We booked the Rome pass for four days including tickets for the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum etc. We did not book tickets for public transport and the transfer from/to the airport. Everything went smoothly and redeeming the tickets didn't require any inhuman effort: We arrived at the end of February on a Thursday morning. You can take the train from the airport to the main station for €14 per person (without stopping). From there we took the subway to the center. This was very crowded at lunchtime. But there are also nicer ways to get around Rome at other times of the day. We activated the Rome Pass on Thursday afternoon and picked up the "vouchers" for Castel Sant'Angelo (Friday 10 a.m.) and the Pantheon (Saturday 10 a.m.) in the Torustation opposite the entrance to the Vatican Museums (address: Viale Vaticano 97, 00192 Rome ). On Friday at 9:55 a.m., right next to the bridge opposite the entrance to Castel Sant'Angelo, we were able to get the ticket for St. Angelo's Castle from a nice lady in an obvious red jacket upon presentation of our "voucher" that had been paid for the day before. The early appointment was worth it; around midday it became noticeably more crowded. Shortly before 2 p.m. in the afternoon we went back to the tourist station at the Vatican. After presenting your Rome passport you were brought across the street to the entrance to the Vatican Museums and then inside. You should plan plenty of time for this visit because there is an awful lot to see. We were there from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and would have liked to have stayed longer. On Saturday we had to look for the lady with the red jacket in front of the Pantheon because she was quite far away at the edge of the square in front of it. But here too we were able to get our ticket without any problems. The Pantheon doesn't take more than half an hour to visit. After several stops, we were in front of the Colosseum around 12:30. Here we were initially sent away and asked to come back in 15 minutes because our ticket was only booked for 1 p.m. You also have to show your ID card. For those super interested, it may be worth knowing that there is a full-access ticket that entitles you to climb the highest heights of the Colosseum. We only found out about it on site and therefore didn't book it. To access Paltin Hill and the Roman Forum, after leaving the Colosseum you have to cross the street and then queue up (waiting time 15 minutes). Apparently only groups have priority entry here. I believe there is a second entrance on the other side of the site. However, I don't have any further information about the entry process there. On Sunday and Monday we took advantage of the hop-on / hop-off city tour and drove across the city to visit various attractions (Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Circus Maximus, ...). Receiving the ticket went smoothly at the stop (in our case the main train station): there was an employee on the bus who handed out the tickets upon presentation of the Rome Pass. All in all, we didn't get any price advantage because we didn't take advantage of all the offers on the pass. Nevertheless, it was worth it because we had everything from one source and, apart from the Palatine Hill/Roman Forum, we never had to wait in line. In general it was certainly good to be there early in the year. It was already very full in places (Colosseum, Vatican) - it's hard to imagine how it compares to the peak season in summer. And then at 30+ degrees Celsius. However, we actually had some bad weather (6-10 degrees and showers). April or May are probably more suitable months to travel. Then the numerous trees in the city will certainly have leaves and will no longer look dead. And you can experience Italian culture much better when you end the day in the alleys in the restaurant in the evening. Rome's attractions are really worth seeing and impressive. The Rome City Pass is a great tool for this.
In order to receive all tickets, it is important to read the documents that will be sent to you by email carefully! Planning takes a little time (1-2 hours), but can be done easily from home before the trip. Otherwise everything worked wonderfully!
As always, everything was simple again; Booked two things from Germany beforehand and got the others in Rome without any problems.
The Rome City Pass saves time and money.
Everything was well organized and implemented, we can only recommend entry to the booked sights without queuing and redeeming tickets at the corresponding tourist point.
Entrance fees for the most important sights included, hardly any queues, flyers not so clear, well organized, staff always approachable and helpful.
Only recommend
Having such a pass saves money and time and helps you not miss anything. Entrance fees, public transport, tours, what more do you need? A really, really great thing. Only recommended.

We used the three-day pass and had easy access to the Colosseum and the Vatican Museum. We also went on a sightseeing tour with it.
We were completely satisfied and happy that we 'stumbled' across the TurboPass. Simple explanation, thanks to the list we knew exactly where we could go and where access was included. There were no problems on site. I will definitely use the TurboPass again at the next opportunity
Perfect. The Rome city pass allowed us to save time, especially at the Vatican Museum.
The Turbo Pass worked excellently, there were no waiting times at the Vatican Museum or the Colosseum. Entry to Castel Sant'Angelo is also easy. Hop on hop off was great, we used the bus intensively for two days. Pass is absolutely recommended.
I saw and experienced everything important to me in 7 days. The app has room for improvement in route planning and display on the display. More flexible offers for public transport would be desirable. Eg. not 3 days in a row, but three separate days in a longer period of time.
We never had to wait in line for long as the Colosseum and Vatican Museum were pre-booked with time slots. We hardly used the public transport ticket because we could reach almost everything on foot. Our hotel was located in Travestere, which we can only recommend because of the many restaurants.
Everything worked great and saw several sites that had not been planned.
