Very good, easy to find, plenty of friendly staff, a guided tour with an audio guide that was simple and effective—we have two children, ages 8 and 15, and all four of us enjoyed the bus tour. We recommend it.

Step into Rome’s historic streets with this feature-packed 3-hour or 24/48/72-hour hop-on hop-off tour boasting the city’s largest fleet, widest routes, and minimal wait times.

Buses arrive every 8-10 minutes, and the Red Route takes you to eight stops where you can hop on and hop off unlimited times.

Discover Rome beyond the bus with 4 self-guided walking tours of the Vatican, Roman Forum, Colosseum, and Barberini.

Have a comfortable ride with free Wi-Fi, route maps, and an audio guide in 8 languages available onboard.

Hit popular stops along your route like the Colosseum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and more.

The drivers did a great job navigating the heavy traffic and still managed to move along at a fairly brisk pace. This allowed us to see a lot of the city. The audio guide was also very good and engaging. As a result, we learned a lot about the city and its history in a relatively short amount of time.

The tour was wonderful, and it was great to be able to hop on and off at Rome’s most interesting spots. We took full advantage of it all day, visiting various attractions of our choice. The commentary and explanations provided along the way were also interesting.

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.

The route lets you see Rome's main monuments (and there are plenty of them!) in a comfortable and very convenient way. Plus, the bus ride covers you and protects you from the strong sun these days. It's a highly recommended tour, especially the 24-hour one. Congratulations!
