Official Tours in Rome, Italy

Ahhh, nothing speaks more about vacationing in Rome than hoards of map gazing tourists touring the Eternal City. We are absolutely smitten with the 110 Open Bus Tour run by Trambus.  This is because it features the international hop on-hop off service. You can see the major sights of Rome easily, without the hassle of even using public transportation.

These open double decker buses painted in characteristic red and white, follow the main arteries of the city allowing you to sit in the comfort of your seat and admire certain monuments or in other cases, hop off at a bus stop located a few metres from more difficult to reach sights. There are in-depth audioguides available in 8 languages and a complimentary map of the city allows you to chart your path.

Price is almost everything for most tourists and we believe this tour is amongst those which gives you the best value for money, especially those who have limited time in the city of Rome. For example a 20 euro ticket valid for 24 hours can be used to easily reach in front of or just outside the Colosseum, Piazza Venezia, Piazza Navona, Bocca della Verita and Via Veneto just to name a few places. Take into account that some tour companies charge nearly 50 euro for a walking tour of the Colosseum and Palatine Hill with no flexibility in the times of certain tours.  With bus stops located all around the city, after touring one place, you can simply hop back on and head off to another. To maximize your money and time why not visit the most important sights we have listed here and on your final day take the No Stop tour for 15 euro to relive the memories of your favourite places. More mature tourists will appreciate this tour as it limits the amount of walking and allows you to avoid the sometimes overbearing summer crowds.
