Since I had great experiences with the Turbo Pass Hamburg, it was clear to me to select this passport again on our visit to Rome. In short: I felt really ripped off and will not recommend this pass! Some details: The ticket for the bus (Sit Bus) to pay extra from the airport to the Termini, as we got to the bus it was already full and we had to wait another 1/2 -3/4 hour for the next bus. The journey took more than an hour. Although more expensive by train but much faster. In order to get to the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, I have to book a guided tour, as all scheduled times were given for weeks. The museum Doria Pamphilj gallery with private rooms should be € 5 cheaper - city pass for € 5 - absolutely not correct as there is no agreement with Rome City Pass. The entrance costs therefore € 12 extra and add € 2 for the living space per person (if you are there before ...) Roma 3D was also a number! Should be free admission, arrived there "unfortunately no" until May, we get a ticket, should the entrance be possible, then it is free? Of course, I will fly back to Rome in two months and redeem this voucher! The pastry delivery is free, but you have to be brave. The suitcases are in a separate room, no door and no staff to pay attention. When I picked up my suitcase (yes, he was still there), nobody really noticed.
I had bought a 3 day pass and I found it pretty expensive. Instead of buying turbo pass I would recommend buying Roma pass and purchase hop-on hop-off separately.
You pay to be able to pass snakes. After payment comes an email that this is no longer the case with the Colloseum. It takes 2 hours to get a time like the Vatican. Thus absolutely overpriced and meaningless !! Conditions to change after payment is limited to fraud!
The Rome line buses were totally filthy instead of info only rushing or whistling connections for headphones fell partially from the wall. For the time window in the Colosseum 2.5 hours waiting in line. Overseas totally overcrowded almost everything went on foot the Vatican card was usable. I would never buy these tickets again
The only positive was the skip the line at the coliseum -on off bus horribale
Customer service horribale
No map to tell you where
For my 7 day stay in Rome, I bought the 6-day pass. It was VERY annoying to get the passport ned via e-mail. I had to look for it eternally in Rome. Among other things, with this pass you can go on a sightseeing bus for one day - the City Roma bus - annoyingly the worst of them all. Dirty, disorganized and he drives VERY seldom. There is no plan either. There are entries to many museums and attractions, more than you can visit at this time. What was very convenient, was that you can always drive with this pass for free with the public transport.
Were not satisfied. The pickup at the Vatican an impudence. Had to wait forever since staff awkward, slow and unfriendly. The HopOn HopOff provider does not have that many buses and we had to wait forever for the buses. When we wanted to do the evening tour we would simply be informed that the specified departure times have been changed and unfortunately we can not do any tour, although otherwise stated. Turbopass would buy in any case, but individually with other providers.
At the Collosseum we had to queue just as long as the people without a passport, ie the queue for passport holders was just as long. Many museums are free anyway. For the Vatican, we had to upgrade to 20.- Euro, to come without a snake in St. Peter's Basilica. The ride on public transport in Rome is very cheap (1,50 euros for 100 minutes). Since you can do a lot of walking, you do not have to drive much. In our opinion, so the pass is worth in any way. On the contrary. Without we would have spent less money. On three days you do not even have the time to visit so many attractions that the passport is worthwhile.
Many promises, nothing is respected. Without queuing? 45 minutes at the Colosseum, 2 hours at other attractions. Direct booking at the sights is considerably cheaper.
The turbo-pass Rome is just as bad as that of Barcelona. There are no benefits except for the free admission to the Castel Sant'Angelo. If you want to visit the cathedral in the Vatican, which you should definitely do, you need an extra ticket, which is not included in the turbo pass. Best booked a guided tour, then you spared the disappointment and annoyances of the turbo pass. Again, the worst Bigbus company, it is saved where you can. Our big bus tour (city Roma) had the longest waiting intervals (20-25min compared to the other companies 5-8min)
The main problem was the hopeless overcrowding of the sights in October: at Castel Sant'Angelo, access to the queue was denied (Reason: too many visitors.) In the Vatican Museums I was able to pass the queue as booked, yet the overcrowding was In the Forum Romanum, the entrance was easy, but within the forum more entrance fees were required to visit some special details My conclusion: My next Rome vacation I will compete without Turbopass and before Ort decide if it makes sense to acquire a Roma passport
Dear customer, thank you for your rating. We very much regret that our Rome City Pass did not meet your high expectations. Unfortunately, we can not understand what is the reason for your dissatisfaction. As we always want to improve our products, our support team would be very happy to receive your detailed feedback. Best regards, Your Turbopass Team
Unfortunately very confusing !! for the purpose of visiting museums. Only 2 admissions free although it would have to be 3 for a 3 day ticket according to the description. That's why I can not recommend it !!!!!!!!
except for the short arrival times in front of a handful of sights, the expensive Rome Pass is useless. The bus tour, which can only be done in one day, is probably the most run-down in town. Even the included card is of inferior quality.
The short-term order of the 3-day version incl. Colosseum and Vatican for two people and the pickup suburb has worked. Unfortunately, there is no question of preferred admission. You can use the group inputs instead of the normal inputs, but there are also long queues, which you can NOT handle (all have this useless passport). At the Colosseum and Roman Forum, for example, we could have waited about 1.5 hours at 32 degrees in the queue. Since we wanted to see as much as possible in four days, we then booked a guided tour to get in faster. The same thing the next day at the Vatican. We had only two attractions on our tour where we got free / discounted entry. The included use of public transport is good, but you could have significantly cheaper. Conclusion: This investment was definitely not worth it for us.
Rome City Pass was booked well in advance. After confirmation came the news that in the desired time there was no entry into the Vatican Museums. Then we canceled the City Pass, which went without a hitch. In the end, we then put forward everything individually. And lo and behold: desired dates were possible there!
The brochure that comes with the pass claims that the turbopass has free wifi around the city of Rome. We looked at both the Castle of Angels and the Trevi Fountain. There was no free wifi! Don't be fooled like we were.
Also, the pass was not really worth the money during the peak season. We went the beginning of Rome and could not see even 3 things on the list. Also, according to some of the travel guides, the free entries on the 48 hr pass were not even worth going to see.
The tickets for the hop-on-hop-off-tour could not be used immediately, but had to be picked up in the office on St. Peter's Square -> 1x across the city and the tourist crowds, absolutely unnecessary and TIMELY! The codes did not work on the Collosseum, we had to talk to a lot of people, count out the mails, confirmations, etc., prove that we bought the tickets until we were given "kulanterweise" replacement tickets - otherwise we would not be there again had to go to the office in St. Peter's Square? The app with the audio guide crashed again and again and gave in Petersdorm exclusively information about the statues, popes etc, no structural / architectural information -> Everything in ALL chaotic, NOT comfortable and the time we spend with the expensive "fast-lane "Saved / bought" tickets were needed to solve problems
Save yourself the money for the pass and buy your tickets on the spot, so you have an overview and in the end you save even more money.
The only thing we used was the hop on and hop off bus and the metro. For the Coliseum, the pass on Easter Sunday was not valid, only on Easter Monday, only we have since left again. Thus, the € 160,00 were really bad.
