I enjoyed this tour as a first glimpse of Rome. The duration was just right after a very long night/day of travel. Negative: We were rushed on a bus even though we were 30 mins early. The only seats left were at the very back under the tarp. It was extremely hot back there and very difficult to take pictures. We later realized that there were other buses behind us where we might of been able to get a better seat.

Should you wish to provide further details, please do not hesitate to contact us directly, and we will be glad to assist you. Best regards, Razvan @BigBusTours
Terrible. We saw zero sights lit up - it didn't go to several of the locations specified on the map, went nowhere near the colosseum and was basically nothing like advertised. It was boiling hot on the bus despite them advertising it as air conditioned - it wasn't at all effective and we had sat downstairs because of it and couldn't relocate to the top deck as by the time we realised it wasn't working well it was full. Honestly we would have all got off if we could have but unfortunately it didn't stop anywhere so we were stuck. Just a truly awful bus tour - avoid at all cost!
Really good driver and good tour go round things twice and stop for pictures - very chilled and relaxed would recommend doing first day so you know what is where
Hi! Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and had a great experience with our driver. It's fantastic to know you appreciated the relaxed pace, the opportunities to stop for photos, and the chance to see the sights more than once. We also love your recommendation to take the tour on the first day of a trip—it's a great way to get familiar with the city before exploring further. Thank you for choosing Big Bus Tours. We hope to welcome you on board again soon! Andreea@BigBusTours!
This is practically a scam. They oversell the buses so that some people have to sit below deck or under the roof awning and can’t see. The situation when boarding is chaos and no information about where to go with your voucher. If you get a seat for the “panorama” on the top of the bus, the chaos continues as the passengers start standing and leaning and reaching to take photos. Viator should discontinue this embarrassment.
Hi, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We take your comments regarding boarding, seating, and the overall experience seriously.

This was a great way to see parts of Rome we were not able to get to in our short trip. It was beautiful at night! The only thing I would have done differently is that I would sit on the right side of the bus!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed seeing Rome at night and that the tour helped you discover parts of the city you might not otherwise have had time to visit. Rome is certainly beautiful after dark! We also love your tip about sitting on the right side of the bus—I'm sure future visitors will appreciate that advice. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We hope to welcome you on board again during your next adventure! Kind regards, BigBusTours@VladL
Very disorganized at check in. No one gave us headsets. There should be a seat for everyone on top. Half my family was downstairs. Although it was great to see the sights, it would have been nice to see it more at dusk as it was very bright for a nightime view of the sights with lights
Hi, Julie, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I am very sorry to hear about your experience at check-in, as well as the inconvenience regarding the headsets and seating arrangements for your family. Please note that seating on the upper deck is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and during busy tours, top-deck seats can fill up quickly. Regarding the headsets, our staff should always provide them upon boarding, and I sincerely apologize that this was missed during your check-in. Additionally, our night tour departure times are fixed to accommodate operational schedules, though we understand how daylight during summer evenings can affect the view of the city lights. We appreciate your comments as they help us improve our service, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience in the future. Best regards, Mihaela@BigBusToursTeam
Very nice experience. The driver was very professional.
We did the night tour, staff was great. The top of the bus was full so we sat below we got horrible pictures between the windows being dirty and the led blue light reflecting none of our pictures turned out. I assume if you sit on top it was better. The information was good on the head set.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the night tour and found our staff and audio commentary helpful. We’re sorry to hear that the view from the lower deck affected your photos, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope to welcome you again for another Big Bus Tours experience.

We enjoyed our 1 hour evening sunset cruise around Rome. It was beautiful to see things lit up at night and a different perspective to see it from the top of a double decker bus.
Hi, Julie! Thank you so much for the lovely review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the beautiful views from the top deck and that our evening tour gave you a wonderful new perspective of the city lit up at night. We hope to welcome you on board again soon! Best regards, Mihaela@BigBusToursTeam
Thus was a good tour but very unorganised. We were meant to be on 8:20 pm bus as had tickets but they didn’t let us on even this we arrived at 7:50 pm. We had to wait for the next bus which took ages.
