Traveler reviews
Very Disappointing Experience
Very poor guidance on and off the bus. Employees of City Sightseeing Rome were only interested in selling tickets. As I already had tickets they were unwilling and of no help at all. There was also a big language barrier, very little English, or Italian. Will use other local tour operators in future. Very disappointing,
It’s just a bus ride from...
It’s just a bus ride from place to place as it says hop on hop off, take a seat on tap Joy the air enjoy the ride
WASTE OF MONEY
Don’t waste your money! Key stops closed, buses told every 10 mins but we waited nearly an hour twice, bus stops have no shade or seating. Audio was terrible and content was awful. Paid and waited for yellow route bus and never came was told by operator don’t wait it not coming. ABSOLUTELY better off paying an uber or taxi
City sightseeing Rome is not worth it
Extremely long stops at the bus stops. Explanations are poor. Poor sound quality, little explanation in poor translation. Annoying music in between. Stops are hard to find.
Interesting
Get on and off whenever you want at one of the route stops throughout the day, the audio guide explaining the monuments and buildings you encounter is nice
