The headout app would not work on 2 different Android phones. When downloaded on the phones the app would constantly flash on and off on the phone. Had to uninstall app so no audio during our visit.

This sightseeing tour on foot was great, despite the rain. It was very interesting to see with my own eyes what I learned at school and know from textbooks. In the second tier there is an exposition and a lot of interesting information. We enjoyed it very much!

The castle is beautiful and yes it is advisable to book tickets to save the line. The view is beautiful from the top. I would only change that the meeting point was not so wide, since near the stairs other agencies also gather or that the person in charge would wear a shirt with the Headout logo.

The experience was unbeatable, as we did not have to queue for the Colosseum or the Roman Forum, which allows you to optimize your time when you make a few days trip.

Why settle for one when you can have more? Combine a Big Bus tour with your pick from three must-see attractions – Colosseum, Pantheon & Castel Sant’Angelo – for a Rome adventure tailored just for you.

Rome HOHO

Ride through Rome’s historic heart on the Red Route, stopping at icons like the Colosseum, Spanish Steps, and Circo Massimo. Soak in 360-degree views from the double-decker bus as you cruise past ancient ruins, lively piazzas, and Baroque masterpieces, with an entertaining multilingual audio guide keeping you company.

Please click here for a detailed route map and its boarding points.

You can join the tour at any stop and hop on and off for the duration of your ticket.

Colosseum, Palatine Hill & Roman Forum

Hop off at stop #3 and head to the Colosseum, where gladiators once battled for glory in the grandest arena of ancient Rome. Your ticket also includes Palatine Hill, the legendary birthplace of Rome, and the Roman Forum, where temples, arches, and political ruins tell stories of a bygone empire – all offering a fascinating walk through history.

Pantheon

The Pantheon, once a temple for all gods, now stands as a masterpiece of ancient engineering and Renaissance influence. Just a little off stop #5 on the Red route, you’ll find the Pantheon, standing tall with an enormous dome with an opening at its peak known as the oculus, that covers the marble work of this Roman temple-turned-Catholic church in natural light. Inside, find sunken panels, royal tombs, and Raphael’s resting place, all steeped in centuries of history.

Castel Sant’Angelo

Take the Red route on the bus tour and hop off at stop #6 to visit Castel Sant’Angelo. Built as Emperor Hadrian’s tomb, the landmark later became a fortress, papal hideout, and now a museum. Wander its five floors, from eerie prison cells to opulent papal rooms, and explore its vast collection of ancient weaponry. End your visit on the rooftop terrace with breathtaking panoramic views of Rome.
