Fascinating - Fantastic experience, guided bus tour of all Rome. If you come to Rome, you'll forget it! The stewardess Carla and the driver Boar are worth the ticket price

Don't buy! Avoid this company! - Don't buy! Avoid this company! They don't keep to schedules. They don't have enough buses. We waited more than 1 hour for the bus, while in the same time 4 buses from other companies passed by.

Terrible service - This tour company didn’t seem too reliable and were more interested in taking your payment than providing service. The buses were so infrequent with a wait time more than 30 minutes in some cases and they closed earlier than advertised. Their customer service left a lot to be desired.

The worst hop on tourist bus in Rome - By far the worst experience you can get. Extremely late in a way that is much faster to go anywhere on foot rather than with this service.

Dismal experience with IOBUS - We travelled to Rome on the Constitution Bridge and with the Roma Pass we hired we were offered the possibility of choosing between public transport or IOBUS. We thought IOBUS was a better idea because, we were told, they passed every 15 minutes or so at each stop. They gave us some passes to get on the bus and a plan of the tour. However it was very bad experience. On Friday the 6th we wanted to get on IOBUS and we had to wait, together with more users, at the stop of the coliseum more than an hour until it finally appeared. The girl on the bus told us that stops 2 and 4 were going to be canceled. However, we were not told anything in the office. So to get on the bus, you had to walk around more looking for other stops. On Sunday the eighth we waited almost 40 minutes at stop 6, in the place shown on the plan, and the bus did not appear. Then when we went to TourStation to ask for explanations, we found out they had moved that stop. Nobody told us about this at any point when we hired him. TourStation told us that the IOBUS was not their responsibility even though the Roma Pass that includes it was purchased there. We weren't given the possibility to write any claim sheets or anything like that either. The girl took note and told us that she was going to report everything to her manager, but at the time she offered us no solution or compensation. Later, a few hours later, when we were already returning to the accommodation because it had darkened, rained and was quite cold, we were called to offer some visits to compensate us, but it was no longer good for us. In short, if we came to know, we would have chosen the public transport option. The experience with lousy IOBUS. However, the visits we made with the Roma Pass card were very good.

TERRIBLE hop on/hop off Bus company - Would NOT recommend. Staff on all buses were rude. We waited 1 hour for the bus at the Vatican City stop. No.apology or explanation. Because of the delay we missed seeing the last attraction (stop). Hardly any of the audio machines were working or were in english on one of the buses. Very Poor, use.pn of.the other companies as there were plenty and came often.

It's a scam. - Just no. Bought a ticket from one of the IObus bandits by Colosseum. Waited 45 minutes as the other lines buses came and went. After googling IObus I found that they had closed on Sundays. Don't know what is worse. The 26 euro you pay per person or the spending of your limited time at a bus stop. This is a scam. Stay away.

DONT USE THIS HOP OFF HOP ON BUS WHEN IN ROME - Was taking a tour with friends who have 2 small children. Took the bus from Roma Termini and we were allowed to carry inside the bus the baby stroller and 1 hand carry luggage on board. When we reached Colosseum, we decided to go down to take some photos and stayed for a few hours admiring the said place. When it was time for us to continue the tour, we waited for the next bus at the bus stop of Colosseum. Upon boarding the bus, we were told that we cannot get in since we were carrying a small hand carried luggage. The lady staff was so stubborn that she was trying to push us out of the bus. She even threatened us to call the police and we told her go ahead. We insisted on our right and we told the lady staff that the staff on the first bus should have told us ahead of time so that we’re aware of it and we could have done something. We tried to get her name but she refused to give it to us. This incident spoiled our day totally.
