Before we left to Rome, I checked the reviews of this company. I must say that the reviews weren't very good. But at the hotel we decided that we take the tour. So we bought a 2 day tickets for the bus. We used the Red-Line. At first we completed the whole tour and make a lot of picturen. The... More

We were only in the city three days, and already had some tours booked. We decided to see the rest of it by "highlighting" with this tour bus. We have used this company in other cities before, and never had any trouble. My husband and I purchased a 24 hour "hop on hop off" ticket from a "representative", after walking... More

We took a one day hop on hop off ticket and did the whole circuits in about three hours. Fortunately we started early in the morning because by late morning the buses were so full there were line-ups at the stops. Not sure what happens in the peak season but my advice is to get ahead of the crowds and... More

This is the worst sight seeing company I have every used. We were a family of 3 and we only were able to use the bus 2 due to the fact that you has to wait 30 min for a bus that is full. It seems to me that they sold more tickets that what they could service. Their workers... More

25 euros for 48 hour pass. buses were meant to be every 20 minutes but were always 30 mins +. buses were always full, sometimes you were refused to board as bus was full up. particularly around Vatican area. people were moaning and queue jumping - it was like being on the school rumble bus..when questioning a female bus worker...

I will never ever use this company. I always use them in the countries that I go but Rome is an absolute joke. They sold more tickets than there were seating available. We tried to get on a bus at the Vatican City. Due to the fact that there are a few other companies using the same bus stop I... More

We booked a 2 day pass before going to Rome. We found the service excellent and the staff very helpful and friendly. This was a most efficient way of getting round the city and seeing all the sites (you get a better view from the top of a double decker bus!). I would highly recomend City Sightseeing and we have...

After our problems with the inaccuracy of the company iPhone app in Florence, I made sure to download the PDF of the bus routes for Rome but once again fell foul of incorrect information from them. We were staying near St Peters Square, so made for the nearest stop shown on their map. Problem is, there was nothing there -... More

We bought 48 hour tickets for the City Sightseeing company's Hop on, Hop off bus in Rome. We found them to be excellent value. The buses were very frequent, unlike the green buses, of which we only saw one in the four days we were in Rome. They had very pleasant, helpful members of staff at each stop, who organised... More

I thought this was the worst service for a bus tour I have ever been on! They over sold tickets so you were not guaranteed to get on the bus at a lot of stops! When you have your ticket the selling agents on the street do not care about you and bring new customers to the top of the... More
