Part of the Big Bus Tours family
In August 2025, we were acquired by Big Bus Tours, the world's largest operator of open-top sightseeing experiences. This marks a strategic milestone in Big Bus Tours' evolution into a multi-experience operator, and a major step forward for the way travelers discover Rome.
Together, we combine our high-traffic, on-the-ground points of sale with Big Bus Tours' comprehensive platform for sightseeing and attractions – making trip planning and booking in Rome simpler and more rewarding than ever.
