Differences between a private minibus tour and a big bus

If you are thinking about hiring a Rome, Florence, Naples - or any other destination - private minivan shore excursion or a big bus sightseeing, Rome-Tours.org will help you to make your choice, while deciding what's better or not between those two options.

- On the cruise ships, most of the tickets for the big buses are sold at around 115-135 euros each person: a group of 6 up to 8 people hiring a private full day shore excursion with Rome-tours.org will have it for much less, from 60 to 90 euros per passenger.

- Coming to Rome from Civitavecchia port (or to Florence from Livorno port) with a big bus will take approximatively two hours, and other two hours to drive back to the dock: by minivan or minibus it will take about 1,20 hour each way, sat in a De Luxe Mercedes.

- Big buses drop off passengers in special parking areas from which they'll have to walk for miles to each site to visit, following the guide's rhythm: with Rome-Tours.org you will be taken as closer as possible to the site you will visit and it will be your driver-guide following your rhythm.

- In big bus tours, 95% of the times you will be taken without any choice  in restaurants with poor and fixed menu: generally such tourist cheats. We think that food makes an essential part of your Roman or Italian experience, and we will have the pleasure to suggest nice local and non touristic places to eat like you never did before.

- Asking a question to your guide will be most of the times a tough job in a bus tour, lost in a group of fifty people. With us each question will have its answer from the beginning to the end of your full day: your private driver guide will satisfy all your general and cultural thursties.

- You need suddendly a restroom for any reason during a bus tour, with its own strict schedule: most of the times it won't be possible. Just ask to stop for a restroom to your private driver guide at any time, and it's done!

If you have neither an experience about big and crowded buses, nor cheaper private full day shore excursions of higher quality, we hope it will help to give you those basic informations showing the differences and allowing you to make the right choice: we will tailor your journey.

Obviously Rome-Tours.org tours and transfers organizes also Rome full day shore excursions in big buses of 54 seats, but focusing its activity with the same criteria of smaller groups: using two assistants instead of one, keeping in mind to assist every passenger like if he was in a small van. Our goal is to make you happy and satisfied. Always.
