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").

Rubbish - have used hop on hop off in the past and found them excellent. This did not live up, commentary was rudimentary and didnt match up with locations. Also husband had much difficulty with his headphones so missed commentary whilst changing seats repeatedly to get them to work.

+ The bus driver catched us up just after the stop we didn't find first. The Ticket online doesn't work to transfare in the App! After 40 min and 6 link to register I gave up. -- The Bus B Tour couldn't take us because full. the next Bus B stopded after 1 Station and told us to wait for 1 hour for the next bus. We got angry because we waited mostly instead of driving arround and hop on and off. we would not pay 40.-€ to wait mostly! we do not recommand this tour!

Because it rained on the day of the reservation, we stayed inside the bus. The windows were covered with a sun protection net and nothing could be seen outside.

The sound on the bus was really bad although in English it could was low in volume and when you raised it it was distorted

The bus drove once around the city center and that was all. All points are within walking distance and the experience is much nicer and more interesting. We could have saved ourselves the €40.

I did not love any of it. The buses were not frequent enough for the amount of people. The audio info was very poor on Route A and did not work at all on Route B. The staff were not friendly or happy.
