What To Expect

Climb aboard one of the open-air double-decker buses for an unforgettable introduction to Naples on a hop-on hop-off tour.

There are three routes to discover — Line A (The Art Tour), Line B (Naples Bay), and Line C (San Martino) — with 32 strategically placed stops in total between them. An entire loop on any one route takes about 75 minutes, and all three tours stop at Piazza Municipio, so it’s easy to switch from one to the other.

Tickets are valid for 24 hours starting with the first use, and you can get on and off the bus as many times as you like during that period. Listen to interesting commentary about the city’s history and the things you’re seeing along the way. Explore Naples at your own pace.

Not great
Amy_T, Dec 2022
This tour could use some history of Naples. It also could use some more Oblivious signage. The map is hard to read and the highlights of each stop aren’t clear. There could be some explanation of must sees. The stops were in rough and non-safe areas. No one got off as there was no guidance where to go or what to see. The buses were too infrequent. The two routes were nice but I didn’t learn much from the tour. Positives Not crowded in December. Seatbelts (necessary). Nice scenery

Naples Hop on Hop Off….NO!
adelinetravels, Oct 2022
No information on where to get the bus. Walked a long way to the starting point. Stops were not marked by signs. Told ON THE BUS at the end of the ride that we could have joined near the port. Again, no sign. Quality of the sound in the ear buds very poor. We do not recommend. Do not recommend touring Naples. Go to Capri, Sorrento or the Amalfi coast.

Hi, we are sorry to read about your experience. Our stops, in addition to being marked on the spot, are available on our online map downloadable from our official website. It is also possible to see the position of the buses on the route through our official free app.
Got Lost Trying to Find to HOHO Bus
Jmachold, Oct 2022
I was trying to get an overview of Naples from my cruise ship last week. Unfortunately, Naples is not the friendliest or cleanest city. I could not find where the hop on hop off bus was located. I walked on an injured foot for over an hour trying to find the stop. There was no Wi-Fi available so I could not call or get a map of the locations. Very, very frustrating. The description of the tour said that we would get some kind of app that would show us where we were when on the bus. That was not the case; we were handed a paper map. And a headset for some automated speaking which I couldn’t hear or understand. Save your money and hire a cab and driver for a few hours if you want to get any experience at all. I was very disappointed.

Jeffrey_p, Sep 2022
The service provided two options around Napoli. The second one which is around the bay was superior with wonderful views of the coastline. I believe the experience was worth it. The central portion lasted 50 minutes; the coastal was over an hour.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience, we are happy that you enjoyed our offer and that you were able to see the wonderful landscapes of the Neapolitan coast!
Informative
Rosa_B, Aug 2022
We got to see and learn about sites in the city that would have not seen otherwise. The bus attendants were helpful and attentive

Javiera_R, Aug 2022
The only problem was that we had to wait in line for the buses in the sun, no shade and it as really hot. But the overall experience was excellent.

Disappointing Compared to Similar Tours in Other Cities
josettepkearney, Aug 2022
We did this tour as a family, there wasn't as much information given as these tours in other cities. The staff wasn't very friendly. Overall I wouldn't do this tour again.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Hi, thanks for your feedback. Your comment will help us improve our service.
Crowded and hot
Madeleine_F, Jul 2022
The organisation for getting onto the buses was terrible, long lines and we waited for half an hour. Once on the bus, the staff were not very polite and even though it is advertised as hop on hop off, most people do not do this, so if you do, you then have to wait until a bus with places available comes along. Honestly, it was not really worth it, and we saw much more with the walking tours.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Hi, sorry about your bad review. Fortunately, many tourists are returning to discover the artistic beauties of Italy so our passengers have also increased. The training of our staff is one of our priorities so thanks to your comment we will investigate to understand what happened.
Should be called GHOST BUS.
Dennis_T, Jul 2022
We never saw a bus. We had planned to use this service to see and learn about Naples. We left the ship and went out in search of a pick up location. The port area is complete bedlam. We searched for about 30 minutes for some sort of marking for a pick up space. We finally just gave up and hired a taxi cab to various points of interest. All places we visited were spots on the bus loop. We thought we would possibly see pick up locations at those points of interest, but never saw. Even driving around Naples, never saw a bus. We never used this service and wish we could get our money refunded.

Nothing in Naples
crow, Jul 2022
Hop on Hop off - this tour lacks - everything. Literally road around on the bus - no information or education - very unlike other tours we have had prior to our visit to Italy. But Italy's tours so far are not engaging and are limited. Would recommend selecting a different tour option.

Naples by hop on hop off bus
Linda_C, Jun 2022
There were 2 hop on routes blue and red. We did both and the blue route was the best by far, took you to the peaks of Naples looking over the sea, countryside and Vesuvius. The Red route took you around the old part of the city and was shorter. Very easy to pick up turn left out of the cruise terminal in front of the castle, there is a bus stop and a sign on it saying sight seeing your.

Naples is Not wheelchair friendly
Sandra_M, Jun 2022
I could not even reach the bus to get on it as I am in a wheelchair and Naples is Not wheelchair friendly so could not get to the bus stop. I have requested a refund and hopefully my money will be returned
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Hi, we are sorry for your negative experience but it does not depend on our service because the City Sightseeing Italy buses are equipped with wheelchair access.

Along the coast
John_C, May 2022
Take the “B” route; it takes you along the coast line. Some great views to be had along with several eating places should you jump off at stop #4 or #9.

Hi, thank you for sharing your experience. We are happy that our tour met your expectations, and your tips will certainly be useful to our future travelers!
Rather underwhelming.
Jill_L, May 2022
We opted for Route A around Naples because it promised to take us up to Capodimonte. Unfortunately the circuit has been severely shortened and the new route taken could have been walked fairly easily! It did not take in Capodimonte as promised. We ended up buying a day ticket for metro/bus/funicular from a tobacconist - under €5- and did our own hop on hop off!

Naples is a large spread out City. This tour with its 2 very different routes gives one a good perspective of the City. It allows one to identify areas of interest for further visits.
