We had a 48-hour ticket and had the impression that the other providers used more buses. We always had to wait more than 30 minutes at the bus stops. During this time, the competitors ran 1 - 2 buses more.

It was very nice but because of the very busy weekend due to the Pope's inauguration, very busy on the road. It is easy to take this bus and convenient. We were also allowed to take the yellow bus and we waited for 45 minutes. After asking a lot of times it turned out that there are only 3 yellow buses and that was not clear. Bit of a pity.

3/5

Not love - these are the reasons for my selection above (none of the check boxes quite fit. The audio did not always work on the bus - and there was about 75% of the time where it just played background music, where I was hoping for more of a narrative on what we could see. There is So Much in Rome!! It would have been nice to know what it was. Also some of the bus stops where chaotic - too many bus routes stopping at the same place with large queues for each, meant there was lots of pushing and shoving and frayed tempers.

The ease of catching the busses, the narration of facts & histroy. Wish there were more information, honestly. And the info presented for each stop--would have been nice to hear it before we got off the bus, ie Victor Emmanuel monument.

I traveled with you on a day when there were several demonstrations in Rome that caused detours and these were not communicated (this being your job you were supposed to inform yourself and inform customers). This caused several inconveniences. When I had to take the bus back to Colosseum only by chance did we realize that the line had been diverted and we had to travel a very long way to catch it at the next stop. Considering that I had chosen to take your bus so that people would not have to walk under the subway...unfortunately the choice did not turn out to be a good one. We had the same problem at the end of the route because, again due to traffic detours, the driver could not take us back to the stop where we had to leave our car in a parking lot (which we had chosen because it was adjacent to the Ludovisi stop). Because of these inconveniences we had to walk several miles with people who could not walk too far that day (including 3 children). However, I must say that the staff was very kind (both drivers and assistants).

The service was ok, but unfortunately I was refused a lift several times because the bus was full. They also refused to take me to the next stop as a standing passenger. The bus also came less frequently compared to other providers and the departures were also delayed compared to the other buses.

Chose Greenline, as the Orange line was near to our hotel. Did not realise at the time that there were only 3x orange buses running with the first not being until 11:50 am. Had I known at the time, I would of used the metro, as it wasted some of our day. Luckily though an range bus did turn up that was for a group, and they had room to take us. HOHO bus was a useful way to get around Rome and see the sights, not easy to get a seat on the top deck due to numbers. Only other issue was when waiting for a bus, other people that arrived after us got on the bus before us and there were no spaces left by the time we got to the front; the HOHO rep at the bus stop did tell pople there was a queue.

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.

The experience was very good as far as the purchase of the tickets and audio went. The Colosseum is definitely worth a visit, but the huge crowds made the viewing experience very slow and at times unpleasant. The lines for the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill were so long that we decided to not complete the tour.

Our favorite visit to Castel Sant'Angelo "**. We loved this iconic monument, which is both beautiful, well-maintained and super-convenient for visitors. Here's why we recommend it: **The big pluses:** - A **magnificent** site with a **passionate** tour - Super-practical audio-guide application** (with our own headphones) - Ticket cutting** which saved us a long wait **Conveniences that change everything :** ☕ **A nice café** with tables to sit and eat 🚻 **2 well-placed restrooms** along the tour route - super convenient! 🌇 **A breathtaking view** of Rome from the terraces **Our experience:** We spent 2 hours there, and no time went by! Between the cultural visit, the coffee break and the photos on the terraces, everything was perfect. Having accessible toilets and a place to rest really made the experience more enjoyable. *Little tip:* - Visit at the end of the day for the sunset. - Allow at least 2h30 to fully enjoy the site. - Don't hesitate to use the audio-guide (really well done) A must-see in Rome, perfectly laid out for visitors. We loved it! ★★★★★

I wanted to go in to the Pantheon at 5:15pm on 9th of April. I did not have ticket and the Line was very long. I bought the ticket in your Site and I had to go to the office to the next Street to get my entrance ticket. It was very easy and fast to buy. At 17:45 I went in to the Pantheon. I skipped the Line and stayed in more than 50 minutes. Thank you. Pölcz Ildikó from Hungary

It was a really neat building with a lot of history. I loved walking across the bridge with the Berninis sculpture, I loved seeing the museum portion that showed the different phases of how the building progressed over time. The statue of St. Angelo and the terrace were beautiful and the cafe with spritzers overlooking St. Peter's Basilica was fantastic.

The ticket purchase was very fast , very convenient from home, I wanted to print it out but didn't make it in time, I left it electronically on my phone. We arrived ahead of time , as we had been requested and have no line at the entrance, the stuart read us the electronic ticket with the portable scanner and we entered. We are from Rome, but it had been years and years since we entered Castel Sant'Angelo!!! It is a wonderful, wonderful place!!! You can palpate history with your hands! We had the audio guide who told us all the history in the various centuries and vicissitudes. It is spectacular!!! Reminiscing to the wars it went through, to the Passetto of the Popes of the Renaissance, of the rooms with the fireplaces of the Middle Ages , and then , the view of Imperial Rome from the terrace : a magnificent thing is unparalleled!!! One could see the monuments to the Unknown Soldier, the Tiber flowing under the road the majestic Bridges , the Vatican Basilicas !!! And what about the view seen from the refreshment point, from the bar: we sat down to eat something, and continued to observe Rome from above !!! Outstanding !!! Now I understand why tourists come in droves to Rome !!! These places are present are in Rome !!!

