It's a shame that you always have to pick up the tickets on site before you can use them, which is a bit inconvenient, especially for public transport. But they also have many advantages - we almost didn't have to queue.
Apart from our pre-booking for the Vatican, everything actually went well. Apparently there were no more available appointments, even though we had booked in advance. We then had to book tickets for the guided Vatican tour from another provider - who also had places for us at short notice - for a much higher price (because once you're there, you'll go there). Communication with Turbo-Pass was a bit slow, but always friendly. We used a few things that were included in the pass and everything went smoothly. So overall, the pass was pretty good :)
Tickets for the Colosseum and Vatican Museums are highly recommended. Past the queue and quickly enter via the group entrance. Booking with a time slot is highly recommended. Best early in the morning. There's not too much going on there yet. It was worth it for the local transport in the city and the hop-on-hop-off bus. Also for the airport transfer. Please note that the bus runs when it is full. No matter how many are still outside. The weather was far too nice to visit a museum. Otherwise it was worth it.
The pass is great if you want to spend four or five days in Rome and mainly want to visit the big sights. Unfortunately our tickets for the Vatican were canceled shortly before departure, so we didn't get to see the Sistine Chapel. But maybe our decision for the pass was a little too late... accordingly: we were very satisfied with the pass and were always able to get to the sights quickly! What really needs improvement: the tickets should simply be made available electronically. So we even had to go to the main train station for our bus tickets because they weren't available at the other pick-up stations and sometimes to the tourist office to have tickets converted into real tickets there. We found that very complicated.
Positive: very practical, especially for not queuing at the entrances or chasing tickets Negative: very very expensive
A little confusing, otherwise good
You can see a lot in 3 days, but not everything. The pass definitely helps with planning. The app needs improvement. It would be great if you could, for example, save the booked and included admissions there. The navigation in the app is also rather old-fashioned. The fact that you can skip the queues if you have booked entry in advance using the pass is brilliant and you should definitely do it. The signage in Rome and in front of the sights is virtually non-existent, so Rome could still improve. We hardly saw anyone without cell phone navigation, so you miss out on paying attention to your surroundings and any other sights on the way to the next attraction.
The reserved dates for the Vatican Museums and Colosseum were great. The local transport ticket and the city tour were also great. But I would also like to have a reserved airport transfer, preferably around the clock or at least more than once an hour. Otherwise, Rome is a very exciting city and definitely worth a second or third visit.
You save a lot of time. No queuing or buying tickets. For us, the 7-day ticket for public transport was our favorite because the buses are always very full and stamping is difficult and the controls are strict. HipHop Bus wasn't that big of a hit. All in all a good investment.
The transport pass proved very useful, especially as we commuted from Ostia to the city. Most museums accepted the pass, though not the Capitoline Museum or Ostia Antica. The bus tour of Rome was spoiled by the rude aggressive attitude of the woman on the bus. The pre booked entry to the Colosseum and Vatican was great. Overall, four stars out of five.
We thought the tips about the sights were great and we didn't have to wait in long queues for many attractions. We would have found it better if the tickets for public transport or the tickets for the sights had been sent along.
Thanks to this pass you can actually skip the endless queues at the sights. And with free ÖVM you really save money and nerves. The only shame is that the navigation in the app doesn't have a street directory.
Highly recommended, the ticket for local transport should already be available at the airport!
We can only recommend the Turbopass. You can quickly get to the selected sights without queuing. Service is excellent, our questions were answered immediately by email. Rome with the Citypass is worth a trip.
We were very satisfied because using the means of transport was very easy. The booking in the Vatican Museum worked, no waiting time. Unfortunately the tours were only in English or Italian, although booked in German. This resulted in additional costs for us.
The biggest advantage of the Turbopass was the entry to the Colosseum and the Sistine Chapel at the desired times without queuing. Converting the public transport ticket was a challenge - read the instructions carefully :). Attention Pantheon now requires entry!! The turbo pass was worth it.
Very easy to access colosseum, forum, castel st angelo, and Vatican museums with skip the line access.
Gladly again at any time! It would be nice if all tickets could be made available digitally
Since my wife and I decided to visit Rome at the beginning of September, we found that it was still very crowded. Therefore, I can only recommend everyone to get up early and beat the crowds. Being one of the first to stand on top of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica was fantastic. It is not recommended to visit the Vatican Museums after 10:30 a.m. The Sistine Chapel loses its venerability due to the crowds.
Trastevere district recommended in the evening
