I purchased the 3 hr hop on hop off ticket and totally regretted it.
The bus seemed to take forever to get going for a start. People fussing over things. My box where I sat to listen into the audio would not work.
Over priced for what you get. I did not stay on until the end as was fed up with the waiting at each stop.
However, seemingly the audio was pretty good, but I personally would not know. And it was good to get your bearings if you were a first time visitor to Rome

The kindness with which we were able to obtain details about this type of sightseeing tour.
What's more, the headphones we were provided with gave clear explanations of the places we visited.
Last but not least, the possibility of getting off the bus to visit the area and take another bus adds a definite added value to this type of experience.

The route through the inner city of Rome catches most of the crucial sights, and those that are not outright on the route, are easily accessible by foot. It was also possible to use the Yellow Line in addition to the Red Line as well, which was a nice bonus.

The buses don't run every 15-20 minutes. We definitely had to wait longer. Many of the audio guides for the headphones on the bus were broken. Too little information at some monuments, we would have liked more. The music was annoying. Otherwise everything worked well.

Really disappointed that the bus did not go to the far-off venues. I was able to walk to most of the short distance venues without using the bus. Why pay for the bus. Have you considered starting earlier in the day, when the weather is so hot.

There is not much positive to say about this tour, except that the buses came regularly. The places listed could not be visited at all because everything can only be reached on foot, there was a lot of garbage in the bus and some of the audio boxes did not work. All in all, a very expensive means of transportation in Rome.

Jun 2025Verified booking
Good day, On June 25 and 26, the buses were significantly overbooked. It was not possible to board the buses at any location. We were in Rome from 2pm to 9pm on both days. The guides at the locations were unfriendly and refused to let other passengers on, and queues formed. We waited up to 30 minutes for a bus at each location and then walked and took a cab at the end. I think it's bad that you don't have a limit and just keep selling tickets. I demand that you refund my money. It wasn't an experience, it was an expensive disaster. Over 70€ for two days!!! We are very disappointed and will post this. Yours sincerely, Jürgen König

Excellent and Practical – Would Take It Again!
The hop-on hop-off bus was an excellent and practical way to see Rome. It covered all the must-see spots and made getting around really easy. The Greek audio guide was a big plus – very clear and informative. This wasn’t just great for a first-time visit. I’d definitely use it again. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a flexible and comfortable way to explore the city!

The tour was nice, but some stops were not made, like Maxxi museum, it only stopped at Parco della musica, and they are not very close!!! And accessing the bus was a bit tricky, as although we had the reservation number made on screen ,the girl who greeted us at Terminal 1 ,Termini station could not connect to any online reservation and insisted that we had to have the qr-code.
She then let us on anyway and we enjoyed the day, blue and green route!!!

The tour was fantastic, the ride and views were great, and the drop off and pick up experiences were excellent. The only challenge was finding the location for the initial validation. After an extensive search, we gave up and just went to the first stop next to the Rome Termini station and they validated the ticket on the bus.

Good way to navigate where the sites are around Rome (although not stop all have views of the named landmarks.
Opened upper deck cover on a sunny day for even better views before other buses on same route.
Took us a while to identify where to pick up the bus at Termini.

It was an exciting experience. We did a full tour of Rome and managed to see most of the sights. Then we did another tour by getting off at some stops- Colosseum and Vatican!

The bus tour was interesting and well-organized, with the opportunity to discover lesser-known churches and monuments often overlooked by classic tourist routes. The explanations during the tour were clear and engaging, and allowed for a better appreciation of the history and beauty of the places visited. Only critical point: on the website a departure point from Termini Station is indicated, but it is not specified that this is only valid until 2:30 pm. In the afternoon, in fact, it is necessary to reach another stop about 300 meters away. In the summer heat, this displacement may be inconvenient. I would therefore advise the organizers to indicate more clearly on the website the exact times and actual stops to avoid inconvenience. Overall, a positive experience that I recommend, especially for those who want to get to know a less obvious Rome.

Nothing in particular. But I did dislike the route that takes an inexplicable turn wasting almost half an hour around Termini station. Waiting for a bus 6 people got off but they did not let the 4 of us who were waiting get on. Without explanation and in very bad manners the controller inside the bus prevented us from accessing.

