It was just great ... a thousand people, but you just pass it and even the barrier is accompanied - the Turbo Pass VIP: D We really exhausted the HOP ON HOP OFF tour, was great and super practical. The public transport was also okay, but there would be really great if the train was also included (within the city area) - for the price that would go out already;) We were more than happy to have him and I would do exactly the same again, otherwise we would have the whole attractions NEVER and NIMMER in our 3-day stay can accommodate (and even without waiting would almost run out with the flight home;))
We had a turbo pass for 3 days and drove very well. It was extremely convenient to have the right ticket for everything, no matter whether it was a bus, subway or entrance to various sights. Everywhere we walked easily past the long queues, which was very pleasant especially with the Vatican Museums and the Coliseum. We only had to wait a long time for the hop-on-hop-off bus so that we barely thought it would come at all. Other providers drove with a much narrower clocking.
Using the Roma pass proved to be a great experience. It's the first time I use such system, but I will do that again. There are so many places were without it you'd have to wait hours (Vatican is the worst for that) without it! The bus tour was a first for me too, but it interesting in the end: it's a nice way to see parts of the town you'd not necessarily see, and hear stories you'd not know about otherwise. Very pleasant!
It's a very usefull card that will allow you not to waste precious time on the queues.
The only problem was that the pickup point was closed (tecnhical problems) and no one warn us and we had to go 2km to the next pick up point. You should have the possibility to send just buy email a code, no need to pick up a virtual card. Or maybe on the monuments we should be able to get it there.
But all the rest was very good.
In itself, the Roma pass is great. You can avoid the queuing at the main attractions, especially at the Vatican, and it works as it is described. Among other things, there are also valuable tips and tricks that really work (for example, to get from the Sistine Chapel directly to St. Peter's Basilica). Nevertheless, within the scope of the museums only through the Roma Pass would be free museums, anyway, are free. But all in all worth the Roma pass, because you really have nowhere to queue and thus everything is very fast.
The public transport in Rome is always overcrowded. The city tour is not optimal, since the busses contained in the pass, only very rarely come (all other providers have much more buses in circulation) and not all stops were approached. The tickets for the Colosseum and the Vatican were great - right past the snake.
Everything is included, the price is a bit too high!
Everything was perfect, we really got through everywhere right away without getting up. However, the Schriftl.Info, at 6 days to use the passports successively, is not correct, it is everywhere required both.
The most important sights are already included, what more could you want. The included hop-on-hop-off tour could be better. Only a few sights are presented here. All public transport is included (bus, tram, metro). Note: book well in advance, so you also in sights, where you need a viewing appointment (Vatican). Service is great! Since we were too late, we have the costs that would have incurred for the Vatican, get refunded. If the transfer from the airport Fiumicino could be booked, you would have a carefree package.
Without appropriate pass eternal waiting. Unprecedented book a pass before.
It was only a one day Hop On Hopp Off Bus ticket on a 3-day pass. Furthermore, the limited entries interfere. But basically the offer was ok
Unfortunately, we had the city tour bus line with the worst timing, probably the least buses in this line. We had to pass 3 - 4 buses of the other lines, until finally a bus of our line came. Bad too: Our bus line has apparently only convertible - versions without a roof which in the rainy weather, which we had of course was very bad: the bus was empty above, crowded down, so the city tour was really not recommended. Great was the use of public transport, as well as a lot of historic buildings that we looked at.
I would do that again and again.
Vatican without queuing, great, great service
A little tip on the spot: If you decide to book the pass, you should regularly check your mails in the next few days. The pass will only be sent when the date for the Vatican visit is known. So if the desired date is not free, you will get another date proposal - and only with approval, the pass will be sent. But: The service was very helpful in this regard. When the pass did not arrive in time by mail, he could easily be transferred to "pickup". And otherwise, the pass has saved me long queues and constant ticket purchases.
Rome is always really busy no matter what time of year you go. Don't let it spoil your enjoyment! The pass was very beneficial for attractions such as the Colosseum, and the Vatican. Skip some of the lines with the pass, otherwise wait for hours in a long queue. (potentially in very hot weather being constantly bombarded by sellers offering water and souvenirs.) It does not work for the queue at St Peters. Be prepared for a long wait or go at the end of the day!
We used the pass to its fullest. We rate it highly for the travel, which we used extensively esp as we were staying outside of the city center. It's easy to use.
The only dissatisfaction was the open top bus ride. As a party of 5 spanning 3 generations, not one of us thought that the bus tour was worth it. It was really crowded and we had to stand part of the way. There was no air con and the temperature was in the 30's outside. The audio guide only worked on 2 out of the 3 connections. The ticket exchange process was very long and took another 15 mins wait.
Read the booklet that comes with the tickets, it gives good all round info on the passes uses.
With our Turbo Pass for Rome we have saved a lot of time and nerves again. Especially that I did not have to constantly get tickets helped me a lot because I do not speak Italian. The entries without waiting time have saved us a lot of time and were very straightforward.
For me, it has proven once again that such a city pass can save a lot of time and nerves. Especially with the skip-the-line entries we saved a lot of time. Also just to jump in a public transport without always having to look for tickets before was very relaxed. Unfortunately, the Unterlangen have not arrived in time, but also here was quickly remedied and the documents were issued on the spot in Rome. All in all, I was very happy with my decision for the map.
Has all worked great, past the snake is worth gold! Time was too short for the Hop on Off bus tour. Can only recommend the pass!
Pros:
Easier than going thru 3 websites and purchased the individual passes
The pick-up process is fast and easy
Cons:
The Hop-on/off bus is not very useful. It is easier/faster to take the bus and walk.
You could save more if you purchase the tickets on your own for Teen and Child
Overall, I would recommend this to people who prefer spending a few more euros for the convenience of 1 stop shopping
