We thought the tips about the sights were great and we didn't have to wait in long queues for many attractions. We would have found it better if the tickets for public transport or the tickets for the sights had been sent along.
Thanks to this pass you can actually skip the endless queues at the sights. And with free ÖVM you really save money and nerves. The only shame is that the navigation in the app doesn't have a street directory.
Highly recommended, the ticket for local transport should already be available at the airport!
We can only recommend the Turbopass. You can quickly get to the selected sights without queuing. Service is excellent, our questions were answered immediately by email. Rome with the Citypass is worth a trip.
We were very satisfied because using the means of transport was very easy. The booking in the Vatican Museum worked, no waiting time. Unfortunately the tours were only in English or Italian, although booked in German. This resulted in additional costs for us.
The biggest advantage of the Turbopass was the entry to the Colosseum and the Sistine Chapel at the desired times without queuing. Converting the public transport ticket was a challenge - read the instructions carefully :). Attention Pantheon now requires entry!! The turbo pass was worth it.
Very easy to access colosseum, forum, castel st angelo, and Vatican museums with skip the line access.
Gladly again at any time! It would be nice if all tickets could be made available digitally
Since my wife and I decided to visit Rome at the beginning of September, we found that it was still very crowded. Therefore, I can only recommend everyone to get up early and beat the crowds. Being one of the first to stand on top of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica was fantastic. It is not recommended to visit the Vatican Museums after 10:30 a.m. The Sistine Chapel loses its venerability due to the crowds.
Trastevere district recommended in the evening
We were in Rome for 7 days and had the 5-day pass without public transport (we could easily buy the 7-day ticket separately in Rome). With the pass we were able to visit the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum without having to wait in long lines. It is advisable to book both tickets for the morning. Please note that the 24 hour ticket (Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine) only includes a one-time entry to the Roman Forum and Palatine. The audio guide for the Vatican Museums is a bit poor, but another one can be purchased on site. We also took advantage of the free Pantheon audio guide, free entry to Castel Sant'Angelo (be careful: on the 1st Sunday of each month all admissions to museums are free, with limited admission there is no guarantee that you will get in) and the 48 hour bus tour . All in all, a good pass for our purposes.
Good service, delivered quickly and on time. Well documented. Quite extensive documentation. Be sure to take the time to read everything carefully. In my opinion, it could have been a bit simpler, but the most important thing: it works! Sometimes you can be admitted directly to the attraction with your QR code. Sometimes you are scanned first and you have to wait for confirmation. In my opinion, it would have been better to have it all handled in the same way. But that's not it.
This Turbopass saved us so much headache and annoyance in booking tickets as its just one pass that encompasses all the places we needed! Definitely recommend!
...you really want to see a lot of sights. I was in Rome for 8 days and had a 7 day pass including local transport and airport transfer. Transfer is only worthwhile if you live directly at the main train station or one of the two other stops. That was the case for me. Otherwise it is better to take public buses or trains. Local transport isn't really worth it if you live centrally. Most of it is on foot. You have 2 days of hop on hop off included with the pass. And if you do have to drive, a ticket costs €1.50. The pass itself includes an incredible number of sights. You can even get to the essentials quicker. Has lots of discounts and, as I said, a hop on hop off for two days included. If you use everything you have significant savings. I didn't do everything and therefore ended up in the red all in all (including local transport). Overall, I would recommend the pass. The points mentioned above are not criticisms, but points that should be taken into account when purchasing :)
The pass is a must for Rome especially during high season. Skip-the-line at the most important sights (saving several hours at the Colosseum and the Vatican). I was a bit skeptical at first because I read some bad reviews, but none of them came true. Price is acceptable for the comfort gained.
As far as everything worked out, and received faster preferential access to the sights. What is annoying, you have to pick up the ticket from the ticket, is a bit cumbersome, but that's apparently how it is in Italy.... Which wasn't so great, for example the Coliseum, you should then pay 4 € extra for the area on the platform , but it's already in and would have to go back again... Something like that has to be in there!
The Turbopass definitely made the trip to Rome more relaxed. Personally, I thought the list of sights was great, because you could divide the days very well. Everything was there that I wanted for a great city break. My only criticism is whether the turbo pass paid off for me as a 19-year-old. In many museums, young Europeans aged 18-25 pay reduced admission of sometimes €3 per person. It would be advisable to address a target group over 25 years of age when purchasing the turbo pass.
Reservations were great.
At some facilities in ROM you cannot simply show the turbo pass but have to pick up the reserved ticket at a station beforehand. Unfortunately, you only get a voucher at this station and you have to go to another station to get the ticket (Vatican Museums). "Turbopass" can't do anything about that, but the cumbersome organization at "Touristation" and everything works as promised - it just takes time, which you should plan for. A "turbo pass" then quickly becomes a "slow pass". Otherwise everything was included that was promised, the service for questions by email works quickly and helpfully. And with such a pass you are still faster than queuing in the endless queues. CONCLUSION: a bit more transparency/clarification would be helpful - but without a pass you are lost in ROM. Hence: very helpful.
The TurboPass itself is great if you also like going to museums or want to see things that are not in a travel guide. What is not enough are extra costs for audio guides at the Colloseum and also in the Pantheon. In addition, there was no skip-the-line at the Pantheon and the pick-up/information station at Piazza Navonna was unfortunately incapable. So inept that - despite saying it in both English and Italian - we were given the wrong ticket to Castel Sant'Angelo. And when we asked about the date (it said the day on it when we got the tickets and we wanted Monday, but Castel Sant'Angelo is closed then...they also forgot to tell us) then came: no, no, that's it only the date of issue. Well... we asked again the next day and then it suddenly said: no, the ticket was valid yesterday and no, you can't exchange it because they don't know whether we were in the castle. PLEASE WHAT??? With that they messed up both the Castel Sant'Angelo and the very good experience with the turbo pass :( They also said several times at the various sights that the conditions have changed from July... great! We bought in May already the date at the end of July - but we didn't get any information or other discounts... So in summary: it fits well, a bit too little information and the pick-up station was really rubbish.
