OK deal, quick access to the basilica as promised and the audio guide is pretty handy. Sant Angel castle was pretty cool too.

It was amazing

Excellent service and only 20 min waiting time for the next bus. It has the same issues at the other tour buses as well on the number of bus stops especially near the Vatican city area and stop could be nearer to the sights of interest. However, it is still a better hop on and hop off bus as compared to the rest that I had experienced.

My boyfriend and I took an impromptu trip to Rome and naturally, didn't pre-book any of the activities. After some searching online DoTravel was the only site with available tickets at a normal price. We arrived to the meeting point, picked up our tickets and headed to the Museums. We only had to wait about 10-15 minutes in the fast-track line for the security check. We were so happy to get in so quickly and without issues. Thanks DoTravel!
