The Turbo Pass includes 2 passes, namely the Rome Pass and additional services. This is really a good thing except a problem: You have to plan the order of your visits very well, because you spend your free entries otherwise in places that are less important. That's what happened to us: before visiting the Colosseum, we got tickets for an evening event in another museum. There we were told that we could visit the museum for free anyway and well, our entrance to the Coliseum was gone. The museum itself did not interest us. We only wanted to go to the evening event and it was expensive anyway ... This problem is described very small at Turbopass, we had to search a long time until we found the text afterwards. Additional services (city tour and Vatican): The Hop on hop off tour (city tour) is actually a joke that the bus can not drive through the city. And, since the public transport anyway contained in the Rome Pass and are very cheap, so unnecessary. However, the ticket to the Vatican Museums was very helpful and spared us long waiting times.
Since Rome also has high season at the end of April, you should book your ticket early. otherwise there is no time window for the Vatican, which is inclusive. Also, when picking up tickets (if you, like us, could not send them anymore), you should stick to the pickup address and not think that getting tickets at other counters offering similar combination packages is not. This saves long waiting times and nerves. Next time we would probably solve the ticket on the spot and book the Vatican extra with a guide, but then in January / February when in Rome apparently nothing is going on
Advantages: the vouchers / tickets included Cons: the descriptions partly wrong and sometimes very inaccurate
but extrapay at Vatican due to limited contingent for Rome City Pass and Castel Sant'Angelo. Bus ride was great !!!!
For the Vatican, the passport has not brought us free admission - since the available days and tickets were booked long in advance. But there have easy get a normal ticket because we did not have to wait with the passport. Therefore, there is Sternabzug, because we have counted.
Wir waren zu viert in Rom unterwegs und hatten alle auch den Pass.
Dieser galt lt. Aussage der Dame an der Kasse der Engelsburg für nur 3 Museen, da sie aber \"Mitleid\" mit uns hatte, brauchten wir nur noch 7,00€p.P. nachzahlen. Das stand so nicht in den Prospekten.
Bei der City Tour bekamen wir auch die Auskunft, daß der Pass nur für diesen Bus gültig ist. Ein/- und Aussteige, wie verspropchen, war nicht möglich.
Alles in Allem verzog man eigentlich immer das Gesicht, wenn man den Pass vorzeigte. Ich muß ganz ehrlich sagen, daß ich schon etwas enttäuscht war.
Super war, man konnte alle öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel nutzen.
Beim Vatikanbesuch gab es auch keine Probleme.
Very cluttered, which is now exactly included. If you can take some time in advance, you probably get cheaper with single tickets and a multi-day public transport ticket.
We could not exhaust the turbo pass. The roads in Rome are wide, the museums are extensive and need a lot of time. After all, we were able to repeat the bus city tour two days later due to a mistake of the controller otherwise the 100 € for the 3 days would not have been worth it. Through the pass we could but the huge lines of people in front of the Vatican. Museums, the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. That's also worth something. Turbopass supplies a usable city map and additionally an overview with the bus and metro stops. The metro is good but the bus stops are not on the map (except Termini station) and therefore no help in finding it. Until you have familiarized yourself with public transport, the 3-day pass has expired again. It would be very helpful if the stops were integrated in the city map.
The only point of picking up the Turbopass tickets is near the Vatican. If you wish to benefit from free transportation, you must first get to the Vatican to pick them up, so you are required to pay to get there.
This is just a Roma pass with hop on hop off and Vatican ticket. It is true that you can go straight to St. Peter's from the Vatican without standing up, but unfortunately that is not the case. Find the pass is too expensive!
Leadership Vatican Museum had to be paid extra! € 20,00 per person! There was no info in advance!
The Rome City Pass is basically a great idea. You can quickly pass the major attractions and can use all public transport for free. However, when you have a child with you, not everything is taken for granted. Children do not receive a full ticket. You still have to hire a counter and get a free kids ticket. In the public transport, the pass must always be pulled through. The adults could have gone in for free in the Capitoline Museums, but we would have had to pay € 13 for the child. Our understanding was limited. After all, you also pay for the children's pass. Why is there a distinction between adults and children? It should be pointed out, at least when buying, that children can not go anywhere for free!
Great idea-the passport! Unfortunately the Vatican visit was scheduled for one day after my departure .. I will still buy the Turbopass again ..
In the Sistine Chapel one should not without reservation - it worked well there are also Rome tickets with St. Peter's Basilica without queuing - we were unfortunately 2 hours in the rain. However, after every Chinese must have been 1x in life id Sistine Chapel, the store will remain well visited for the next few years.
Unfortunately, we can not join the broad praise of other passport users. Despite our efforts, we did not manage to take full advantage of the 3-day pass. In itself we always use passes for city tours and like to visit museums and sights but in Rome the paths are wide, the museums are often very large and therefore the visit is time-consuming, so that we stay 4 nights with the 3-day pass only the Castel Sant'Angelo, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Villa Borghese (reduced price only) and the Vatican with St. Peter's Basilica. We were also very close to the Spanish Steps, the 4-Fountain, the Piazza del Popolo, the Pantheon, the National Monument V.Emmanuele and the Trevi Fountain. You have to have seen that too. But you do not need the passport for them and they also cost time. The passport was reasonably financially worthwhile only because we were able to make the city tour with the hop-on hop-off bus twice by mistake of the controller. One big advantage of the pass but it: The bypassing the endlessly long lines at the box office. That was very useful to us at the Castel Sant'Angelo, at the Roman Forum and at the Vatican and that is also worth something. However, you still have to have your luggage scanned everywhere as in the airport and it also costs a lot of time. Conclusion: The pass would have to be cheaper.
The Hop On Hop Off Tour was a bit disappointing, little information
The description of the use of the passport is not easy to understand and confusing. Visiting the sights without long queuing is very good and also the easy use of public transport is very convenient as the ticket purchase is not applicable for the time in which the pass is valid. Whether it really is a cost savings I did not recalculate exactly but it did not feel like that when I have the ticket prices overrun times.
In itself he was great, but from the descriptions we had previously understood that more than 2 attractions are included
The Rome City Pass was great. Without queuing we got through the same everywhere. Which is quite recommendable. The Hop on Hop provider was not good. Too few buses, stops hard to find. We could have saved ourselves. Only used it once. Only drove with the public.
You bypass the queues with the City Pass, but which museums are inclusive and which are only discounted is not easy to see through. The use of public transport with the pass is convenient, but often not necessary, as many attractions are within walking distance. Many discounts offered by the pass are not very attractive, as the passport should help to fill the house!
