The main advantage of the City Pass is that it eliminates waiting times; you simply skip the queues. The entitlements provided by this pass cannot even be used for the 6 days we used. But the advantages of eliminating waiting times outweigh the disadvantages. It's a shame that we found the "wrong information" on site at the Roman Forum that with our entry to the Colosseum we could also visit the Roman Forum beforehand and then visit the Colosseum because we kept to the entry time printed on the voucher. That wasn't true, so we had to queue again for the Colosseum and pay the entrance fee. But that wasn't a fault of Turbopass.
Everything you need for a stay in the city is included in the pass. This saves you a lot of time and nerves on site. Quick response to questions.
We were informed about the turbo ticket by friends before our trip and were able to make good use of the advantage. We were able to use most of the entries that were on the list. Only at Panteon it was not accepted, even after repeated requests and reference to the information about the turbo ticket. It was particularly helpful and convenient to use the Turbiticket at the Vatican Museum and the Colosseum, as was the bus for the city tour and the Da Vinci Museum.
At the big highlights such as the Colosseum, Castel Sant'Angelo and the Vatican Museums you can skip the long queues and get in quickly. The HopOnHop Off bus is not that great: not so good explanations, quite slow for us because it makes longer stops in places where you can't see anything. A round trip through Rome takes 2 hours. , but only about 30 minutes are really interesting. In addition, the HopOnHopOff runs standard routes like the normal buses; it would be nicer if it went to highlights that are less easily accessible. And when it rains the bus is full or only has wet seats. You can only get some tickets if the Turbopass finds people in front of the attraction. It works, but it's a bit more complicated. And some of the museums that are included in the package don't have to be seen, for example the wax museum, which is only bearable if you have a child in tow. And if you miss the time slot for one of the highlights (regardless of the reason), then you don't have a second chance.
With the Turbopass you can travel cheaper to the attractions Colosseum, Vatican Museums etc. and you don't have to queue. Insider tip: Leonardo Da Vinci Museum Not recommended: video game museum
We really liked the Rome City Pass. Handing over the card for local transport was very uncomplicated at the specified location. All entries worked well. Unfortunately, I was unable to transfer both the ticket and the pass to my mobile device. That should just be possible.
Everything was as described and as ordered.
We found the compilation of the highlights to be very good. Some special sights were also explained through an audio commentary. We liked that. On site we had almost no problem with the recognition of the Turbopasse for admission tickets. We were at Castel Sant'Angelo, in the Pantheon, in the underground exhibitions at the Trevi Fountain and at Navona Square (very worth seeing), in the Baths of Caracalla and in the Multimedia Museum. We were unable to book the highlights Colloseum, Palatine, Roman Forum and Vatican Museums in advance due to busy schedules. We had booked for 7 days, which was also redeemed for bus, tram and metro. But it could have been cheaper locally. The ticket for the hop-on-hop-off bus was reduced to just 48 hours. So the Turbopass was convenient for us but expensive. Note: We had also booked tickets with GetYourGuide, but they turned out to be a flop on site.
- many entrance fees for sights included, potentially saving you long waiting times - easy to book and use
My son and I went on vacation with the Rome Turbopass. We had the pass for 5 days with an airport transfer, the Vatican Museums, a week's metro and bus card and the Colosseum with the Roman Forum. Sending and booking online worked perfectly - the Turbopass team not only spoke to me before we left, but also We were always there during our stay and answered all of our questions online straight away. Thank you very much for that! The queues in Rome were often shorter thanks to our Turbopass, but they didn't stop there.Unfortunately! We had the app (map of Rome) on our cell phone, but it was less helpful. We also had a bus timetable with Maps and so the app wasn't used much. The sights could also be better described in the app - like a city guide. Therefore, unfortunately only 4 stars - but I would book the Turbopass again at any time, as there is no annoying queuing for tickets - only queuing for entry! Thanks to the Turbopass team for your endless patience!!!
Parts of the delivery were late, but could be downloaded with a cell phone and could also use the entries without paper printing
In general, the city pass is a great thing. We basically didn't have to line up anywhere. Unfortunately, the employees were often difficult to find (Engelsburg) - especially if you've never done it before and don't know what the procedure is. Unfortunately, we were hardly able to save ourselves anything, even though we really looked at a lot of things from the pass. I wouldn't recommend the bus transfer as we had to wait a long time. The train would be better. It's just a little more expensive. Our 4-day pass with metro and bus transfer cost just under 150 euros and we saved almost 10 euros if you compare the entrance fees online. lg
Everything worked as described. You should only take out the hop on off bus offer. This bus runs very rarely and when it comes it is already full. This creates frustration. And that's not good, especially on vacation. Then it's better not to make this offer.
Everything worked well, I would have just preferred it if we had received the passport a little earlier, not a day before, but otherwise everything was great.
The pass has a lot of attractions on offer and everything worked very well. The only drawback are the hop on, hop off buses, as they were usually very overcrowded and waited too long at different stops.
Turbopass received on time, everything was described very well. The redemption on site was sometimes quite complicated. You have to look for an office where you can get vouchers that you can then exchange for the entrance ticket at the respective attraction. But since you have to reserve an appointment for the most important things and they are fully booked months in advance, the only option was a city pass. You should not take advantage of additional offers (airport transfer, public transport ticket). The redemption is very complicated (of the three redemption points specified, it was only possible at the newspaper kiosk at the train station). Since we didn't live near it, we had to spend a morning doing it! For the transfer it is better to take the train.
Excellent pass for Rome, vast variety of locations/museums to visit. The communication with the staff was very fast and productive.
Four stars only because you cannot add the pass to your phone and need to keep it on paper. After purchase you get the pass in pdf document. Yes, you can open the pdf from the phone but it is not so easy as if the pass was digital with QR code. If you use the pass as printed document, after a few days it gets very trashy and it is not convenient to use, if damaged, cannot be scanned easily. Please think in a way to make the pass digital.
The turbo pass was great especially if you get the “skip the line” tickets. We walked past hours of wait time, and walked right into the entrance in both the Vatican museums and the Coliseum. The only reason for not giving a five star review is that the transport passes had to be picked up in the center which means you have to plan your travel time around that. We were staying outside of the center and had busy plans early on. The place to get your local travel pass is only open during certain times. It would be much more beneficial to have those passes emailed. That way people will have them when the get there and not have to figure out where to buy tickets.
For Rome beginners like us, the Turbopass is a good option. But we would have gotten off cheaper without him. In addition, some important attractions are not included, such as the Villa Borghese Museum. So check beforehand what is important to you. Important: public transport tickets can no longer be picked up at Via della Conciliazione, 4, as stated in the description. We first had to take the hop on hop off bus to the main train station.
I purchased the Rome 4 day pass with added transport to the city and I’m so glad I did. I was skeptical after reading some negative reviews but my experience was really positive. We got the time bookings that we requested for the Vatican and Colloseum ( slight delay to receive the colloseum ones), and seeing the crazy queues on the days it was a no brainer that we had the passes. Collection for tickets was opposite the Vatican entrance, very convenient. Pantheon now needs to be booked which is a new thing but a member of Turbopass with tickets outside the building to collect. We did everything on our list and didn’t use it to the maximum but it was so convenient. Would recommend. The Hop on Hop off bus was very illusive and not available when we needed it but I used a Citymapper app and the buses were super easy to use . 1.5 € .
