Unfortunately, no VIP entry was available for the Colosseum. But got back money for that. Also, not all attractions are included (eg Castel Sant'Angelo). But everything else without problems.
OK
For us, the whole thing was more of a zero number. If you plan other visits, the pass may be worth it, we did not save anything with Pass. We had visited the Vatican Museums, the Collosseum, Forum Romanu and Castel Sant'Angelo. Had we also visited various museums or other - with pass - free sites, he might have been profitable.
In the Vatican it was very helpful. One came to the queues over. In the Coliseum you had to wait anyway. For the Castel Sant'Angelo there was no discount. The Forum Romanum was anyway no queue and more was not possible in two days.
During our stay in Rome, attractions had free admission - eg the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum. Due to the Rome City Pass only the waiting time was shortened, purely financially the pass was not worth it.
We used the pass for 5 days in Rome and while it worked great from the transportation part we had lots of problems with museum and attractions entrances. The pass only worked at a few museums even though they were on the list.
No problem getting the turbopass, but you have to wait 24 hours to receive it by e-mail. Really tidy access to the Vatican, Colosseum and Forum. The documentation accompanying the pass is false and very incomplete. The famous BLEUS buses of the "Hop On Hop Off" system are actually RED and it is absolutely impossible to get on board as they are crowded and rare. We lost a lot of time and finally gave up after leaving 5 or 6 ... Too bad there is not a plan for the situation of museums whose entry is included in the past. Not practical!
Unfortunately we were not informed before that the entrance to the Galleria Borghese must be booked in advance. So we went there in vain and would have received a ticket only three weeks later.
We had the pass for 3 days, especially to pass the snakes. Unfortunately, this worked only conditionally. The entrance to the Castel Sant'Angelo and also to the Vatican Museums worked very smoothly - without queuing. However, it looked different then at the Coliseum and the Roman Forum. There we stood despite time card (Kollosseum) and valid ticket (Forum Romanum) for a long time in the queue. Organizationally there were unfortunately too long waiting times. What we very much regret is that the entrance to the Palatin Museeum should actually be included in the passport - according to the brochure, but we did not get admission there, since the entry in the Rome City Pass is not included
For my daughter (12 years) I would not buy anymore. At Forum Romanum we would still have to hire you.
Basically, everything was fine. We did not have to queue anywhere. The obligatory bag checks have to be done anyway (in March it took about 10 minutes to queue up). I would book each performance separately next time, even if it costs a bit more. Then you can divide your day as you like
Entrance to the Vatican Museums worked out great. We could not use Metro because of a strike (was also extremely bad signposted).
All good just hopon hopof was a disappointment
3-day turbo pass means exploring Rome for 3 days at turbo-pace. That can also degenerate into stress. You barely have time to record something in peace, because you want to take advantage of the passport. Annoying was that for turbo pass holders for the Coliseum a prior appointment was needed, which was not communicated in the passport information. Good is the unlimited use of public transport.
Could hop in Hip Off comfortably drive through the city and arbitrarily on and off. Something confusing that was not exactly described where the stops are (were too little info). There are a lot of different agencies there and a lot of buses. Could many sightseeing without long queuing visit.
There is a private entrance at the main attractions and you do not have to queue in front of the ticket counter.

Pro: - Check in to the sightseeing attractions worked fine (Vatikan, Kolloseum etc)
- Public traffic was fine as well
- 'One Card (Rom pass) only' for all attractions instead of many different
Con: - A lot of the other attractions were not completly for free, but only reduced price
- Rom pass did not always work perfectly when using the metro (only minor issue)
- In general one pay more on top than expected
- Flow of Information: On one day puplic transport personal was striking --> a short message from turbopass
would have been nice; also updates of what is going on during the trip (evetns, strikes, demonstrations,
everything which could enrich or effect the trip) would have been good.
The Turbopass has not been so financially worth it, because you just in the said time just a part of the attractions contained therein creates. The bus tour was really only ok, but the buses were very run down and we had to wait a long time. The good thing, however, was that you could bypass the really long queues and thus come directly to the security checkpoints (Colosseum, Roman Forum and Vatican Museums).
Pass benefited us. It is definitely recommended to buy tickets and tickets in advance. Whether via Turbopass o. Directly at the individual providers. It really is worth it with children up to 10 years in Rome, as they drive for free with the public and many entries are free.