Everything, its history, the state of the castle. Going up to the terrace is highly recommended, the views of Rome and in front of the Vatican is beautiful. I recommend the digital guide because you listen to the whole story is very entertaining and very interesting.

Many people in the queue even it was an hour before start. The bus was driven way to fast, no photo stops or any possibilities to get some beautiful snapshots at night. many many construction sites, so not much to see. Better you do the hop on hop off on day and visit sights by feet at night

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.

The ease of catching the busses, the narration of facts & histroy. Wish there were more information, honestly. And the info presented for each stop--would have been nice to hear it before we got off the bus, ie Victor Emmanuel monument.

Easy jump on and jump off. A few things to improve on though: 1)Make the bus stops much more visible. The red signs are too small. 2)On the commentary the commentator should say 'on your left is' and'on your right is'. Too many times the commentator says something is there but you don't know where to look. Enjoyable all the same but these improvements would make it awesome.

What is a Hop-on Hop-off tour?

A Hop-on Hop-off tour allows you to get on and off a bus at multiple designated stops along a fixed route that goes by all must-see attractions in a city. Buses go in circles with a regular interval of ~15min at each stop, so you don't need to rush the next bus and can freely explore a city at your own pace. All tours include audio-guided commentary and offer panoramic views with open-top buses.

How to choose the best Hop-on Hop-off tour?

While all the bus operators in Rome provide a similar quality of service, ensuring a comfortable and informative experience, the key differences lie in the specific routes, cost, and additional features offered.

  • Premium experience: Big Bus, a renowned operator and the largest of open-top sightseeing bus tours globally, with over 20 years of history offers premium quality services, including the most extensive routes and top-tier commentary. Ideal for those who want the best experience at a higher price point.
  • Budget-friendly options: Local operators, I Love Rome and Green Line, offer the cheapest options. I Love Rome is slightly cheaper. Ideal for quick tours, I Love Rome offers a "1 run" ticket, while Green Line offers a "3 stops" ticket. Perfect if you plan to make just one loop without using hop-on hop-off all day.
  • Mid-range option: City Sightseeing has a Global Presence and a well-known brand with operations worldwide. It’s priced higher than local brands like I Love Rome and Green Line, making it a middle-ground option for those seeking a reasonable price.   
  • Unique routes: Green Line offers 3 different routes to explore all corners of the city, Discover Rome (Green route) to explore top sights of Rome, Destination Eataly (Orange route) to discover food and local markets and Explore Museums (Blue route) to explore museums and art galleries.

Finding the perfect Hop-on Hop-off pass duration

When choosing a Rome Hop-on Hop-off pass, it's important to compare the options to find the one that best suits your travel style and schedule.

  • The 24-hour pass is perfect if you're short on time and want to see as much as possible in a day. This option is available with all major operators including I Love Rome, Big Bus, City Sightseeing, and Green Line. It’s the most affordable option and lets you hit the highlights quickly. However, it might feel rushed if you want to explore each site thoroughly.
  • The 48-hour pass offers a better balance, giving you two days to explore the city at a more relaxed pace. Available with I Love Rome, Big Bus, City Sightseeing, and Green Line, it’s ideal if you want the flexibility to spend more time at your favorite attractions without the pressure of cramming everything into one day. The cost per day is also lower than buying two separate 24-hour passes, making it a more economical choice for those with a bit more time.
  • For a truly immersive experience, the 72-hour pass is the way to go. With three days, you can dive deep into Rome’s history, revisit spots you love, and even discover some hidden gems. This pass is offered by all major operators: I Love Rome, Big Bus, City Sightseeing, and Green Line.
  • In comparison, the 1 loop pass, only available with I Love Rome, is for those who want a quick, non-stop overview of the city, while the 3 stops pass, available exclusively with Green Line, is ideal if you only plan to visit a few key attractions, making them the 2 most affordable options. The 1 calendar day pass from City Sightseeing is similar to the 24-hour pass but limits your use to a single day, making it a good option if you start early and want to cover a lot within that day.

Each pass has its strengths, so think about how much time you have and how you would like to explore. The 24-hour or 1 loop passes are great if you're all about speed. For a more relaxed visit, the 48-hour or 72-hour passes offer more flexibility. If you’re selective about what you want to see, the 3 stops pass could be just right.

Tips to make the best of your Hop-on Hop-off Rome tour

  • Do a full loop: If you’ve got the time, we recommend taking an entire loop on the route without getting off the bus. You can get a grand overview of the city and plan your course better by doing this.
  • Rome city cards: Invest in Rome city cards like Roma Pass & Omnia Card which often include hop-on hop-off Rome passes and attraction tickets, for a more cost-effective trip.
  • Combo tickets: Like city cards, buying combo tickets adds great monetary value. You can club your hop-on hop-off pass with entry tickets to the Colosseum, Bioparco, and Borghese Gallery, or skip-the-line tickets to Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel. 
  • What to wear: Rome has many attractions that follow a strict dress code. Remember this when you plan your outfit for the day.
  • Carry minimum luggage: Hop-on hop-off Rome tours allow only small bags on a guest. So pack light and carry just the essentials.
  • Advance ticket purchase: Buy all your attraction tickets online in advance so that you don't have to waste time in queues. If they are timed tickets, make sure you factor in traffic and leave ample time to commute from the last destination on the hop-on hop-off tour.
