Honestly, the tour is definitely not worth the money!!! The bus was not on time, the team was incredibly rude and if you had seats downstairs, then the large windows are of no use if they are barely visible and the whole bus is fully lit!!!

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.

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.

Added perks

Most panoramic tour operators provide additional onboard amenities to elevate your experience. Free Wi-Fi, audio guides in multiple languages, and complimentary headphones are a few of the perks you will get access to with a panoramic night tour ticket.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rome night bus tours

Does the Rome night bus tour stop at major attractions?

No, the Rome night bus tours are not hop-on hop-off tours. They are non-stop panoramic tours that do not stop at any major attractions.

Can I hop off at popular attractions and resume my journey at a later time?

No, you can’t. Once you board the bus, you cannot hop off or on until the length of the journey is finished. If you want to get down and explore attractions, consider booking a hop-on hop-off tour.

What sights will I see on the Rome night bus tour?

From the Colosseum to Vatican City, from the Spanish Steps to the Roman Forum, this tour takes you past plenty of iconic landmarks in the city.

Are the Rome night bus tours wheelchair-accessible?

Yes, they are. However, we recommend getting in touch with the operator before your trip to make sure they can accommodate your needs as best as they can.

Do I need to purchase separate tickets for my kids?

Yes, you do. However, very young children can hop on for free, provided they don’t require their own seat.

Are the panoramic night bus tours in Rome suited for seniors?

Yes, these night tours are suitable for people of all ages. However, if you struggle with mobility issues or spinal issues, we advise against climbing to the top deck as it could aggravate your condition. There are plenty of comfortable seats on the lower deck that you could take instead.

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.

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!!
