*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
What travelers are saying
- Nat199Melbourne, Australia6 contributionsI love a hop on hop off bus tour as an intro to the city. This gave me that and an app to track the bus stops and buses approaching the stops. It’s a good basic tour.
It didn’t get 5 stars though because:
1. The website suggests there is a purple line which we were told is an extra 50 euro
2. There is a yellow line which isn’t on the website and I couldn’t track the buses on the app which, whilst not essential was a shame
3. They can’t control the traffic (of course) but the route actually takes a very long time due to traffic and the lines at some stops are pretty big!Written May 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The ability to get off and on when you like is so useful.
Would recommend doing.Written June 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Jim W.Atlanta, GA1,299 contributionsWe bought a Turbo Pass for our visit to Rome. This noted that it included the 'hop on / hop off bus' ticket for 48 hours. We saw large red buses labeled that way, so on our 2nd full day when we were ready to return to our hotel, we found the ticket office near a stop and went in to show them our documents. They informed us that they no longer worked with Turbo Pass (this changed annually) and that another similar bus line, IOBUS, was the one we needed. They politely directed us outside to a nearby stop. The bottom level was fully enclosed with windows; the upper deck had a roof, but did not have windows. It was fine if the weather was decent / warm.
The bus (with 3 colors, to distinguish it from the other similar companies) pulled up to the stop. We showed the conductor our papers and got a 48-hour ticket. We were also issued some cheap wired earbuds with which to plug into the in-seat audio ports. You could select a language and (theoretically) the volume. The volume controls were marginal in my case. I listened to the audio for most of our trip (around 1/3 of the loop around the city). It was okay, with some decent descriptions of the historical relevance of some sites.
We got a map also, and were thus able to find a relevant stop the next day in order to re-board the bus and get to a point reasonably close to the Pantheon. The Rome subway lines are basically a large X, and do not access a major section of the heart of the city. I can somewhat sympathize with this; how hard would it be to dig a subway tunnel here without unearthing so much historical debris that construction would get shut down? If you are adventurous, you might be able to navigate city bus routes. I assume those penetrate the areas not served well by the subway. However, the IOBUS was a good option for us during the 2 days we utilized it. If you had to pay the full price without it being included in a larger package, that might be a different proposition.
The route of this and similar buses does get you close to almost all the major sites in Rome. You may have a 5 to 10 minute walk at worst, but you can find a stop nearby. The subway only gets you this close to a few places, but is further from most others. Depending on your budget, the IOBUS may be a fair alternative to taxis or Uber. Do your research on pricing before you go.Written December 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The speaker was very easy to understand and very helpful.Written November 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- James NWinston Salem, NC34 contributionsThese buses are so crowded you can't even get on them at some of the stops. Your better off with a taxi between sites.

- Irelandmoore9 contributionsWe got the two day pass and ended up using it only for one day - definitely a good option for when it’s raining.Written October 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Linda BLa Mirada, CA4 contributionsThis tour bus is not handicap friendly. The stops are a long walking distance from the site. Too far if you have walking limitations. There are not enough stops. They do keep the line organized, so first come is first on. The commentary was staticky and hard to understand until you were past the site being discussed.Written April 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- paul w1 contributionWas sold two tickets , when we got on the bus I was then told it’s restricted tour due to an event, no offer of refund .
We drove for two hours with out seeing one famous site , actually got off & stayed off .
The worst holiday experience we have ever had .
Absolutely scammed , avoid at all costWritten May 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - dina r22 contributionsWhat a great wait to relax and see the sights of Rome under the moonlight 🌙
The audio recording was full of information and fun to listen to. The price was right, too
I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to kick back and enjoy Rome at night.Written October 14, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Vanessa W1 contributionI had an unforgettable day in Castelli Romani with my guide, Marco! I had originally booked a group tour, but the tour wasn’t available for the day I had selected, so Marco offered me a private tour instead for no additional cost! I was beyond impressed with the level of customer service and professionalism of this company.
Marco is so friendly and knowledgeable, and made sure I saw both the highlights and hidden treasures of the area. He tailored the entire experience to my interests and always made sure I was having a great time. Don’t hesitate for a second to book this tour!! I’d give ten stars if I could!Written February 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We did not know they are a small bus line. Never saw one of their busses moving around Rome. Not once. Many busses from other bigger companies came and went but nothing from Green-Line. Their online app showed busses but they never moved their locations on the so called tracking map. Buy your tickets with a bigger bus line and forget Green-Line.Written February 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
