The 5-day pass is a 4 (!) Days museum pass with the adults, which is kind of stupid. There is no museum passport for the children's passports, which means that the children of the Cité des Sciences are paying admission (9, -), but the adults are not. This is stupid. The Tour Montparnasse discount everyone gets with a Metro day ticket (Paris Visite), you do not need the City Pass. Since Museum Pass and City Pass are inevitably overlapping in time, if you want to visit the important museums, you have little of the extras that the City Pass offers. Conclusion: unfavorable for 5 days and for the kids actually completely thrown out money. As a 6-day pass maybe okay (there is a 6-day museum pass), if you make a tight program. It was NOT worth it for us and we made in 7 days 7 museums and Versailles. The day has just 24 hours and with an average of 17000 steps per day (despite Metro) is also for adults a third agenda item not every day an option (if any). Especially since the queues for "accès priorityitaire" were not without before the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Versailles ... at least Pentecost 2019. Conclusion: PREPARATE well and calculate. And you can give yourself the children's passports. 10er ticket for the kids you get for 7,45 EUR, day ticket for 6, - (worth it if you want on the tour Montparnasse). We still had a nice time in Paris.
I bought 4 days Paris City Pass.
Seine River Cruise is a good experience.
Same with the observation at Arc de Triomphe
But unfortunately we dont have any fast track in Versailles which is really neccessary, while fast track in Louvre doesnt mean much because you still have to take the line to pass thru security check, which made the Museum pass not worth the money.
We went to Opera house at 14:00, but the reception didnt allow us to go in with Paris City Pass because they are out of English Speaking Tour. We agreed to be toured with other languages but they didnt let us do that, or go without tourguide unless we pay for a new ticket.
The pass is not bad, but we could not use it properly. At the Louvre he saved us 90 minutes of waiting, which was very pleasing. Unfortunately he does not apply to the Eiffel Tower. So many museums, like incl. Sind, you can not possibly look at (on the 4 booked) days and for that he is actually too expensive. We arrived by plane and despite the Metro Pass (zone 1-3) we had to pay € 10 each way and person (CDG Zone 5). As well as the info used nothing that you can buy a ticket for the Zone 3-5 on site, which would be extremely cumbersome and costs € 8.60. We have in the 4 days ins. 10x used the metro, because we would have been good with a 10er Carnet for 15 €. Unfortunately, the prolonged WE in Paris (with Ascension Day) was extremely busy.
The Paris City Pass was perfect for museums, boat trips, metro, bus and RER. The city tour did not work out at all; There were 4 providers and everyone pointed us to another organizer! It was very annoying; we have organized our destinations by metro and bus. Herbert from Vienna
This was our fault, as we did not go to as many places as we could have. We have been Paris 5 time prior and did not use enough vouchers as we could have. We probably should have just got the metro pass.
Definitely paying for the convenience of prepurchased tickets. I’d recommend the museum pass, purchased alone if those are key destinations. The Seine tour was OK
Had the city pass for 3 days Paris which includes the museum pass of 2 days. Basically a good thing as well as the ticket for the Metro is here. You save a lot of time in the entrance to the museum if you really save money depends on how long you each stay in one place. You should plan well how and when to use the pass as the museums have always closed alternately. With us the problem was that we did not come to the towers of Notre Dame because you actually have to get a ticket in the morning to later sometime Unfortunately, we did not come to the Arc de Triumph with the pass because the museum pass was already over and I did not think that this would be run under the museum but with the City Pass (my mistake was still annoying). I would still recommend the purchase of the passport because it is already a relief. Would be nice if the 3 days pass also includes everything for 3 days would be for this reason I give only 3 stars
The Turbopass was useful especially for Metro travel and some of the museums. It is better value than the Paris Pass unless you are hitting every museum in sight. However we had a problem with quality control - I ordered four six day passes for our group and discovered that they had sent three six day passes and one four day pass, which we did not discover until the fifth day at Versailles. Some significant inconvenience occurred getting that sorted out on the day and after - it would have helped if the colour schemes of each pass were clearer.
There was a lot offered but no way to do it all in the allotted time which made the return on investment low. Additionally, assess whether you really like going it alone (without a guide). Honestly, you could do all of it (including getting skip the line tickets) from the museums themselves and probably spend less (not significantly less, but less).
We bought the Paris City Pass for 3 days, unfortunately we can not fully use it. It's very hard to find the companies that accept this card. For public transport we could use 100% would have been a cheaper card better.
This package is really handy. Unfortunately too expensive for 3 days, because in three days of course not all museums and attractions can see. The ticket helped us a lot as we often went by metro or RER. By and large, the turbo pass is really useful. For a longer stay I would order it again.
