AVOID!!!
Absolute shambles. We had a ticket booked online for months.
Turned up for the 8.20pm tour at 8.05pm.
We were told to wait in the queue, which we did.
Bus left without us and some other people. Asked what was happening h to be told that we had arrived late! A blatant lie.
Don’t sell tickets for specific times and then have staff on the ground who let people onto the buses willy nilly and do t check that everyone who has a ticket for the tour gets into the bus.
We walked away.
Bad enough the bus we should have caught went without us, bit to be called a liar by the staff member was unacceptable.
Would give zero stars if I could.

Disappointed.
Although I booked this trip in advance of our trip to Rome and arrived at the meeting point 25minutes early my daughter and I were still unable to get a seat at the top of the bus. The only seats left downstairs were the higher raised ones which faced towards the back of the bus. Sadly our views out of the windows were restricted.

Could have been better!
Loved seeing Rome at night, but narration was not in sync with where we were. A little disappointing!

Nice
It was nice but a bit too long (1h30); the monuments seen, it is then long because the bus drives around everywhere.

Big bus tour from the back seat
Very informative. Good setup. Get there 1/2 hour before departure to cue up if you want a top deck seat, or you'll be wasting your money sittIng on the lower level.
The driver could go slower to help

Big bus Rome night time
This big bus nighttime tour actually sells more seats than just for the top deck so if you don’t want to be inside on the lower deck get there much earlier. People started lining up about 730 for the 820 bus.
I actually got there early so we had a great spot at the top and for the best view sit on the right side.

Ok for the price
You will quickly see a lot of sites that you may not have time to visit. Get there early as there is limited seating on the open air top. Part of the top is covered and has a limited view. Inside the bus, the windows were dirty and we couldn’t take any good pictures.
