Absolutely the worst Hop...
Joan_C
, Aug 2022
Absolutely the worst Hop On and Off tour I have taken in many years of travel in many different countries. Book with another group!! This was short, little information provided and the staff was very rude!!!! At one point we sat for over 30 minutes in the sun on a very hot day!! Not acceptable

Dear Joan_C, We are sorry for your unpleasant experience. In compliance with some municipal decrees the buses can't arrive inside some areas, but only get as close as possible. These rules are valid for everyone, so all tourist buses do the same route. For what concern the commentary, large investments will be made to upgrade the content of our audio guide (which only in our buses is available in 13 languages). Unfortunately, in this covid period, very difficult for tourism, we had other priorities. But we would like to understand better what was happened. We don't understand what it means that the bus stopped 30 minutes in the sun, if you want to explain us what was happened, also about our staff appelling as rude; please write us at openbus@graylinerome.it. We will find a solution together. Best Regards I Love Rome Hop On Hop Off City Tour

Hot, crowded, and alot of waiting at the stops...
Heather_G
, Jul 2022
It was incredibly hot. We waited for quite some time at the stops to board the bus. Every stop was patrolled by no less than a half-dozen people selling waters, chargers, fans, etc. The bus was crowded and hot no matter whether you sat above/below. I will say, it took us past several points of interest that I had thought we wanted to spend some time visiting, but quickly realized they weren't that important after the bus drive-by. Maybe this is a better option when the weather is cooler, but it certainly wasn't worth the investment in July... It was just all around uncomfortable.

Dear Heather, thank you for your opinion. We are sorry for your unpleasant experience but what you told isn't up to us.. If you choose to come in Rome in July the weather is very hot, in this year especially hot, as in the rest of Europe. The sellers at the stops are indipendent and they aren't our employees; they sell what you could need depending on the season. Finally the bus is an open bus so it might be hot. We wait for you next time in October :-) Best Regards I Love Rome Hop On Hop Off City Tour

Dear William, thank you for your review. We are sorry for your unpleasant experience.

Too slow, crowded, hot with very little audio description. Better using public transport.
Nicholas_I
, Jul 2022
Very hot. First bus the roof was broken, so there was no shade. The airconditioning downstairs with not effective. Bus was overcrowded. To be fair to the bus company, it was during a heatwave. I certainly would not recommend going when it is hot or very cold. The audio description was dreadful. Long periods of (very annoying ) music and very little talking. With so much history in Rome, it does seem bizarre to have so little information. Also, the map is useless (also very hard to find). TIP: all the buses appear to stop at the same stops, so if you have the misfortune of using this Hop on Hop off service, use another company's map.

Dear Nicholas, we appreciate your opinion, thanks for leaving it. We are sorry for your unpleasant experience with the overcrowding of these days. Fortunately a lot of people choose I Love Rome and in periods of greater turnout, long lines can be created at bus stops. For what concern the commentary, large investments will be made to upgrade the content of our audio guide (which only in our buses is available in 13 languages). Unfortunately, in this covid period, very difficult for tourism, we had other priorities. Finally the map are all provided with QR code near the name of the bus stops, with the geolacation on Google Maps so it's not so difficult to find them.

Always book this Hop on Hop off whenever we're in town. 3rd time and still great. Runs on time. Are some of the stops not directly in front of archaeological sites? Yes.. can you get there in less than a 3-minute walk? Yes Definitely worth it. We always go one full trip first then we decide where we're going to get off to sightsee.

They simply sold too many tickets and didn't have enough buses running. Queues were horrendous to get on the bus. If I hadn't have bought the tickets in advance through Viator we would not have done this tour with Grayline.

Very useful add on to our...
Sue_M
, May 2022
Very useful add on to our Rome experience and money well spent. I purchased the 3 day pass, 2 days would have been perfect for us as we just explored on foot the 3rd day. Finding the bus stop when you arrive is possibly the most difficult part, if you google search stop locations and use google maps its easy enough to find. Once you've done the 90 minute bus loop you can familiarise yourself with the different areas. Be aware that most stops are approx 10 / 15 minute walk from the actual area your heading to. This is understandable as side roads are very narrow and cobbled. Commentry is OK but doesn't sync with the location being described. Be aware that most stops don't have any seating or shade while waiting so its gets very hot after a long day on your feet. Staff were polite and helpful, we never waited longer than 15 minutes for a bus and got a seat up or down. Overall I have no complaints and it definately complimented our Roma experience. I

Good city overview. Poor instructions provided.
Odettelynn_M
, May 2022
Loved getting a quick overview of Rome. However, additional instructions are needed to actually find the bus stop. The tour instructions said to exchange our vouchers for tickets at the stand at the Termini. The cashier said to just give the voucher to the bus driver. Then was told to stand at the bus stop for the bus- just next to the statue about 200 feet away. Come to find out, the bus boarded across the street about a 1.5 blocks away. Very inconvenient for disabled such as we are.
