It is worth it because of the prompt delivery and the uncomplicated use on the spot. :)
The Venice Pass is great for a city trip. The use was easy and we were able to save time with the preferred entrance at the Doge Palace. We especially enjoyed the boat trip on the Grand Canal.
We were the first time in Venice and could easily get to know the city with the Venice City Pass. We were able to visit the museums without any major problems with the pass and the Canal Grande tour was an absolute highlight for us! The pass has definitely paid off for us :)
Can highly recommend the Venice City Pass. Great way to discover the city and save money! Was the first time in Venice, an absolutely worth seeing city! Gondola ride, pretty canals and generally much to experience. Practically also the airport transfer and that one comes without a long wait in the Dogenpalast. We will be back.
Used turbo pass for our recent trip to Venice.
Really important to read all the instructions and small print for all the individual passes as you have to do something different with all of them - once we figured this out they worked fine

Ticket pickup went well. We were late for the meeting point on the Grand Canal ride because we got lost on our first day in Venice. However, we were able to reschedule without any problems. In general, the Turbo Pass includes too many activities. You definitely need more time if you want to experience many of them.
We had the TP in Venice for three days. If you plan everything well, you can see many sights. Plus, you don't have to wait in line at some attractions and can go in at your chosen time. It saves time and money. Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic time in Venice. We had some great experiences and got to know the city and the surrounding islands.
I bought the 3-Day pass, without transportation, and could not begin to visit all of the places included. I went in late March with St. Mark's the only thing I schedule ahead. Otherwise, I was able to go to the waterfront and get time slots for the gondola ride, grand canal tour, and visit to Murano/Burano with no problem. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because the app does not work without a SIM card or Wi-Fi. Thankfully, there was public Wi-Fi in the waterfront ticketing area but otherwise everything needs to be screenshot before leaving the accommodation.
This City Pass made it easier for us to discover Venice and the other islands. We think that this offer: - should be expanded to other sites and museums to be fully satisfied with it - should be richer in advice to enjoy each chosen visit. - should offer basic transport to discover them. In conclusion, we appreciated this City Pass, as the easiest way to discover Venice, but it must be able to evolve in its offer and be richer in its advice to make us want to return to Venice.
The value for money is unbeatable. Almost all the tourist activities in Venice are included. The ideal is to take 5 days to do everything. However, some institutions do not know the pass, you have to systematically explain how it works to the uncomprehending ticket office staff, but it ends up being arranged...
Very practical pass but you have to go to the agency near the vaporetto to exchange the vouchers which are not always accepted as is. Trip to the islands too short. Boat excursion on the Grand Canal useless if you use the vaporetto. Discovery of Venice useless. The chorus pass does not cover all the churches For the rest very practical and avoids many queues....
You don't have to book the extra ticket for the cathedral. It's really quick anyway. But you're pushed through the cathedral. You have to pay again in the cathedral for the gallery, etc. That's a shame. You should also make a reservation for the gondola ride outside of the season. We were there for 2 days and got the last seats... We saw everything we wanted. I would plan a day for Burano. The island tour was well organized but we didn't even have an hour per island, which was very demanding. A flexible way to get on the boats would be better here. If you're not good on your feet, you should book the local transport ticket.
The truth is that whenever I travel I always compare the many cards that are usually available in the cities, because I love to know as much as possible and it is usually practical and more economical.
In the case of the Turbopass, I want to say that it is worth buying it, as you save a lot of money if you want to see the essentials of the city of Venice.
What I would like to add is a few nuances because there are a couple of issues that don't allow you to take full advantage of everything it has to offer.
- As it is a card that counts per day and not per hour (in other cities it starts counting from the moment you use it for the first time), you have to check the plan you want to make. I arrived in the city on a Saturday around 3pm and was leaving on Tuesday at 4pm. If it had been by the hour I could have taken advantage of it to see something on the same Saturday, but as it counted as a whole day I couldn't do it. Bearing in mind that they close everything at 17:30 in winter, the possibilities are much more limited.
- We didn't even get to use the church pass, because we didn't have any more time, and it didn't suit us very well to have to go to one of the churches to get it. Having to go physically is a bit of a hassle.
- It's a pity that none of the palaces like Ca D'oro or Ca Rezzonicco get in.
- There are very few options (or only one option and in one language) for some of the things included. For example, the visit to La Fenice only has one hour of visit and of course, this complicates the organization and the possibility to take advantage of it. For example, we didn't do the walking tour of the city because we couldn't fit in the time, the only day we could fit it in we had the entrance time for San Marco and they don't give you the option to choose.
- And finally I would like to point out that the tour of Murano, Burano and Torcello is too fast-paced. In Murano, after seeing the glass demonstration, you hardly have time to see anything. If you get a bit distracted by the factory shop, forget about seeing anything else. In Torcello, on the other hand, we had plenty of time to spare, even though there is barely a church to see. Much time in my opinion, better to spend this time un Murano. And in Burano it's something similar. It's all very fast-paced. The website also says that the visit lasts about 5 hours, but it really lasts 4.30 (what it says at the ticket office). That extra half hour would be great to be able to see Murano better, as it's a beautiful town that you'll want to see. By the way, listening to what the guide says on the boat is complicated, with the noise you can't hear well.
All of the above are things that could be improved, of course. Even so, I would still recommend it 100%, although I would still ask for information about the timetables before buying it. Because until you have it you can't see that, and because I was looking a bit before I could make the most of the card, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to plan like I did (besides, some of the visits require reservations).
Reservations or requests by email do not work (no response), so it is better to go directly to the Alilaguna San Marco ticket office to make all reservations or ask for information. The Chorus Pass cannot be collected anywhere other than in the three churches mentioned and not on Sundays since they are closed! It would be necessary to be able to collect it in another ticket office!
The Turbopass was fantastic for those who want to see it all ( or nearly all :-) )!
In stead of looking for all these individual adresses you become all you need in the documents of Turbopass ...
at once! With all the details what/where/how to visit!
One tip of advice ( that is why 4 stars and not 5 ( 4,5 was also ok ) ) : once you become all the information of Turbopass, look at Google Maps ( or another app ) where to get the tickets/passes you need.
For exemple if you've booked the airport boat ( Alilaguna ), you have to go to the desk on the airport to collect; if you've booked water transportation ( Vaporetto ), there are only a few places to collect; a.s.o..
So use your first hour to exchange your vouchers or Turbopass and you will have a tremendous, exciting and above all stressless holiday! Thank you, Turbopass! :-)
The pass makes it easier to plan sightseeing in the city. But please don't underestimate the time required for each sightseeing and tour. Set priorities! Make sure to reserve the desired sightseeing or tour date in advance (at least one day in advance) with the booking office. Unfortunately, there is only a very limited selection of German-language tours (a real shame!!). In any case, this pass is worth it with the included gondola tour. My additional tip outside of the pass: If you are looking for a popular and inexpensive restaurant in the city, just go to Cucina Da Mario in the Fondamenta Malvasia (San Marco 2614).