Visited 12 years ago, had more movement at ground level, now only certain areas for viewing and photo opportunities. Upper level able to walk the most of the circle area. This is not the fault of Head out. Same controls in place who ever you book with. Palentine Hill and Forum still able to do in you own time, and this time visited on the second day as the ticket allowed us to do so, but have to visit Colosseum on the date requested by us. This was not a guided tour, and all was perfect with the purchase via Head out.

Castel Sant'Angelo offers an absolutely splendid 360° panoramic view of Rome, which made our visit very enjoyable. Nevertheless, we did encounter some difficulties with the audioguide. It seems that the tour route had been altered by the official guide, rendering the information on the audioguide obsolete. What's more, the audio recordings were not in the right order, which made following the tour rather confusing.

Although the line was long, they were very efficient and moved quickly, they had fans with water misters to cool everybody down. Security was also super efficient. The overall experience of looking around and learning about the history was such a cool experience especially after the long travel from Australia! Would definitely recommend if your into historical sites and awesome Roman history.

The tickets were sent to us by email immediately after booking. We were able to enter the Colosseum on time for our booked time slot, and despite the large number of visitors, it didn't seem overcrowded. However, it was a little disappointing that there were no audio guides - although an additional €5 was charged for this. Too bad, because a ticket cost €26.90 in total

I've been to Rome a number of times but this time was to bring the kids who are a little older now and love the history. We booked the Colusseum and the Sistine Chapel through Headout.

I purchased the 3 hr hop on hop off ticket and totally regretted it.
The bus seemed to take forever to get going for a start. People fussing over things. My box where I sat to listen into the audio would not work.
Over priced for what you get. I did not stay on until the end as was fed up with the waiting at each stop.
However, seemingly the audio was pretty good, but I personally would not know. And it was good to get your bearings if you were a first time visitor to Rome

Wow! Incredible! Visiting Castel Sant'Angelo is an incredible experience! The ticket avoided the queue at the ticket office, we went straight to the entrance, read the QRCode on our cell phone and entered. In other words, everything was smooth, safe and perfect! We love it! I thank and recommend Headout!

It was a relaxing way to see many sights and orient ourselves in such a big city. The ability to get off to explore and pick up another bus to continue was so useful. Best views are upstairs but that can be hot!!

The tour to Castel Sant'Angelo was good. It was just really warm. Signage for the route was very good in the whole venue. One small thing good for improvement. The audio tour was a bit difficult to get to be honest. Mainly since the little signs with headphones and a number did not correspond to the info in app. Maybe the app making people can make QR codes so that when you arrive at a sign you can scan that and then get the information talked to you what's appropriate for that location. And pushing it: have people choose from a short info and long indepth info version. :-) All in all..... a very much tour I would recommend to people! Enough time blocks available and easy to book.

What I liked most about the castle is that the tour was very clear and easy. To improve, the audio guide could have some historical facts in several languages to reinforce the audio guide.

I purchased the 3 hr hop on hop off ticket and totally regretted it. The bus seemed to take forever to get going for a start. People fussing over things. My box where I sat to listen into the audio would not work. Over priced for what you get. I did not stay on until the end as was fed up with the waiting at each stop. However, seemingly the audio was pretty good, but I personally would not know. And it was good to get your bearings if you were a first time visitor to Rome

Handy to have the comments on your phone. One small drawback was that it was sometimes difficult to make the link between the order indicated in the field and the order of the audio sequences on the app.

The ticket price is fine compared to other offers we saw. The only problem is that the audio guide was crazy. There was no way to follow any order. They should relocate the order of the points. Otherwise a spectacular place to visit.

We really enjoyed the bus. It's the perfect way to see the city during summer if you don't want to walk too much.
The only thing we didn't understand was the routes available. On the app there seemed to be two routes the red and the purple, we did the red and wanted to do the purple but when we asked it didn't seem to be available.

Bell'itinerario che tocca alcuni dei punti importanti del centro di Roma. L'orario del tramonto è il più bello e affascinante, soprattutto in estate con il tetto del bus all'aperto.
Ottima accoglienza del personale.
Suggerisco di inserire, al momento della prenotazione e dell'acquisto dei biglietti, la scelta dei posti sul bus, in modo da non creare caos al momento della salita.
