Okay for an intro to Rome

4.00If you’re in decent shape and know how to use a map, this isn’t really necessary considering you can walk to all the stops. But the breeze on top was a nice break from the heat. The audio was mostly classical music with a little fact here and there. For your first day in Rome, I suppose this tour provides a good lay of the land in the touristy areas.
This bus doesn’t come...

1.00This bus doesn’t come nearly as fast as the others in town So slow after being in for one hour we had to rush off and grab the metro to make a collesium tour. (Which we still missed)
Great tour

5.00Great tour, very informative guide, a great history lesson. Being on the floor you really get the feel for what the gladiators went through.
Don't use City Sightseeing

1.00Audio was sub standard. Too many long stops. One driver quit early in the late afternoon and dropped us off to wait for another bus and we waited 45 minutes for the next bus. Miserable experience.
Great way to see Rome
