Description

Discover Rome with full flexibility thanks to a Hop on Hop off bus experience paired with a visit to the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, one of the most significant and fascinating churches in the city. This combined product is designed to let you explore Rome at your own rhythm, moving freely between landmarks aboard an openâtop sightseeing bus and NEXT immersing yourself in the rich history of one of the four major papal basilicas.
Your tour may begin on the panoramic bus, offering a comfortable and scenic way to admire Romes monuments. With the freedom to hop on and off throughout the day, you can build your own itinerary, pause at your favorite locations, or simply relax while the Eternal City unfolds around you.
Your visit to Saint Mary Major varies depending on the option you choose.
The standard entrance ticket grants access not only to the basilica but also to its exclusive Upper Areas, normally hidden from most visitors. Explore the Loggia delle Benedizioni with its elevated view of the square, walk through the historic Sala dei Papi, admire the elegant Scala del Bernini, and discover the treasures preserved inside the Liberian Museum. These areas offer a unique glimpse into the basilicas spiritual, artistic, and architectural heritage, but would surely require a longer exploration, so make sure you can dedicate it the right amount of time to just enjoy everything the entrance ticket includes!
The audioguide option, instead, is designed for those who prefer a fully independent and insightful visit. It includes skipâtheâline access, allowing you to enter the basilica quickly and enjoy detailed audio commentary at your own pace. Please note that this version does not include access to the Upper Areas.
Inside the Basilica, you will be surrounded by centuries of history, from shimmering early Christian mosaics to richly decorated chapels. Whether you choose the standard entry or the audio guide with priority access, the beauty and atmosphere of Saint Mary Major will leave a lasting impression.
This combined experience offers freedom, culture, and convenienceâa perfect way to discover the essence of Rome.
Bus Route stops: Termini Station Santa Maria Maggiore (entrance included and optional audioguide upgrade) Circus Maximus - Mouth of Truth Piazza Venezia Vatican City, Sistine Chapel, and Castel Sant'Angelo Spanish Steps Piazza Barberini and Trevi Fountain

Muy buena atención

Muy recomendable, sin vueltas. El personal de tierra fue amable desde el primer contacto. El detalle de autobús turístico con paradas libres y entrada a la basílica suma bastante. El guía se acordaba del nombre de todos, un detalle que se agradece. Totalmente recomendado.

Lo disfrutamos mucho, aunque hay cosas por mejorar. Pagamos bastante menos que otras opciones y la experiencia fue igual de buena. Cambiamos la fecha dos días antes y no hubo ningún problema. El chofer nos fue contando qué era cada cosa hasta Saint Mary Major. Nos escribieron el día anterior para confirmar el horario. Lo que no me gustó tanto fue la parada final, medio apurada. Buena experiencia dentro de todo.

Worth doing

Good experience, with one thing worth knowing beforehand. The guide was good, though I would have liked more time for questions. Of the whole route, Audio Guide Option is what I remember most. Slick logistics, clearly done every day. The weak point was the air conditioning, which could not keep up. There is room to improve, but no regrets.

Reservamos a último momento y fue un acierto total. Que venga con autobús turístico con paradas libres y entrada a la basílica lo hace más completo. Se ve que el guía elige bien qué contar, nunca se hizo pesado. Cinco estrellas bien merecidas.

Came away with a good impression. We went back to Saint Mary Major on our own the next day. Good guide, polite and helpful. One detail: the seats are not the most comfortable on a long run.

Increíble día

Es de esas cosas que uno recuerda años después. La parada en Audio Guide Option fue lo que más nos gustó. Sacamos muchísimas fotos, el recorrido pasa por los lugares justos. Saint Mary Major nos voló la cabeza, no esperábamos algo así. Se ve que el guía elige bien qué contar, nunca se hizo pesado. Una de las paradas estaba cerrada ese día y no lo avisaron. Muy recomendable para cualquier edad.
