What to expect

Planning your Italian adventure is easy with this hop-on hop-off Big Bus tour: make your way around Rome's most important sights from an open-top double-decker bus, hop on and off as many times as you like at any of the stops around the city and explore at your own pace!

The Red Route is designed to show you all of Rome's most famous landmarks, from the Colosseum to the Spanish Steps, and the Trevi Fountain to the Vatican. Learn about the history of the Eternal City thanks to the recorded commentary available in 5 different languages, and take advantage of a self-guided walking tour available for download from the Vox POPGuide App.

Download the app and enjoy the self-guided tours or just listen to the information about the hundreds of sights these tickets will give you access to, and discover the entire city on bus and on foot. The walking tour application is also available offline once you have downloaded it.
