Will not buy again - - ever
Abbas_A, Mar 2024
I had purchased a ticket in advance of my trip to Florence, Italy. But was unable to use it due to their app not working despite several trials. They did not reimburse me. Taking that up with PayPal and my credit card. Will never deal with this company again.
Poor signage and maps online
Tammie_P, Mar 2024
Online map not accurate with stops and hard to see street names. Bus stops not clearly mark where to get on. Sites you see on the trip are amazing.

Hi, thanks for your comment. Your contribution will help us improve our service
Horrible experience
Camila_R, Feb 2024
Memorable for sure!!!! They have over 20 stops, only I could not find any of them, called Viator and they told me that I had 3 choices and they send them to me. We arrived at 11:40 am and their posted schedule said every 30 minutes, so we waited and waited and waited...... I contacted the operator and I was informed us that it was runing every 70 MINUTES only we had been waiting longer than that. Custumer service was horrible!!! And I'm being kind on the comments. I woul NOT RECOMEND THIS AT ALL.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Hi, we're sorry to read your comment. City Sightseeing Italy customer service always suggests the stop closest to the place where the customer explains they are. The frequency during the winter period is less frequent but the timetables are clearly available online on our official website www.city-sightseeing.it.

Rosetta_D, Jan 2024
Were sold tickets for this bus online but the bus service does NOT run in January and there was no information or any one to ask at Florence. No refund, just got ripped off
Affords Sights Outside of City Center.
Roy_C, Dec 2023
Nice way to get outside the city center and see the greener side of Florence. Lovely villas and parks are on the tour route.
General layout of the city
Francisco_G, Dec 2023
Good way to a general view of the city, though not very specific, the old city better viewed walking.
Excellent tour.
Helga_V, Dec 2023
The tour bus was awesome. Allows to see other parts of the city that the walking tour doesn't cover.
Make sure you get the summer timetable
Suzanne_P, Dec 2023
Beautiful day to explore Florence. Disappointing only one bus on one of the two routes so wairlts in between stops were 70 minutes. Guess it's to be expected over winter months.
Very bad/ no info on bud stops
Gina_S, Nov 2023
Spent over 2 hours looking for the right bud stop which wasn’t listed anywhere. Ended up having to take last bud which was cut short. I had Reached out 6 times to Viator. Have asked for refund and have yet to hear back.
Great attractions overview
Ken_H, Nov 2023
This is a great way to a the City’s, and get an overview of what attractions are where. We frequently get the “lay of the land” with this company in whatever new city we happen to visit. We highly of recommend them.
Lousy
jaime_g, Nov 2023
Hop-on hop-off. Maybe ONCE not enough buses , we hop off and waited for next one. Never showed , waisted time waiting not sign or times where the bus dropped us off
Great deal
Peter_W, Nov 2023
Great deal! Saw most of Florence and decided where we wanted to spend our time. Definitely saw more of the city than if we had not taken the bus. We even hopped on the next morning since it is a 24 hour ticket.
On time and great bus tour
AyeshaCruickshank, Nov 2023
Not all hop on and off bus tours are good. This is one of the best. The app that shows where the bues are is a great addition
driver half heartedly...
angus_f, Oct 2023
driver half heartedly gestured us on bus did not give us a ticket for our voucher so we did not receive head phones or map went around some very uninteresting parts of the city but did not know where we were as he did not announce any stops and did not stop at very many, had know idea where to get off. it wasted half a day of our short trip to florence when we eventually got off and tried another bus the same thing happened. driver seemed angry and did not speak just gestured. always use hop on hop off on our city trips and have never had any problems but will not use this company again
Good value
Ruthanne_G, Oct 2023
Tour was great. My only dissatisfaction was that sometimes the audio was out of sync with the drive-describing something we were not actually near. A bit confusing. Next time we will get the 48 hour one. It was great to be able to take bus to get near other things we wanted to see without taking a taxi or walking a ton.
Worst tour ever, don't do it.
andrewmay, Oct 2023
Don't do this tour, it is boring, and takes you no where near any attractions, it's very difficult to find and a waste of money. The driver had no understanding of English, he was rude and obnoxious. Just waving people on board, not checking tickets or any customer service.

Tina_S, Oct 2023
The bus was fun and clean. We did a 3 day pass and used it every day ! We went all over Florence on it and it was a great ride. We saw so many sites !
No Buses!!!!!
Barbara_F, Oct 2023
There were no buses at all and no one to call I cancelled but was refused a refund I never got on a bus!!!!! I never even saw a bus for Hop on Hop off in Florence
Great experience, Good value
Lorena_F, Oct 2023
Great service! The bus was very clean and the air conditioning made it comfortable for us Canadians. However, we had some difficulty reading the itenerary stops map though and street signage was not clearly identified. We would recommend this tour to our friends. Very good value for short visits to Florence. Thank you.
