Very useful add on to our...
Sue_M
, May 2022
Very useful add on to our Rome experience and money well spent. I purchased the 3 day pass, 2 days would have been perfect for us as we just explored on foot the 3rd day.
Finding the bus stop when you arrive is possibly the most difficult part, if you google search stop locations and use google maps its easy enough to find.
Once you've done the 90 minute bus loop you can familiarise yourself with the different areas.
Be aware that most stops are approx 10 / 15 minute walk from the actual area your heading to.
This is understandable as side roads are very narrow and cobbled.
Commentry is OK but doesn't sync with the location being described.
Be aware that most stops don't have any seating or shade while waiting so its gets very hot after a long day on your feet.
Staff were polite and helpful, we never waited longer than 15 minutes for a bus and got a seat up or down.
Overall I have no complaints and it definately complimented our Roma experience.

We had only a couple of hours before boarding a ship so the gave us a chance to see a few things. We didn’t get off but just road the circle.

Loved it!!

It was a wonderful tour and easy to navigate. Do early in your trip, it helps to get a lay off the land and then you can go back and spend more time in the places that interested you.
Good city overview. Poor instructions provided.
Odettelynn_M
, May 2022
Loved getting a quick overview of Rome. However, additional instructions are needed to actually find the bus stop. The tour instructions said to exchange our vouchers for tickets at the stand at the Termini. The cashier said to just give the voucher to the bus driver. Then was told to stand at the bus stop for the bus- just next to the statue about 200 feet away. Come to find out, the bus boarded across the street about a 1.5 blocks away. Very inconvenient for disabled such as we are.

The covered upper observation deck was perfect for a not so perfect day! Will recommend to our friends and family!

Bus waited at each stop longer than expected, but overall the experience was as I would expect. Called the tour company since I couldn’t find the location for my first pickup at Termini Station. They texted an amazing list that has google maps links to each pickup location!

Very nice experience. Blankets would be nice though AND i would aprecciate little more information about the city provided by the audioguides. Everything else was good. Bus was clean.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Dear Tereza,
thank you very much for your review; your feedbacks are very important to us.
Large investments will be made to update the contents of our audioguide but in this period we had other priorities such as adapting the health protocol onboard.
Anyway we thank you for your opinion.

Never overcrowded unlike others we saw. Really could use an extra stop between Vatican and Spanish steps
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Dear Chris,
thank you for your review; your feedbacks are very important to us.
In compliance with the municipal decrees, the route is the same for all open buses and it's established from the municipality; so it's not possible add a stop to the route.
Thanking you for your review we send you our best regards.

Great service recommended! Nice staff and always on time. Maybe a little too expensive comparing to public transport but hey ho it's Rome

We are very happy to know you liked the experience onboard, the punctuality of the service and our staff who will be glad to receive your compliments.

Eight stops. Main stop at Termini could be better signed and directions. Very easy to get lost here staff not very clear. Bus fairly regular. Not far from attractions. Plenty of room. Very enjoyable.

Dear Gerard,

Amazing Day in Rome
Amy_K
, Mar 2022
We were only in Rome for 1 day, so we were unable to get off at all of the stops. It was still worth the money. We also did a tour of the colosseum which and had a very wonderfully informative guide who made it a great experience.
Would not go with this tour company again
Julie_c
, Mar 2022
Bus pick up points were difficult to find and there was no clear directions on the website to locate them. This resulted in us wasting at least one of hour time looking for them. When we did eventually get on the bus the staff were very grumpy and short tempered, actually shouting at some passengers.
Tour buses with the Green line company were far more frequent. They had staff on the ground assisting tourists (it was actually one of their staff who helped us locate the Gray line pick up point)
I listened to their guide as their clients boarded the bus and they were far more welcoming and cheerful.
Also the commentary on board with gray line was poor and not very informative, played music rather than telling you things about the city.
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Dear Julie,
thank you for your review; your feedbacks are very important to us.
We would like to know, first of all, if you remember the name of the onboard assistant who welcomed you because we pay attention everyday in training our staff.
Please write us at openbus@graylinerome.it to find a solution together.

Not worth the money
Mikayla_F
, Mar 2022
Great idea in theory but it ended up being faster to walk places. The busses were always running late and it was a hassle to figure out exactly where it was going to pick up as the spots are a short walk away from the main attractions.
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Dear Mikayla,
we are sorry for your unpleasant experience.
In compliance with some municipal decrees, for security reasons and respecting the pedestrian areas, the buses can't arrive inside some areas, but only get as close as possible. In other places the bus passes directly in front of the monuments allowing you to enjoy a wonderful view.
These rules are valid for everyone, so all tourist buses do the same route.
Thanking you for your review we send you our best regards.

It was ok
Peter_H
, Jan 2022
This is one of many such companies offering a hop on hop off. Firstly the stops were difficult to locate as no information was given as to the location. For example we joined at Piazza Venezia and it took some time to locate the stop around 200 metres away from the site. The earphones were poor quality and some of the sound systems did not operate at all meaning changing seats. The actual audio support tour was limited and out of sync with the actual locations. As I said, there are plenty to choose from so could as easily recommend any other.
Response from Host , Jan 2022
Dear Peter,
thanks for your opinion.
We are sorry you didn't like the organization.
The stops are regularly indicated on the map and by local vendors.
We are also sorry to know you didn't like our commentary; large investments will be made to upgrade the content of our audio guide but unfortunately, in this period, very difficult for tourism, we had other priorities, such as adapting the health protocol on board, training staff and providing all buses with the appropriate tools to guarantee maximum safety. Anyway we thank you for your opinion; these feedbacks help us to improve our ability to intercept the aspects of our product that need to be worked on. We are sure we'll make it up to you next time if you'll give us another chance.

This was one of the worst...
Anna_H
, Dec 2021
This was one of the worst Hop-On-Hop-Off tours we’ve tried.
The stops were quite far from the actual sites, and the audio guide was not synced to where we actually were. So before we arrived to a site/could se it, white at a read light or other junction long before we arrived to the site the audio guide started to tell the story about site and surrounding.
At a couple of stops we stood still for a long time, maybe 15 min, before we started moving.
Response from Host , Dec 2021
Dear Anna,
