Great experience! - The Hop on Hop off bus was great. We did the full circuit first, listening to the commentary to get our bearings and discover which stop appealed most. Then we got off at different spots to enjoy the sights. It was very easy to find the stops to get back on the bus to get to our next destination. The waiting time was minimal as there were buses coming along frequently. We really enjoyed our day exploring beautiful Roma!

A must if travelling round Rome - We decided on getting the 3 day pass for this bus . It was money well spent as we used the bus every day sometimes twice . It operates from 830 am till about 830 depending how the last bus is running . It stops at 8 different stops with all the landmarks of Rome . On our first day we hopped on and did the full loop so we could plan our days . You are given headphones and can listen to the tour on your way round in about 10 different languages, no 2 being English . There is also a map as well . We didn’t buy from the vendors on the street , we purchased from their office which was near the first stop of the bus . It stops at every stop and it comes around about every 15 minutes , so you are never waiting for a long time . No wonder it’s voted the best tour bus . Money well spent .

We really enjoyed our day on the I Love Rome Hop on Hop Off Bus, and I think the assistant/guide, Francis, made the difference! - We had the best time with a one day pass on this bus! We had a delightful, friendly assistant/guide on the bus whose name was Francis. He was very personable and helpful, and told us the great spots to see at each stop! Francis was was a real gem and made our day on the Hop On, Hop Off bus really enjoyable! I would recommend this bus line to anyone spending time in Rome!

Mixed feelings - Whilst it was nice to relax, see the sights and have a reprieve from the heat. I didn't like the stop locations and the bus was old uncomfortable with the audio plug -in language selection in an odd location making it difficult to read the selections.

Terrible - We never got on...very difficult to find. No one knew where the bus stopped. You say go to Colleseum but we were on wrong side, then when we found it the bus took off before we got to it. We talked to other people who had the same issue. Terrible, never got on bus!
