Itinerary

Get on one of the open-air double-decker buses for a hop-on hop-off tour of Milan. There are four bus routes with more than 30 combined stops, so you can find a stop close to where you are and where you want to go.

The route for Line A, the red line, includes the Milan Duomo (Cathedral), the 14th-century Castello Sforzesco, and the renowned La Scala opera house, one of the most famous theaters in the world. The entire loop of Line A takes 90 minutes.

The route for Line B, the blue line, includes the skyscrapers of Palazzo Lombardia, the Porta Venezia (one of the historic city gates), and the Santa Maria delle Grazie church, in which Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” fresco can be seen.

The route for Line C, the green line, includes the massive San Siro football (soccer) stadium, the Monumental Cemetery, and a stop near the shopping quarter around Via Montenapoleone.

The route for Line D, the yellow line, follows the canals of Navigli, past Piazza XXIV Maggio and the Duomo, to the posh district of Montenapoleone and Brera.

With your hop-on hop-off ticket good for either 24, 48, or 72 hours (you choose the option), explore Milan at your own pace and get off the bus at any stop you like. What’s more, the four routes mentioned are connected, so it’s no trouble to switch from one to the other to cover more ground.

*Note that during summer you have the option to ride the bus at night.

The biggest ripoff of all time

William_R, Jul 2026

They would not use my confirmation number, nor my booking number in order to allow me access onto there. When I took a photograph of the person who denied me and her boss, they then wanted me to delete that from my phone or refused to put me back on the bus because she had separated me from the rest of my family! He was equally unhelpful. I will never take this again and I have used this so many times in the past.

Great experience. But had no bus after 610 pm to take us home. As waiting for the bus for the different routes took a long time.

Cheap way to get around Milan

Scott_G, Jun 2026

This is a great way to get around Milan. We were here during the heat wave so the upstairs seating was hot. Inside had ac which was a relief. As long as you pay attention to the signs it’s very easy.

Just a regular bus ride 😬

Kristi_C, Jun 2026

Decent bus ride, just not alot to see. I think $10-15 would be fair for such a small city with less than 10 stops. Also, how is there no bar code reader for tickets? Yikes, as a tourist, there’s no way I’d now that the bus people don’t have this device. The site generates a bar code for the tickets but they preferred seeing the entire email? One bus driver didn’t speak any English and we almost got turned away because he didn’t understand us. Milan has definitely seen us for this one time lol

Hop on hop off disaster

Lorgia_R, Jun 2026

We have used this tour in every country we have traveled but in Milan it was extremely confusing and the conductors were not helpful. If you are looking to use the hop on hop off bus in Milan use the Milan open bus instead more stops and better organized. The map and QR code are not on schedule and while there are several lines to ride they don’t all connect. We hopped on one line and then two stops later told it was the end and no other bus was going to that location. Ended up taking a cab back to where we started.

waste of time

Carrie_K, Jun 2026

almost no information given about the sights and history of milan. an hour sitting in traffic, listening to classical music on the provided headphones. very disappointed and would not recommend this specific tour (yellow line)

Nothing to write home about.

Jodie_C, Jun 2026

As far as other hop on hop off bus companies go, it's pretty average. The audio commentary is not detailed and about a block to late. Having 4 routes though the city is a good idea.

Tour Operator Does Not Respond To Communication

Joshua_G, Jun 2026

While booking this tour, I opened a new tab which inadvertently changed the date from 09/06 to 06/06 (less than 24 hours). I noticed within a couple of hours an immediately messaged the tour operator through viator requesting to change the dates. The tour operator did not respond. I sent a follow up message a few days later and the tour operator still did not respond. I waited a week to leave this review to try and give the tour operator an opportunity to respond even if it was to tell me "sorry, but refunds within 24 hours can't be honored" but I received ZERO communication.

Great value not to be missed

Josephine_R, Jun 2026

A great way to get an overall view of Milan. To do all 4 routes it will take approximately 8 hours with no sightseeing stops. Each route takes approx 1 hour, however the wait time for the next route bus add to the travel time. Wait time varies as does the regularity of buses on specific routes. The wait times between buses or routes were sufficient to have a meal before rejoining your chosen bus. Highly recommend if you have limited time in Milan.

Audio does not work on...

Holly_L, Jun 2026

Audio does not work on buses Tour guides do not interact with you. They are only there to check tickets No warning before each stop. Drivers will stop at random spots to get coffee and greet friends.

Easy touring option

Jane_B, Jun 2026

The bus is a great way to see Milan with minimal effort Lots of stops to get on and off. Buses can be crowded which is a pain

Very disappointing!

Dawn_H, Jun 2026

A lot of the ear bud connectors on multiple buses did not work so we were unable to hear the description of what we were supposed to be looking at or what stop was coming up. It was a rainy day, and no coverings on the windows at the top of the bus. There were very few dry seats!!

4 routes are excellent

Carlos_H, May 2026

With 4 routes it covers plenty of Milan. The timing between stops for the next bus is a little longer than usual in other big cities, but it works.

John_C, May 2026

There are four lines for the buses and each line takes you to different parts of the city. Great way to find where things are.

Hop on hop off Milan

Rachel_M, May 2026

This hop on not as good as other cities Other cities tell you at the stop what sights to see this didn’t happen they just said the stop A shame as we have done many hop ons around the world I think this need to be rectified and make it a more pleasant trip

Worst bus experience...

Aidan_K, May 2026

Worst bus experience ever. App didn’t work, bus wasn’t on one route. Didn’t stop for us and our baby.

Response from Host, May 2026

Not the best

Gabriel_P, May 2026

Unsympathetic bus assistant border-lining Rude. Did not make announcements during the trip and didn’t offer earphones. Scanning the audio, there was one in Italian and another one in a strange language. No English!!!

Half way tour

Norma_B, May 2026

First, the hostess could not control the crowd getting into the bus. Second, the tour guide talking does not match with what you see. Third, a lot of the wall connectors are out of service so you have to change sits until you find one which one works. Also I had to change head phones twice because they did not work.

Frank_Z, May 2026

It’s very convenient to survey the city to ride around. We had enough time to try Red and Blue lines before went deeper to visit other specific sites separately.