In our opinion, the Paris City Pass was mostly practical for us, because we hardly had time to plan our trip. However, if you have already been to Paris, or you have more time to prepare what you would do there (or have friends who can give you some tips), then we would not advise you to buy the pass. The city pass for 3 days supposed to be valid for 3 days, but for museums it is valid only for 2. If you visit the Louvre one day, you will not have energy for any other museum that day. So overall within 2 days you can visit maximum 3 museums. The city pass does not provide entry ticket for the Opera, which is a must in Paris, besides that no entry to the Arc de Triomphe either...
Next to the pass you get metro ticket for 3 days, which is great.
It was quite difficult to buy the pass in the first place, as it wouldnt accept my address for a few days, but the staff were very friendly and helped fix the problem.
Was disappointed that we only got a two day museum pass with our three day pass, and felt like a lot of money for losing a day of museum tours.
The Eiffel Tower wasn't included in the package and it ended up only being used 5 times overall.
The travel pass was handy to have but it kept having difficulties and we had to go to the metro reception to get it fixed every day
Paris is a wonderful city. The city pass helped us to get the most of it. However, regarding metro tickets, it would be much better if they were cards instead of small paper tickets. It is necessary to check in and out many times. You receive two for 6 days. I got confused and used the wrong one to check out of one station and I lost the right to use in the last day. It is so common that it happened with my wife’s ticket too. Be careful. Skip the line to buy tickets of course was a great advantage.
We booked Paris City Pass for 3 days. Paris is highly recommended. Are on 02.11. arrived in Paris around noon and immediately activated our metro cards. With the metro you can reach all attractions in no time. Perfect. Unfortunately, if you book the turbo pass for 3 days, you can use the entries in the museums only 2 days! That was a pity !!! The tickets for the museum visit were activated in the afternoon at the Louvre in the early afternoon. Thus, on Saturday, the 04.11., We had to pay the tickets for the Palace of Versailles in the amount of 18 € per person extra. For 4 people it was an expensive affair considering that the turbo pass costs € 99 per person.
We had just come from Rome a few days before and the Turbopass there was great. We used the pass in Paris for the museum biggies like the Louvre, d'Orsay and the Pompidou but in each case even with the pass there was a wait to get in. 20 minutes at the Louvre (take the metro entrance) and about 45 at the d'Orsay and Pompidou. Versailles was a bust as they were sending pass holders and folks that bought their ticket there in through the same entrance. I estimated there was about 1000 people in the serpentine line when we arrived at around 11:00 AM. We checked with security and they confirmed that was the correct line for pass holders. We ended up having lunch there and heading back to Paris. The metro ticket was easily the most used as we used it to get everywhere we went. No Uber, just the metro and a little walking. Also, there is no Hop on - Hop off bus included like there was in Rome. Not the biggest deal but we like to ride it at least once to get a feel for the place.
Only 3 stars, because I only got a discount in the Tour Montparnases, but had to pay 12.50. Otherwise, I would have liked that the passport is more differentiated, you can choose the sights online, you want to visit, so it does not need to be soooo wide, because in 2 days you can not see everything or visit what the passport contains , He could then be cheaper. Actually a good thing. Waltraud Will
The maps for the public transport have worked perfectly, it is a very relaxing part of the holiday, if one does not have to take care of the right tickets on the spot. When entering the various sights, however, there are always problems: 1. The direct access was not accepted a few times, one had to stand at the queue, which had formed by the people who bought a day ticket at the cash desk. 2. With the passport you get more often "only" the inlet. In order to see everything on the spot, is collected again. Examples: extra-rip-off for the tower stage, if one is already in the Pantheon. Extra rip-off in Versailles, if you want to take a walk in the garden after the building tour. The only exception is the Notre Dame Tower. 3. Various components are obtained. For what the map "Paris City Pass" should be, has not opened itself to me. The control has often looked confused on the two passports shown and then typed on the "Museumspass". Improvement requirements: 1. Direct access with an existing passport must be properly controlled and well signposted on site. 2. The sights you can enter with the pass must be fully accessible. No further preparation and cashing after entering. Therefore, B. Tower of the Pantheon or garden in Versailles mandatory part of the pass. 3. Why do I get different components? This complicates the matter unnecessarily. I would have expected, as in other cities, that I get a single card, which I show everywhere and which is controlled only "in advance". Conclusion: Good basic equipment, but avoidable effort, anger and costs. Perfect only if there are no additional waiting times, if everything works with a map and if there is no extra rippling.
I know that the provider can do nothing for it, but it is still a negative aspect.
