Rome: City Highlights Open-Top Bus Night Tour

1.Rome: City Highlights Open-Top Bus Night Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 2,038 reviews · 45 min · from $22Our pick

Ride Rome after dark on a red open-top double-decker bus, passing Santa Maria Maggiore, the Colosseum, St. John Lateran, the Spanish Steps, and Piazza Navona. Recorded commentary comes in eight languages, with WiFi and headphones included. It is a quick, accessible introduction, not a hop-on, hop-off tour, and you complete one loop only.

“Was such a great experience seeing Rome at night and the pre-recorded audio had great information and we learned some new things as well as finding new places to tour. Tip: sit towards the back so you have the opportunity to see things longer and get better photos!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,803 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $146Top rated

Ride through Rome as a passenger on a vintage Vespa or in its shared sidecar. A driver-guide such as Manuel, Roberto, Andrea, or Stefano may lead the way past the Colosseum, Aventine Hill, Trastevere, and Janiculum Hill, with stops for photos, gelato, and coffee.

“We booked the 6pm Vespa tour and it was such a great way to see Rome and get a lay of the land. Our driver was Roberto, who pointed out landmarks and sights along the way. At the stops, Manuel provided us with descriptions of the locations and he also gave us food and drink recommendations in the area we were staying in - we ended up only eating at the places he recommended. Highly recommend this experience - seeing Rome this way was magical.”

“We highly recommend this tour. My sister and I were both nervous at first because we've never ridden an ebike before and the thought of riding with traffic was a bit daunting as well. But our tour guide Bruno was wonderful and helped make us feel at ease. He explained how the bikes work, let us do a test ride to make sure the bikes were adjusted correctly for our height, rode slowly at first until we felt comfortable, and played fun enjoyable music during the ride. At each stop he gave us interesting history for that location and then gave us time to take pictures. We did the tour…”
