I appreciated being provided with a headset and map for the bus. What was annoying was that there was complimentary wifi and it didn't work in many of the buses. A lot of the buses the jack for the earphone was broken and if the bus was busy with no free seats you missed out on the commentary.

As for the bus, it was perfect. Once the ticket is printed by the person on the platform, you can ride it all day long. As for the Colosseum, the website didn't list the correct entrance.

The bus tour was great—it’s really a great idea, and the many stops that let you visit the different monuments are really nice. From booking tickets online to boarding the bus, the whole process is very convenient and quick. I highly recommend it.

It was a memorable experience—being able to get on and off whenever we wanted was amazing and easy. We set aside 48 hours for the trip so we wouldn't be in a rush. And we got to see practically all of Rome's beautiful landmarks. Definitely worth doing.
