Added perks

How to choose the right night tour for you

Both Big Bus and City Sightseeing offer premium services, cover important landmarks, and provide additional perks to elevate your night tour experience. However, here are some factors you should consider before deciding on the right panoramic night tour for you.

  • Budget: If you’re traveling on a strict budget, a single euro could make a big difference to your choice of tour. While Big Bus and City Sightseeing both offer similarly priced passes, the City Sightseeing Rome Night Tour is the more affordable option for travelers on a budget.
  • Accessibility: Both Big Bus and City Sightseeing buses are wheelchair and pram/stroller accessible. We recommend contacting the operators a few days before your trip so they can accommodate your needs better.
  • Family ticket: If you’re traveling with your children, consider getting the Big Bus Rome night tour family ticket, which is valid for use by two adults and two children.
  • Audio guide languages: Big Bus Rome night tours offer audio guides in 7 languages, while the City Sightseeing tours offer 8 languages. Check out the list of languages offered by both operators and pick the one best suited to your needs.

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!!

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.

The bus system made it easy to know where to get off to see what we wanted to see and when to stay on. We also got help figuring out where to get off and how far we needed to walk in order to see things off route. It was easy to know where to wait to rejoin the bus tour, as well. Very well worth the money.
