What to expect when taking the Open Tour Bus: What I really like is that they always update special circumstances that cause major traffic or temporary suspension of the bus service (they call it the Latest News) on their website. You immediately know what’s happening! Note: the route changes on weekends (starting Saturday at 2.00PM) and holidays so you might want to check-out before booking.

Sundays may be a good time to take the Archeobus tour since it will let you out on the Via Appia where it is really peasant to take a stroll and the roads are not over-crowded with noisy cars.[/tab]

The buses have accessibility for people with handicaps.

What you can expect when taking the Archeobus hop/on hop off tour bus:

During high season (May thru September), especially October, these buses can get very crowded. Often tickets are sold out and you’ll have to wait to go on another day. During high season you may be better off buying your tickets online in advance to guarantee you will be able to get on the tour for your desired day. Strikes or demonstrations are very normal in Italy and especially on Fridays during the summer.  Tickets are not refundable although they do promise to make up for cancelled tours on alternative dates. I would advise not to take bus tours on Fridays beginning May thru September because of these strikes. Traffic in Rome gets even worse! Do not count on punctuality of the buses either, traffic in Rome is very heavy and accidents happen daily which can create a delay’s! What you need in Rome is patience and time…

If you’re looking for an alternative to the Archeobus consider catching the city bus Nr. 118 near the Piramide Metro stop or the Circo Massimo Metro stop. By going on the official ATAC website you’ll get more detailed map showing the stops if you type 118 in the box marked route!  The bus Nr.660 could also be interesting…[/tab][end_tabset]

Open top sightseeing Rome – Hop on hop off bus Rome Tour buses in Rome.
A fabulous way to see this incredible city for the first time!

In Rome we have 7 open roof – hop on hop off – tour bus companies. Which one to choose is not always easy to say, it depends mostly on your interests and how much time you have available. For example the Roma Christina bus tour is more specialized with pilgrims; Roma Cristiana is part of the Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi which is overseen by the Vatican. They also offer deals which include public transportation tickets.

Generally, buses can’t get into small roads, especially in the old city center. This is why you always have to consider that you will walk a lot even though you’re talking the hop on hop off bus! Every bus tour will tell you how often it runs but it is always subject to the traffic in Rome.

During the summer months it gets very hot and the double decker buses do not have sun protection on the roof, neither do the bus stops where you have to wait, so it is always a good idea to have sun screen with you. Having a water bottle isn’t a bad idea either but near most stops you’ll be able to find food and snacks stands!

If you are traveling with children then it’s worth having a closer look at the kid’s prices and up to what age you get discounts. The Roma Cristiana Open bus tour gives you the best deal considering that kids under 10 go for free. Take some time before you start to hop-on and off, write down your needs on a piece of paper and start comparing one by one.

Check each website separately because many open hop on-hop off bus tours offer special deals and discounts, especially during summer! When you’re around Termini train station, many ticket vendors will stop you so it is good if you know what you are looking for in advance so you know if you are getting the bus tour you want!

Please ask before: if the tickets you are getting are valid for calendar days or from the first validation!

City Sightseeing Rome Bus tours

Hop on – hop off Rome

City Sightseeing Rome Bus Tours are quite famous because you have them in most all European cities! In Italy the City Sightseeing bus is present in Florence, Milan, Naples, Palermo, Torino, Verona and many more! In fact, if you show a recent bought ticket to the staff in any of the other tours Worldwide, you’ll automatically get a 10% discount on the ticket you’re buying! When you hop-on, you’ll get disposable ear phones so you’ll have the chance to listen to informative commentary in eight different languages; Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Russian, while passing by famous monuments.

City Sightseeing Rome Bus Tours has a Visitor Center in Via IV November, 147 near Piazza Venezia in Rome. They offer other tours; like buses going to the famous outlet Castel Romano Outlets, Excursions of all kind or simply providing you with tickets for the Vatican Museum/Sistine Chapel and for the Colosseum without having to stand on line.

Even if the bus frequency is every 20 minutes, traffic can get quite bad in Rome. On Saturday mornings or Sundays, traffic in Rome is better because many locals are out of town. Saturday afternoon it gets crowded again because many people from the outskirts come to the city center for shopping! For this reason you might like to consider taking any bus tour when traffic isn’t so heavy. During the summer months it can get very hot sitting on top of the bus without air-conditioning and an open roof top! I strongly recommend sun tan lotion and something to cover your head. There is no air-conditioning in the bottom part either. The stops have no sun shades and the wait can be a little longer during high tourist season. Sometimes it’s hard to follow what monument is being described because you could be stuck in traffic for a while but the commentary goes on…

Time tables: The buses go every day, all year round. City Sightseeing bus tours only have one route which start out at two different Terminals. The reason for this is because they don’t want to have large crowds waiting in one point and they’d like the customer to have two choices on what area is better for them to reach.

The first bus starts at 9.00 at the Termini Train station in the street Via Marsala 7 and the last ride goes at 8.15PM from Piazza Barberini (Via Barberini 2) near the famous Via Veneto! The official bus frequency is every 20 minutes if the bus starts out at Terminal A; Termini Marsala – Via Marsala 7 or 45/60 minutes if the bus starts out at Terminal B; Largo di Villa Peretti – Largo di Villa Peretti 1.

[wptabtitle] Special Notes[/wptabtitle] [wptabcontent]

What to expect from a City Sightseeing Rome bus tour:

In my opinion City Sightseeing Bus Tours give you one of the best, understandable maps when you get on the bus! It explains where you have to walk too and what’s important to see. The map also has little pictures of the monuments on it to make it easier to understand.

Open Bus tours can be quite fun depending on the time of the year you’re visiting and the weather conditions. The Metro may be quicker to get from point A to B and you’ll have more time for your monuments but at the same time you’ll always be underground …maybe a good solution would be to through a day in for an open top bus ride!

Sometimes it can happen that routes get diverted because of demonstrations or strikes.

What you can expect when taking the Green line hop/on hop off tour bus:

 If you’re not the biggest Hard Rock Café fan then I would consider taking another open bus tour because of their bad rating for the hop-on, hop-off bus tour. If you’re up for the non-stop bus tour, then this one here is a pretty good deal compared to other companies and you should go for it. If you decide to do the hop-on, hop-off version then I would recommend you going straight to the starting point of the tour, namely the stop Termini train station, so you’ll get your seat of choice, especially during high-season!
