During my visit to Rome, I decided to try the sightseeing bus, and it was one of the best decisions I made. Since it was my first time in the city, it really helped me find my way around and see the main tourist attractions without the stress of constantly having to look for transportation. I really liked being able to hop on and off at the stops whenever I wanted. One moment I was visiting the Colosseum, and later I was already on my way to the Vatican area. The buses ran frequently, so I never had to wait very long. The audio commentary during the tour was also a pleasant surprise, as it explained the history of the monuments in a simple and interesting way. The upper, open-air deck was probably my favorite part. Seeing Rome from that angle and being able to take photos as the bus made its way through the streets was a very special experience. Plus, the staff were friendly and always available to help whenever I had a question. Overall, I was really satisfied with the experience. For anyone visiting Rome for the first time, I think it’s a practical, comfortable, and fun way to explore the city. I’d use this service again without a second thought, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to make the most of their visit.

Our guide Carlotta, was a treasure trove of information. She shared her passion for her profession with an immense reserve of info that she doled out to us in clear language we all understood. Thank you! Hard to pick a favorite, but the Pieta moved me in a way I hadnt felt in years. I also loved the story of the 4 foundations of the church and the relics they had within. Thank you again for an amazing tour.

It was well organised. Josh met us at the designated meeting point online, sorted out the booking details and put us in the red group. Volo our tour guide was the best. He made sure we were always together as a group and his descriptions were perfect! He was very helpful and patient with our questions and gave detailed answers. Clearly he was very knowledgeable in the subject, which bade the route extreme enjoyable. Thank you Volo for a great tour.

This was our first time visiting St. Peter's Basilica, and we absolutely loved it—learning about the history of the basilica and the popes. Thanks especially to Yolanda, our guide, who explained everything very clearly and patiently. She's a truly charming young woman, and we'll definitely be back next time.
