Best way to explore - Best way to explore Rome and all its treasures. Bus intervals are roughly 10/20mins between each stop. I would highly recommend you do this the first day your in Rome, as it will help you get your barings. It's very cheap, for the both of us it was €34. The bus commentary was very good, enthusiastic and headphones were provided.

Bus tour - Nice tour around Rome - only annoying thing is that the bus stopped for quite long times at some of the stops.. waiting outside the train station for ten minutes and then another ten minutes at the coliseum

Rome sights in a day. - On the whole a very good experience, The on board commentary was good and clear. We were slightly disappointed having to wait nearly an hour at one of the stops after a bus was unloaded here and taken out of service due to mechanical issues this is the only reason i dropped them a point.

After a long day it is OK - There's a lot of competition for open bus tours in Rome, this one was advertised in a less pushy manner and with tickets online which is why we chose it. My friend and I chose the one trip around after a long day of walking. This was through TripAdvisor, the tour lasts just under 2hrs I think from memory. The bus stops are slightly out of sync as they are online but we were in the general area so able to find them OK. The tour itself is audio through headphones they give you and informative, though there are a lot of stops which are a few minutes long each time. After a long day it was good but I don't know how I would feel about that at the start of my day. I enjoyed it at the time but wouldn't do it again. With that said I do not regret taking this bus and would recommend, I just don't know how the other buses do it and would be curious.
