Turbopass was more than helpful. It has most of the important tourist attractions. A 4 day city pass has 5 days of unlimited access to public transport in zone 1 , 2 and 3. What I should have wanted to visit and I couldn't with this pass was Grand Palais. Overall it was great. Also I had some questions to ask, so I called a couple of times at Turbopass customer support and they were more than happy to help me and answer my questions. This is what I liked the most.
The open-bus lines were a very good addition to the turbopass. This hop-on-hop-off-bus allows you to view the interesting sights of Paris flexibly over 4 routes and to get information about the city through the Audioguide. The roof terrace in the Lafayette department store offers a great view - the house is definitely worth seeing from the style and decor. Breakfast in small boulangeries at squares and in side streets is always preferable to a hotel breakfast, because one gets the French way of life the best.
The pass is worth it for tourists who want to explore Paris on their own and at the same time see a lot of sights and cultural institutions.
Thanks to the 30% rebate of the CityPass for Paris stay was recommended. But you have to be a museum friend to him really to nützen.Sonst it is stressful.
extensive information material about sights, museums, city map, metro map etc. With ticket to get very quickly to queue past (except Palace of Versailles - here was the CityPass less useful). We would book the Turbo Pass again.
A must for every Paris visit
Good and useful, but not cheap. Nevertheless, I would do it again.
I was with a friend in Paris and we were very pleased with the Paris City Pass. Due to the travel time in September, we had luck, that we had not to wait gin lines in general. If it does, the City Pass was well to help us. Because the entrance fees to the sights of Paris as well as trips on public transport in Paris are very expensive, it was worth it in any case, to get the City Pass. I would do it again. The 2-day pass, however, had also served us.
The pass itself was good. A nice combination of everything. The tour in Montmartre was nice. A metro ticket would have been great. The individual offers were a bit confusing. You had to look at different PDFs, scan different QR codes and sometimes pre-book the museums. Well, that's hard to change. But bundling all the information in one app would have been great.
There were three of us in Paris and used the turbo pass for the first time. Here are my pros and cons: + the fast lane in the Louvre has paid off! It's just not really signposted and we needed something to find it. Nevertheless, we were inside within about 40 minutes. + there are plenty of offers in the program, there is something for everyone + ticket for public transport - meeting points could be better advertised. Lost a lot of time to find the right access. -The program online as well as the magazine are not up to date. For example the Opera Garnier is listed, but there is currently no cooperation. (A visit is still worth it!) - Better information on the conditions would be helpful. The Versailles Gardens are on the program, but are only accessible with a TurboPass if there is NO Musical Fountains Show. In this case, a ticket must also be purchased. TIP: Apply for the City Pass in good time and have it sent home! For many attractions you have to book a timeslot at least 24 hours before the visit! This is definitely more relaxed on a home PC with WLAN than with data roaming via smartphone in a café with poor reception ... In addition - with a turbo pass over 3 days you get a museum pass over 48 hours. You have to know to be able to plan well. Conclusion: is the turbo pass worth it? Depends on. Anyone visiting the Louvre and Versailles should be aware that both take a lot of time. There is less time to see the other attractions. Whether the purchase of the turbo pass pays off varies from case to case. In terms of costs, we unfortunately paid extra. However, if you want to see a lot and have already chopped off the big knockers, you will probably get your money's worth here.
I booked the Turbo Pass for myself and my 17 year old daughter. The pass for my daughter was actually not worth it, as admission to all attractions for minors in Sparks is free anyway. The metro ticket can also be bought on site. Since all visits to museums and sights have to be booked with a timeslot due to the pandemic, we did not have any faster access than everyone else. It was practical that you didn't have to worry about buying the tickets, that saved time. We also had to laboriously inquire about the Hop on Hop off meeting point, as it is not stated in the documents and the promised discount for a purchase at La Faayette could not be redeemed. The lady at the cash register didn't know that. In summary, I would say that such a pass is definitely worthwhile for adults if the conditions are normal, but I was annoyed about the almost 180 EUR.
There were a good amount and choice of visitable attractions included. The problem was, that we have to cue so many times for at least 30-45 minutes - but we booked the „turbo pass without cueing“... at Louvre about 60 minutes...
In some attractions it is mandatory to book timeslots in advance - but there is no hint for every attraction to do so in the turbopass documentation! So we were unable to visit the attractions we wanted!
The Customer was very nice because we had a problem with some vouchers. The Customer Service was vier helpful, nice and transparent...
