Worth It - Great experience with get on get off bus, Carla the hostess and Cinghiale both very nice and kind. If you visit try the IOBUS ROMA

It wasn’t horrible but... - It wasn’t horrible but the stops were hard to find and quite the distance from the actual sites. Maybe I was cranky because it was so hot!

Hard work finding the bus stop! - We did the after 2pm circuit of Rome. We wanted to get on the bus at the Colosseum stop as that was close to our hotel but it was impossible to find the IOBUS bus stop - it was actually several hundred metres down the road from the Colosseum and more specific directions on the IOBUS are needed. Once we got on board, we found seats upstairs and wanted to listen to the audio guide - but both headphone jacks on our seats were broken. The tour itself visits all the sites, but without the audio guide we were not always sure what monuments we were passing by. And the terrible traffic meant that progress was very slow. Our plan was to complete the circuit and get off at the Colosseum again - but when the bus got to stop number 1 we were told everyone had to get off and wait for the next bus if we wanted to continue. So we just walked back to the Colosseum. Overall, not one of the best city bus tours we've experienced.

Seems like a good idea until it’s not - Buses are always full and it’s cheaper and more convenient to take the public bus. The bus stops aren’t that convenient you still have to walk a lot. I didn’t think it was worth it!

Pick a less crowded line - Seems to be the most crowded bus. While every other bus line looked like it had space, it bus was always packed to the brim, standing room only. Wish we bought a different line.

A mess! DO NOT HIRE - I put 1 star because there's no chance of 0. They take half an hour to arrive, the employees are all impolite, not only do they not greet politely as they should be, but when claiming the delay they shrug their shoulders making a bad face. On one of the microphones, the audio wasn't working. In another, the audio was out of step with respect to where we passed. DON'T HIRE THEM! THERE ARE MANY OTHERS TO CHOOSE FROM!!

Don’t recommend, avoid this. - The buses were few and far between, and they don’t have posted start / end times. The other hop on hop off buses came 2-3 times before ours did. And one morning the busy passed twice without stopping. Would not recommend. We paid cash otherwise I’d be trying to get a refund. Waste of money and time.

Do not use this company - worst ever - The absolutely worst tour I have ever done. The operators are worse than Rome taxi drivers in relieving you of money. Apparently the Colosseum and Parthenon do not warrant commentary Tickets are oversold for the given capacity. Many people spent the tour standing in an unsteady moving bus. Do yourself a favour and pay a bit more to get a lot more with another operator.

of crooks - I was sold tickets for 3 days and the last day the buses didn't work. a lot of waiting to see a bus arrive, a lot of queue to get on the bus, you won't get on every time, you see 6 or 7 of the red or green company pass before you have an IOBUS, don't expect to have a seat at the top, unless you are a fighter, and at the bottom you won't see anything, to avoid, choose instead the red or green company and if you are fit you can do the same on foot. much too expensive for what it is.

Awful - Useless, waste of money (still waiting for promised partial refund over a month later). 40 minute wait for a bus, first one full. Then next one arrives and we were last two on to it. No seats. Standing room on lower deck only so couldn't see a thing. Then squeezed onto upper deck for one stop and got off. Watched many other tour buses come and go with plenty of space which added to the frustration. One man sat on a wet seat and got no sympathy. Staff tough nosed. Info guide rubbish, mostly music and if it did describe a site we had already gone past it. Tried to use a bus later on and gave up, as queue was huge (see picture) and a bus had just left! €55 for two is a rip off. Go use another company as this lot are selling a big story and delivering rubbish - obviously business model is to oversell tickets and minimise provision of buses!
