Hop-On Hop-Off Rome Bus Tour

This hop-on, hop-off tour of Rome offers an easy and comfortable way to reach the eternal city from the port of Civitavecchia. After an approximately 90 minutes drive you will be dropped off near Castel Sant' Angelo (the Vatican area). From here, the nearest bus stop is only approximately a 5 to 10 minute walk from the drop off site.

The excitement begins as you climb aboard your double-decker bus to visit the famous landmarks of the Eternal City. Ride on the top deck for beautiful panoramic views as you wind through Rome to the Colosseum, Piazza Venezia, St. Peter's Basilica, and much more.

Hop off the bus to view the area around the Vatican or toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain, one of the most photographed fountains in the world. While on tour you can walk up the steep slope of the Spanish Steps, a walkway between two piazzas that has been referenced in many songs and films. Make sure to stop for a bite of delicious pasta and a cup of espresso as you make your way through the city!

During this hop-on, hop-off tour you can listen to pre-recorded commentary available in 9 different languages that will provide you with the history and culture of Rome. You will also have a bus host who can give you information regarding walking tour itineraries.

With this tour bus system that stops by more than 8 major landmarks every 15 minutes, you get to spend as much time as you want at the sites you truly want to see. At the appointed time, the shuttle will return you to Civitavecchia.
