A great way to see the city. The audio guide was interesting and entertaining.
Dear customer, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring Rome with us and found the audio guide both interesting and entertaining. We’ve recently invested in renewing and improving our audio guide, so it’s wonderful to know that our efforts are appreciated! We hope to welcome you back on board on your next visit to Rome! Best regards, I Love Rome Hop On Hop Off City Tour
We only chose this as it offered a Kids English commentary - and we were delighted we did! It was great to keep our 9yo entertained - the adult commentary would have bored her. So if you have kids, this is the tour bus for you!
Dear customer, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your 9-year-old enjoyed our Kids English commentary and that it helped make the tour more fun and engaging for her. We’re especially happy that you chose I Love Rome for this reason! We hope to welcome you and your family back to Rome again soon. Best regards, I Love Rome Hop On Hop Off City Tour
This bus was not as nice as the other bus companies. The AC did not really work. This bus did not go all the places the others went to. They did not have as many buses, so you had to wait for a bus to come while the other companies would have two or three come by while you wait.
Dear Kelly, thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that our open-top double-decker buses have an open upper deck and doors that open at each stop, so it is unfortunately not possible to maintain the same level of air conditioning as on a fully enclosed bus. Regarding the stops, all our buses follow the same route established by the Municipality of Rome, so they do not skip any of the scheduled stops. We are sorry if this gave you a different impression. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in Rome. Best Regards I Love Rome Hop On Hop Off City Tour
Caution- I booked a trip at 7:30 in the evening for a tour around the city and I called for help and was told the buses end at 6:30 which was not advertised when purchasing the tickets. No refund was provided. The tickets I purchased said the time was available. I’m not happy. I don’t want anyone else to get ripped off.
Dear Customer, Thank you for your feedback. We are unsure why you were informed that the buses stopped running at 6:30 PM. Our service operates until approximately 8:30 PM, with the last full tour departure from Termini at 6:45 PM. We have no records of any operating day in which the service ended earlier than scheduled. It is possible that you arrived at one of the stops after the last bus had already passed following the final departure from Termini. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide you with the experience we always aim to offer. Kind regards, I Love Rome Hop On Hop Off City Tour
The bus is not on the stops as frequently as they say. It should be every 15 minutes.. other services are more frequent or have more busses in route. Staff is not friendly. No information when you can get out of the bus. Not a good experience.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our buses are scheduled to run every 15 minutes; however, traffic conditions, road closures, demonstrations and other unforeseen events in Rome can unfortunately affect the regularity of the service. We would appreciate it if you could contact us at openbus@graylinerome.it with a few more details, such as the location, approximate time and a description of the person involved. This will allow us to investigate the matter internally, as this is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide. Regarding information about the stops, we provide route maps and stop details in our brochure and on our app, where you can also check the real-time location of the buses. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our service. Kind regards, I Love Rome Hop On Hop Off City Tour
I usually never use these means to visit cities, I believe they are the least touristy thing that can exist, but this time due to the heat and fatigue we thought we would try. Terrible experience 44.00 euros for a tour of about an hour and a half during which there are more minutes spent stopped at the various stops than anything else. It is better not to comment on the staff as I understand that between the heat and working in contact with the public one often gets nervous..however, reflecting in hindsight I should have bought a daily metro ticket (8.50 euros) and used this means for travel from one beauty to another
Gentile cliente, Ci dispiace sapere che la sua esperienza non sia stata positiva. Naturalmente, se l'obiettivo è semplicemente spostarsi rapidamente da un punto all'altro della città, la metropolitana può rappresentare una soluzione più adatta. Il nostro servizio, invece, offre un'esperienza completamente diversa: permette di ammirare Roma dall'alto, lungo un percorso panoramico, all'aria aperta e con una prospettiva diversa sui suoi monumenti e sulle sue bellezze. Per quanto riguarda il personale, ci dispiace leggere il suo commento, perché teniamo molto alla qualità del servizio offerto. Se desidera raccontarci più precisamente cosa è accaduto e quale comportamento ha trovato inappropriato, saremo lieti di approfondire la sua segnalazione. Può scriverci all'indirizzo openbus@graylinerome.it. Ci auguriamo che, in futuro, possa scegliere il servizio più adatto alle sue aspettative. I Love Rome Hop On Hop Off City Tou
Rome is eternal and it was a very satisfying experience, it leaves you close to tourist spots.
Estimado David, ¡Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia! 😊 Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de su recorrido por Roma y que nuestro servicio le permitió acercarse cómodamente a los principales puntos turísticos de la ciudad. ¡Roma es realmente eterna y siempre tiene algo nuevo que descubrir! Esperamos volver a recibirle en una próxima visita. I Love Rome Hop On Hop Off City Tour
Good experience when visiting Rome for the first time However, the bus was not really clean, a pity!
Dear customer, thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear that you had a good experience visiting Rome and found our open-top bus a good way to explore the city, especially during the hot weather. We are sorry that you found the bus not as clean as expected. Our buses are thoroughly cleaned every morning and evening. However, as our service operates continuously throughout the day, with passengers constantly boarding and leaving at every stop, it can unfortunately be difficult to maintain the same level of cleanliness at all times. Unfortunately, passengers also sometimes leave rubbish behind, despite the signs on board asking everyone to help keep the bus clean. We hope to welcome you again on board in the future for an even more enjoyable experience. I Love Rome Hop On Hop Off City Tour
This was the worst hop on off bus we have ever used. The locations of the stops were so far away from the attractions we didn't even get off the bus. I have some trouble walking but reasonable distances are ok I missed going into major things..like coliseum and Vatican. Had to use expensive taxi!! Very disappointed 😞
Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the location of our stops is determined by the regulations established by the Municipality of Rome. Due to traffic restrictions, pedestrian areas, and limitations on vehicle access around some of the main monuments, it is not always possible for buses to stop directly in front of each attraction. The walking distances from our stops are indicated in our information materials, so passengers can plan their visit accordingly. We always recommend checking the stop locations and distances before starting the tour in order to choose the itinerary that best suits individual needs. Kind regards, I Love Rome Hop On Hop Off City Tour
It was a little out of the way for my start of my experience. Started at Circus Maximus and then took me to several stops that was convenient! The rotation on the route was good and I didn't have to wait for long. Being that it was summer months I wish the air conditioning was working, but that is just a little inconvenience. Overall I did like the availability
