine Chapel, which lasted 3 hours, it was a great pleasure! I highly recommend it as a pleasant way to end the day at the Vatican!

    Castel Sant’Angelo – the chameleon of Rome!

    Built in the 2nd century AD as Emperor Hadrian's mausoleum, Castel Sant’Angelo later served as a military fortification and a refuge for popes during the 1527 sieges. Today, it's a National Museum. Skip the queues and explore it at your own pace, opt for hosted entry to ensure smooth access. Consider an audio guide to delve deeper.

    The castle features five floors connected by a spiral ramp. Visit the chamber of ashes, historic cells of incarcerated ideological opponents, lavish Papal residence rooms, and marvel at an extensive weaponry collection. Conclude your visit on the terrace, enjoying panoramic views of Rome and a direct view of the magnificent statue that gives the ‘castle of the holy angel’ its name.
