Absolute waste of time. on the first day we waited an hour for the bus and on the second day ,a Sunday we waited and waited with a group of other uses only... more

Horrible waste of money. Limited areas where you can hop on and off. Waited 35 minutes or longer for a bus and then it passed me right by, even after I waved him down. I waited another 30 minutes because the next place to take the bus was not within walking distance. I reported the incident and they did nothing.... more

We booked this for 2 days thinking we could get a nice overview of Rome. Fugetaboudit. Traffic makes getting around by bus impossible but to make it worse, the tour's route seems to take you in circles and wastes far too much time. We used the bus twice, to get from the Coliseum to the Vatican and back, took about... more

We were in Rome in early October with a group of 18 school students. For ease of navigation we bought a 2 day pass on the Rome Open Tour bus. It was terrible. Most of the headphone sockets for the narration were faulty, and the advertised 15 minute frequency was more like 45 minutes to an hour between buses. A... more

We bought a 24hr pass for 19 Euros. There are two routes but 80% of the two routes travel the same roads except in opposite directions. The bus has a recorded program in multiple languages. I find this to be better than those annoying speakers on some of this hop on/off tours. The traffic in Rome can be horrific. It... more

booked the Hop on Hop of bus before going to Rome but found on the day booked to used the bus the service was only running until 1pm and there would be no service on the following day due to planned events on both days. The company used was Viatour who should have known about theses events in advance and... more

There are several Hop-on Hop-off buses in Rome (110, Ciao Roma, Open City, etc.) We chose Ciao Roma because it stopped near our hotel. 19 Euros, but 15 Euros after 1:30pm. Poor tour - lots of waiting at stops; map route not 100% accurate; new time schedule, different than printed; plug recepticle for head set broken. Recorded tour poor -... more

We booked a Rome City Tour Hop On Hop Off bus tour through Viator. We have done the Hop on Hop off tours in other cities and loved them, but this one was a total waste. The earphones jacks did not work in several of the seats we tried, music played most of the trip around Rome, and what commentary... more

All of the Rome tour bus hop-on-off are a waste of money and time, especially if you have limited time. The cost is outrageous. the lines are long. the busses are off route most of the time. The busses are behind schedule and over-full. You will wait and lose precious time. Especially 1 day visitors. For the same price of... more
