    I traveled with you on a day when there were several demonstrations in Rome that caused detours and these were not communicated (this being your job you were supposed to inform yourself and inform customers). This caused several inconveniences. When I had to take the bus back to Colosseum only by chance did we realize that the line had been diverted and we had to travel a very long way to catch it at the next stop. Considering that I had chosen to take your bus so that people would not have to walk under the subway...unfortunately the choice did not turn out to be a good one. We had the same problem at the end of the route because, again due to traffic detours, the driver could not take us back to the stop where we had to leave our car in a parking lot (which we had chosen because it was adjacent to the Ludovisi stop). Because of these inconveniences we had to walk several miles with people who could not walk too far that day (including 3 children). However, I must say that the staff was very kind (both drivers and assistants).

    The purchase was super easy and access to the bus was also super easy. However, some of the drop-off points were a bit far from the places, which made us a bit confused to find other points. But all in all it was very good. The staff are extremely friendly. I recommend it.

    It was very nice from a panoramic point of view and really helpful in organizing a visit to Rome. Since it gave an overall view of the city, it was easier later on to decide what to see in detail.

    We were able to get a relaxed overview of the city and the sights and were given interesting details by the audio guide. And we liked it a lot.
