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.
