This was a great way to see the highlights of the city when you only have a short time to visit. Included in our ticket was the transfer on SIT Shuttle Bus from the Civitavecchia cruise terminal to Rome. For those who may have trouble walking It is quite a walk to the Hop on Hop Off Bus stop from the SIT shuttle drop off point. Catching a taxi is a good idea for those with impaired walking abilities. The full route was longer than advertised because of traffic but for us that was fine. We enjoyed seeing the city on top of the bus. The Hop On Hop Off signs were easy enough to spot. There were employees around the area pointing us in the right direction. The Get your Guide Employee at the cruise terminal was very informative and did his job well. He made sure we understood where to go and what to do.

Bus is great and new. Very comfy. Around 15mins delay but still hv enough time for us to catch cruise.

Transportation from the cruise port to the city! They were punctual, and everything went smoothly!

On time. Vehicle spotless, roomy and super clean mfirtable for long ride from Rome hotel to pier.

Our driver, Frederick, was great; we recommend this tour.
