General information on the 'hop-on, hop-off' bus tours of Italian cities.
Guided bus tours, Rome, Italy
There are two tour routes for Rome; very roughly speaking they follow similar routes for the most part, with one heading south towards the Circo Massimo and the other cutting across the middle of town to pass close to the Trevi Fountain.
The routes criss-cross and run alongside each other at multiple points, and you are free to switch from one route to the other as many times as you wish. Tickets are valid for two days and both routes, leaving you a lot of time (though there will never be enough, unfortunately!) to tick all of your must-see boxes. The accompanying audio tour is available in 8 different languages (Italian, English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Japanese and Chinese). The tours operate on a 'hop-on, hop-off' basis, meaning you may leave and subsequently rejoin the buses wherever and whenever you like! You can download a detailed route-map (PDF) here.
To get started simply click on the calendar below to select the date that interests you. The calendar will automatically block any dates that are not available, and do remember that dates are in European (day-month-year) format! Further down the page you'll find timetables for both routes, including starting times, finishing times and frequency, and don't worry - with your booking confirmation we'll be sending you full directions on how to join the tours.
