We’re planning a family trip around Italy, but can’t decide — should we go with a minibus or a standard bus? There are about 20 of us, but some people think a minibus would be more convenient because it’s easier to navigate narrow streets and park. I feel like a standard bus might be more comfortable for long distances. Has anyone faced this choice before? Any advice on how to decide?

Interesting topic. I haven’t personally traveled on rented buses like these, but I’ve heard that minibuses are often chosen for city trips, while standard buses are better for longer transfers. I think it depends on the route and how important it is to move quickly.
We were in a similar situation when booking transport for a tour in Rome. In the end, we went with a minibus, and it turned out to be convenient — especially when navigating the narrow streets in the historic center. If flexibility is important and the group isn’t too large, a minibus can really be the better option. We booked through a minibus company in Italy — you can check in advance which types of vehicles are available and get a quote. It helped us decide that for our specific trip, a minibus was the optimal choice.
