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.

It connected fine although the connection between the ship's shuttle bus and the shuttle to Rome itself didn't provide much of a seating area whilst waiting for the shuttle to Rome. I have ticked the box for travelling with a family member (teenager) - this is a little incorrect as my family member is 35 yrs old but the choices below omits the option of travelling with family member who is over 20yrs old

This tour was very good. Very informative and hits all the Rome highlights. The only issue we encountered was finding the Big Bus after the bus from the port dropped us off in Rome. There were no instructions in the advance emails so once the bus drops you off, walk in the same direction the bus is facing to the bus/train terminal which will be on the left. The Big Buses load there.
