Great tour for us , we started at 9am though from the termini . Had front seats and went all the way round which takes an hr or so , we then went back round to to the Vatican b4 getting off . Did get a bit busy in the afternoon we saw but didn’t bother us . We did this in March as well , not sure it would be the same storey in warmer months.

We had a 3 day pass to hop and off, it worth the extra money. There is a lot to see in Rome and the bus is an excellent way to travel around the city

The trip was well rounded and the ability to hop on and off was amazing to visit the places for a bit while and then continue the route.

Nice and polite people On time Nice route to see the most important of Rome When yiu gave only 3-4 hours.

Very fun and informational without the hassle of having to walk to each place individually.
