  • GRACIELA INES 28 Dec 2018
    A great way to enjoy the city and very convenient for short visits to Rome. You can go to any place and enjoying the trip!
  • Mary Jean 22 Nov 2018
    Very good experience. Stops are near the tourist spots.
  • Khaing 9 Nov 2018
    This bus tour is great but unfortunately, when we visited Rome, the whole day was raining. At first, the bus attendant was not sure about our booking and need to check with the office. But it tools a few minutes and the problem was solved. Overall, it still worth it
  • Ma Jessica 5 Nov 2018
    Will recommend this to our friends who will be visiting Rome!
  • AZMI BIN 5 Oct 2018
    Good way to visit Rome in a short time and safe. because there are many pick pockets in the public transport.
  • Rosita 30 Sep 2018
    Klook is a best app for you to book the activity or attraction tickets. Keep continue the great service!!
  • minsik 8 Feb 2019
    Korean language support is not available. And we only went to five of the eight courses and walked the rest, and it seems to be more economical to buy a day pass for 7 euros. The Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, St. Minerva Cathedral and Marcelo Theater are within walking distance of Venice Square. Big Bus is in the center. So I say that the daily ticket is useful.
