It was a magical honeymoon for my partner and I. Thank you Turbopass, you made this trip as uncomplicated as can be. Planning where or what we wanted to do was a breeze, and we were able to fit some spontaneous visits as well.
Highly recommended, everything as described!
I have been to Paris several times before but this time, I was able to do a lot more and experience Paris like I have never before. I loved being able to jump on the metro or a bus knowing it won’t cost me extra. It also took us to museums that we would have never paid to go in before. We had the freedom to just get up and go rather than trying to work out if going somewhere was ‘worth it’ or not.
It was pleasant for me to be able to select and some sightseeing only perform short, some museums have visited it twice.
Everything was very relaxed with the Pass you had not line up on the long cash line. At Arc de Triomphe, there is even an entrance for people with the Pass. We were very satisfied!
I was with my daughter 4 days in Paris and will Paris henceforth always visit with the CityPass. It simplifies everything and it's fun just about anywhere to get through quickly and efficiently.
The City Pass is the best decision for a trip to Paris. No waiting times at the Louvre, a boat trip on the Seine, almost no waiting times at the museums, it´s just awesome. An important note: The Metro subway ticket is valid for the bus lines in Paris as well. It´s great to discover Paris by overground. Because of that we started using the bus. It´s almost as fast as going by metro and its a great way to see Paris while driving around.
Paris is always worth the trip!
The fact that we did not have to queue thanks Paris City Pass at the Louvre, has saved us valuable time and we could see a lot more of Paris.
Besides many other attractions we really enjoyed the Seine river boat trip where you can see many of the important sites without walking that much.
Basically everything was fine. Pro: We wouldn't have been able to get regular entry to the Louvre, which we got with the Turbopass. There were also attractions that we wouldn't have otherwise seen, such as the Monteparte Tower. Cons: The Palace of Versailles could only have been explored with a guide from Paris, as there was no regular entry, so we couldn't take advantage of this benefit. The Eiffel Tower is also heavily advertised, and that was also a fixed point of our stay, but not with the pass. With the pass you can only go up at 8:30 or 19:00, and 19:00 was fully booked weeks in advance. So we had to pay an extra €50 per person on another platform to get to the second floor. In summary, the Essential Pass was okay for the value - I would use it again for another city, but book earlier in advance.
The pass is a good idea, especially if it's your first time in Paris! Most of the most important sights are covered, but you have to be aware that you'll be assigned a specific time slot for which you can make a reservation – this isn't always the optimal time (for example, 8:00 a.m. at the Eiffel Tower). Furthermore, having to make a reservation in advance means you're a bit inflexible, especially when it comes to the weather. However, the individual prices are significantly cheaper. The pass is worth it even if you don't see all the sights, which is almost impossible. The audio guides are also well designed and worth downloading!
Good value for our trip to Paris especially the 4 day museum pass with the 3 day Turbopass purchase. It does seem like you have to book with Turbopass and also book with the venue for many venues so make sure to read the instructions and keep good records of your bookings as you will need them at entry, as expected.
I like that you can do this digitally. Took a bit of time to understand the booking process for the Lourve.
We had an amazing time using the pass over two days. It offers plenty of activities and saves you from waiting in line to buy tickets at each location. It's definitely worth the money and very easy to use.

We had the 3-day pass without the Eiffel Tower. We saw everything we wanted. Well organized on site. If you book the Eiffel Tower on site it is cheaper than with the pass. Booking the museum pass and then the entrance tickets on top of that is cumbersome. You didn't want to see them on site but you did want the museum pass. Our suggestion for improvement would be: take out a few museums and replace them with the local transport ticket. We took a lot of buses and trains and it was worth it. You could also save yourself the Seine trip with the provider. It's mass processing. We had a QR code like everyone else, but with the Turbopass you had to get an extra ticket with it at the counter, which was an absolute waste of paper.
I booked at short notice, so unfortunately I couldn't get the date I wanted. So plan enough time in advance for the booking. The entire process went very smoothly. However, because of the bookable time slots, I couldn't take part in all the activities I wanted. That would have been different if I had booked further in advance. So decide early, then it will be perfect.
Short or no queues, quick email response if you have any questions. Unfortunately no longer available for public transport.
