Florence hop-on hop-off bus review with route details, Fiesole views, stop-by-stop tips, pricing, timing, and advice on who should book.
“The weather impacted the 3 star rating as it was raining on and off all day. Although it was an open top bus they did have sides that rolled down but the seats were wet. Unfortunately you can’t predict what weather you will get when you book, but it does impact the views. That aside it was a good experience with staff that came round to make sure your earphones worked and you had the correct channel. They gave us plenty of notice of the next stop and what to see there.”

“There were 2 different tours on the same bus and we were able to either stay with the guide or wander on our own once at the Coliseum and meet up at the meeting point which we did. Rome in a day was always going to be a challenge but we got to see everything we wanted to see in Rome on this tour. We booked with Get Your Guide for Athens and Pisa and Lucca and were happy with all.”
