    Always a great way to see the sights. We rode the red loop, getting on near our hotel, and actually stayed on for an extra 1/2 loop so we could get off at the shopping area near Teatro Massimo. The app was helpful and accurately showed the location and arrival of the bus. The commentary was generally interesting (to me, anyway!) and helped me appreciate some of the area's history. Glad we did it and highly recommend it.

    The bus schedules were unclear and it made several stops without warning. We were not able to make the complete tour. The bus was not air conditioned and the heat was unbearable for the children.

    It was almost impossible to find stops after booking online. No info, no link, nothing about it. Very poor service (booked via something called "Headout").