But I don’t know if we book a turbopass again in Paris! In Rome instead the turbopass was very helpful and made our trip even better
Metro map worked great. Many museums / places visited, which we would not have visited otherwise. But at Versailles and Louvre each one hour waiting at the entrance, so no turbo. If you just want to get a taste of everything, you're well served here. If you want to see Versailles and the Louvre in particular, you should book tickets with a certain amount of time or guided tours in order to avoid waiting times.
Paid a lot, is not accepted everywhere, mostly only with guidance, the maps for metro and bus, hardly work, even after the exchange again and again problems, online card through mobile phone would be a good solution and bisl more information, because while a booklet, but very spartan.
We spent some days in Paris with Family and because we like to visit museums we ordered the card. Especially the Louvre was part of the planned attractions. Within Paris you can travel with the delivered card, but only for zones 1-3. We stayed outside of paris in zone 5 and needed to add tickets to the plan (and need to change train between the zones). Here it would be great to choose your zones!
If you want to visit Louvre, please do not use this ticket. They have a 4-class system there. The first class is the direct invitation of Department of culture and you can go straight to the entry. 2nd class are the people which ordered online directly at the webpage of the Louvre. The 3rd class are all of them who ordered the ticket here or at a similar pass system. And last but not least, if you have no ticket, you are not allowed to enter the Louvre anymore. You cannot buy tickets there!! What it mean to be 3rd class? If you look at the website, you can see, that the waiting time is told mostly with 30 min. But only if you have a 2nd class ticket! Ticket holder of City pass have to wait much longer!
You will be separated in two different lines. As the line for the 2nd class ticket holder will continuously flow inside the Louvre, will the other line for 3rd class card holders opened for 5 min, than closed for 20 minutes or more, than opened again for 5 min and so on. I waited in the line for 2 1/2 hours to come in. That was the reason we could not visit any other museum this day anymore.
I have no experiences with any other museum and this city pass, but for the Louvre it does not work as expected. Also for the most important point on our list, it was not suitable... to go to Eiffel tower. You have to wait and pay separately.
The 5-day pass is a 4 (!) Days museum pass with the adults, which is kind of stupid. There is no museum passport for the children's passports, which means that the children of the Cité des Sciences are paying admission (9, -), but the adults are not. This is stupid. The Tour Montparnasse discount everyone gets with a Metro day ticket (Paris Visite), you do not need the City Pass. Since Museum Pass and City Pass are inevitably overlapping in time, if you want to visit the important museums, you have little of the extras that the City Pass offers. Conclusion: unfavorable for 5 days and for the kids actually completely thrown out money. As a 6-day pass maybe okay (there is a 6-day museum pass), if you make a tight program. It was NOT worth it for us and we made in 7 days 7 museums and Versailles. The day has just 24 hours and with an average of 17000 steps per day (despite Metro) is also for adults a third agenda item not every day an option (if any). Especially since the queues for "accès priorityitaire" were not without before the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Versailles ... at least Pentecost 2019. Conclusion: PREPARATE well and calculate. And you can give yourself the children's passports. 10er ticket for the kids you get for 7,45 EUR, day ticket for 6, - (worth it if you want on the tour Montparnasse). We still had a nice time in Paris.
I bought 4 days Paris City Pass.
Seine River Cruise is a good experience.
Same with the observation at Arc de Triomphe
But unfortunately we dont have any fast track in Versailles which is really neccessary, while fast track in Louvre doesnt mean much because you still have to take the line to pass thru security check, which made the Museum pass not worth the money.
We went to Opera house at 14:00, but the reception didnt allow us to go in with Paris City Pass because they are out of English Speaking Tour. We agreed to be toured with other languages but they didnt let us do that, or go without tourguide unless we pay for a new ticket.
The pass is not bad, but we could not use it properly. At the Louvre he saved us 90 minutes of waiting, which was very pleasing. Unfortunately he does not apply to the Eiffel Tower. So many museums, like incl. Sind, you can not possibly look at (on the 4 booked) days and for that he is actually too expensive. We arrived by plane and despite the Metro Pass (zone 1-3) we had to pay € 10 each way and person (CDG Zone 5). As well as the info used nothing that you can buy a ticket for the Zone 3-5 on site, which would be extremely cumbersome and costs € 8.60. We have in the 4 days ins. 10x used the metro, because we would have been good with a 10er Carnet for 15 €. Unfortunately, the prolonged WE in Paris (with Ascension Day) was extremely busy.
The Paris City Pass was perfect for museums, boat trips, metro, bus and RER. The city tour did not work out at all; There were 4 providers and everyone pointed us to another organizer! It was very annoying; we have organized our destinations by metro and bus. Herbert from Vienna
