Basically, the Turbo Pass offers advantages, but many additional attractions have to be paid separately. At a museum it was the case that as a parent we were allowed to visit this, but not our children because we did not get a museum card for them. It was said, children do not need a separate card, as these would not be charged, which in retrospect was not true, at least in this one museum.
A slightly better description of the entrance to the Vatican Museum would be helpful and the indication that there are always people who want to impose one more leadership. You lose the crowd quickly but the overview.
At the weekend we were in Rome for two and used the pass. You hardly have to use the subway there. Otherwise, the pass was quite handy for the various attractions.
Under no circumstances should be approached by the dealers in front of the Vtikan. It is in the rom Pass everything in it also the entrance directly from Sistine Chapel in the St. Peter's Basilica. They try to sell additional tickets on each corner We did not buy one and everything worked out. Unfortunately our buses were the only uncovered and the audio was not always. But everywhere else quickly in and all well. The pass was worth it. Always happy.

The City Pass has saved us valuable vacation time. If the kids have patience for the museum that's great, the queue would be really too much to ask. Hop on hop off and the use of metro and bus was quite relaxed, although the kids (6 and 9) and I had to squeeze together at the turnstile. They only had coupons and I had the city pass. That's why we could not go to the Capitoline Museum. Quirkily, the children would have had to pay admission there, but not me. Pity otherwise I could not have imagined our Rome days any more practical. Where do we have to go? Just come in!
Saved a lot of valuable time at the entrances!
In the Colosseum and in the Vatican Museum you were fast in the action thanks to a special entrance. The metro card was worth it.
The pass was definitely worth it with all its advantages and fast-lane tickets.
The pass is really worth it, no hiring and waiting. Just pass the long queues :)
Super thing, but since all churches and the Pantheon are free entry, the value for money should be considered. You have to calculate exactly if it's worth it. The help of the staff (for example at the Villa Borgehse) was very good. Has everything worked, and you save a lot of waiting time in the queue (eg at the Coliseum)
The day at the Colosseum and Forum Romanum was very relaxed, the Vatican Museums were exhausting. For the St. Peter's Basilica, I recommend an audio guide. It is always worthwhile to go to a side street to eat, as it is much cheaper and more relaxed there.
Such a passport is definitely recommended for every tourist. However, if everyone had him, then the benefits would be partly gone ...;) Only the integrated "city bus tour" was not so great. Since this is cooperated with one of the "cheapest" companies and thus you can not sit in the "most beautiful bus".
The well shortened queuing at St. Peter's Basilica, Castel Sant'Angelo, Vatican Museums and Collosseum worked very well. The validity of 72 hours from the first application works well, so that on the calendar 4th day still "remaining time" was usable. Indisputable is the hop on hop off bus CityRoma, which is served with only 2-3 buses, which has very long waiting times (in our case 60 minutes!). In addition, in the off-season during the day, the timetables changed and the last round trip canceled, so we received the lapidary information after walking for 20 minutes, we could still ride 1 stop. The morning schedule (in the photo on the left) and evening (on the right, pinned note) on the bus were fundamentally different, the information on the homepage completely different. Here must urgently be remedied or the provider to be changed.
If you want to discover a lot, it is well equipped. Some wait at the Coliseum.
Now this pass was worth the price with the Skip the Line Vatican pass and the Hop-On Hop-Off bus day pass! The line to get into The Vatican is fierce. So glad we had those passes. My only complaint is that the instructions are not very clear as to where exactly we need to go to pick them up. I don't understand why there isn't an email option and why we have to go and pick them up. When we finally found the store, our tour had left already and the woman there was incredibly nasty and rude. She said we lost the ticket and there was no chance to make it up. We ended up going to the Vatican City gates ourselves and the guards honored the pass. The pass included entrance to the Colosseum which was amazing. This was the last stop of your trip and we were all Museum'd out after our day in The Vatican. It also includes a pass for the local transportation which we didn't really use too often. I definitely recommend this pass for 1st time visitors to Rome but try and buy it early so you can have it mailed to you before the trip and you wont have to deal with the headache of picking it up.
The City Pass was great, because you could easily overtake the ticket queue and thus immediately was inside. This was a great advantage for us, especially in the Colosseum and the Sistine Chapel. Unfortunately, it took us some time to find the exit point of the pass, which was hidden in one of the souvenir shops in St. Peter's Square at the very back and was not well signposted. It is therefore really advisable to order the passport in time, so that it can be delivered by post. 4 stars so for the latter reason. Otherwise really only to be recommended.
In fact, we only went to the Formum Romanum and only because the pocket control was tedious. Highly recommended is the 3-day pass, if you stay 5 days. Then you can make all the cost-intensive on the three passport days and then everything cheap. For the local traffic and the airport transfer you do not need the pass. All routes, even to Ostia cost only 1.50 € per person.
Overall, the pass is recommended. We could pass the queues. Unfortunately sometimes information about the extent of the booking or visit is missing. So we did not know that when visiting the Vatican - museums - the gardens were not there and to do it is utopian. Otherwise, the passport did what was promised.
