Red Route
The experience was ok. The stops were all far away from our end destinations. The headphones were extremely cheap and didn't stay in our ears. Additionally, the bus would start causing a 10 minute delay. Also, the high number of people asking us to do a bus tour when we pre-booked was extremely annoying.
Easy jump on and jump off. A few things to improve on though: 1)Make the bus stops much more visible. The red signs are too small. 2)On the commentary the commentator should say 'on your left is' and'on your right is'. Too many times the commentator says something is there but you don't know where to look. Enjoyable all the same but these improvements would make it awesome.
A really great way to view Rome. The ability to get on and off to visit different sights is really helpful you can choose how long you spend on there and where you get on and off.
The tour itself was nice, but it was problematic to find some of the stops. The stops were quite chaotic and crowded, it wasn't clear in which bus to go. That is probably due to the fact that the stops are for all the bus companies. Sometimes the stops weren't matching the stops indicated in the recommended app.
The bus is a good experience, explanations understandable and clear, the attendants on board and at each stop very kind.

Muy buena, buena frecuencia de los autobuses, conducen con precaución , tomamos la ruta roja y sus paradas nos permitieron conocer los lugares que queríamos conocer, totalmente recomendable para descansar de las calles de roma
From the street vendors selling your service to the people working on the bus - everyone was friendly and very helpful!
The route followed is very useful, it takes you close to the most popular tourist spots (this being Rome, it is obvious that it cannot leave you in front of the Trevi Fountain, you have to walk a bit). The only downside is the malfunctioning of some of the guides, on the bus we had to change seats several times to hear it.

I really did LOVe it. The frequency of this service was less than competitors. The distances from the stop and the major attraction was excessive and the drop off point on the night tour was no where near the agreed one ( pick up spot) Other companies seemed to travel much closer to the Vatican for example.
Excellent frequency and speed of buses. The proposed stops are perfect for seeing the most important monuments and attractions

It was quite an interesting trip around Rome. But it was impossible to find the meeting point and nobody was informed adequately in order to help us. Also, there was no map available or a schedule so as to prepare our trip.
The Sight seeing bus was fantastic. We got the 72 hour pass that included free night bus. It cost very little more than the 24 hour ticket. We used it several times a day. Never waited more than 5 minutes for a bus and could always get a seat on open top upper floor. The buses are really popular and so they are very packed and they are slow as traffic in Rome is crazy. However we found them a nice break to sit down and relax between sights. Especially good for my nearly 70 mum to take a break but still be seeing all the sights of Rome.
It was an awesome experience visiting the tourist attractions from the height of the double decker and taking pictures without obstacles.
Finding the meeting spot was very stressful after walking through the entire termini station and construction happening. I had to ask someone handing out flyers.
The HOHO Bus, City Sightseeing in Rome was wonderful. We purchased a 24-hour tour for 19-20 of June. It was very hot outdoors, but very convenient inside the lower deck and amazing upstairs. We appreciate the friendly staff, the route a lot. The only drawback was the fact that the last bus from Termini is at 19.00. Too early, especially for summer. All in all, I will recommend undoubtedly! Attached - view from upstairs.
We purchased 8 tickets valid for the day 25/05/2024 but on that day there were several events in Rome and 3 stops (the main ones) after 2:30 pm were closed so we could not use this service in full.

Really good service. Very useful for visiting the main monuments in Rome, especially for those who, like us, were short on time. Too bad that on the first bus we got on, the audio guides were not working.

Terrific service, don't know why I've always resisted this type of transport. Ideal. Quick, clean, safe and convenient visited all the spots. Jumping on and off when it suited was great. All your staff along the route were super helpful Will use you again.
Punctuality and frequency of buses despite the traffic in Rome, allowed us to visit the city partly on foot and partly enjoying the view from above

Great access to most of the key areas of the historical city. The audio technology worked very well. I felt the audio guide could have included more information about general Roman history as about 50% of it is music.
Easy to book via the app, giving full information on start point, sites visited etc. The ride itself was great, clearly marked buses, helpful staff.
It was my birthday that day and I thought it was very fitting to take a tour of Roma. I got from Barberini to the Vatican and then got off. It was a great experience.

It was easy to get the voucher online and then change it to a ticket at the bus. As always the bus ride around to see everything first and then going to the stops we wanted works well.
Por mi error reservé para 27 marzo cuando debió ser 27 abril. Acabo de recibir respuesta al correo que puse solicitando cambio de fecha. Me han ofrecido hacer lo posible para corregir mi error y hacer válido el ticket para abril. Dejo claro que sin importar si hacen válida mi compra, FUE MI ERROR
I have used these buses in other cities and you get a lot closer to attractions then here. Audio was not working or had issues with sound in many seats.
