About this activity
Hop-On Hop-Off River Cruise
Board your open-air boat at either Castel Sant’Angelo, Isola Tiberina (Tiber Island), Ponte Sisto or Ponte Cavour. Listen to the recorded audio commentary as you sit back, relax and cruise along the Tiber River, admiring breathtaking views and passing under several incredible bridges as you go.
With your 24-hour ticket, hop off to sightsee at your own pace. Perhaps disembark at Isola Tiberina to see the Colosseum, where emperors used to host games to entertain the public. Usually starting with comedy acts and exotic animal displays, the games ended with gladiator fights to the death.
Hop back on the boat and cruise to Castel Sant’Angelo. Originally commissioned as a mausoleum, Castel Sant’Angelo now serves as a museum and is only a stone’s throw away from St Peter’s Church and the Vatican City.
The full-loop duration of the cruise lasts about one hour, and boats arrive every 30 minutes at both piers.
Hop-On Hop-Off River and Bus
Upgrade to combine your Tiber River cruise with a 24-hour hop-on hop-off bus ticket. Travel quickly and easily between Rome’s most popular sights and enjoy spectacular views of the city from the open-air, top deck of the bus.
Board your bus from any of the eight routed stops, hopping off and on at your leisure. See the Itinerary for a full list of stops. Perhaps, hop off at the famous Trevi Fountain and toss a coin into the crystal clear waters to ensure a return trip to the Eternal City. Be sure to stand with your back to the fountain and toss the coin over your left shoulder with your right hand. One coin means you’ll return to Rome, two means you’ll return and fall in love, and three means that you’ll return, find love and marry.
The full loop lasts around 1.5 hours, and buses arrive every 15 minutes at each stop.

Very slow moving small boat, no drinks available or offered, absolutely no communication with the crew at all. It went where it was supposed to but we were really disappointed with the experience.
Lots of traffic. Hard to find sites when getting off the bus. Not all seats had working audio terminals.
The views from the boat are absolutely magnificent! Take the late afternoon cruise to get sunset photos and sit at the top of the boat for the best view. You can't hear the tour information at the top, but with those views it doesn't matter!
IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THE RIGHT BUS LOST OUR MONEY
Not a lot t see. The commentary was good. We were able to rest our feet though after a long walk through the city.
This tour was very disappointing. The boat was going up and down within 500 yards. You could not see much . I feel it was a waste of money.
