The pass will definitely save you money. However, it is not as straightforward as, for example, in London, where you buy the pass and get in everywhere with it. In Rome you get an extra ticket for many admissions, you have to specify the date and time of the visit. For the Castel Sant'Angelo you have to pick up a separate ticket somewhere in the Vatican and at one attraction we had to pay admission despite the turbo pass. We use a City Pass on a lot of city trips and are always completely satisfied. In Rome it was a bit more complicated than usual, but all in all we had a nice stay and also saved money with the turbo pass.
Turbopass helps you to easily reserve appointments for popular sights in advance. However, everything can only be viewed or used once, such as the hop in hop of bus. You probably also pay a surcharge for the service compared to the individual entries.
I used the pass two years ago and was happy with it then as it was this year. Unfortunately, after 2 years, some goals are no longer included and you have to pay extra. The hop-on-hop-off tour was disappointing this year as the route was rather bland. Two years ago the red bus drove to many destinations in the city that are historically significant, but unfortunately that was missing this year. The 3-day tickets were good, as they made it much easier to use public transport.
The pass already contains a lot, but you have to plan well on which day you do what, as you have to specify the days in the bookings, or how, for example. Go to a tourist station at Castel Sant'Angelo and the Borghese Gallery and there you have to choose one of the free dates that are still left. These tourist stations are not everywhere either, so it is good to go there and buy all the tickets. We were lucky with Castel Sant'Angelo and still got tickets, unfortunately not with the gallery, which was very annoying because you couldn't enter any data in this regard when buying online and when we were in Rome at a tourist station, there were no more tickets. Otherwise quite practical, but only worthwhile if you also do a lot, especially the expensive sights. And of course the advantage that you don't have to wait.
I think this is the best passed offered in Rome price/value. But they failed to inform that places such as the Castel Sant Angelo and the Galleria Borghese required an appointment that had to be made at least the day before. This pass includes the hop on hop off bus, we didn't use it unfortunately. For the rest it everything went well
Spent 3 unforgettable days in Rome in August 2021. Had the 3-day pass - without local transport - booked. You have to plan a whole day for St. Peter and the Vatican. Colosseum, Roman Forum, Castel Sant'Angelo, Pantheon, Hop on Hop off can be done in 2 days with enough time thanks to the Turbopass. Fast line always worked. Attention, tickets for Castel Sant'Angelo must be picked up near the entrance to the Vatican Museums! We have saved a total of 81 euros compared to the normal price.

You can seriously save money on admissions fees and getting around.The turbo pass can be purchased in advance on the internet what is on the plus.
The listed admissions are included and the admission worked without any problems. However: - The ticket for the Castello d'Angeo must be picked up at a tourist office at the Vatican Museum (!?) - The hop-on hop-off bus is only included on one day (even with a 7-day pass). So start the tour in the morning! - Public transport must be booked and paid for additionally - Ticket for the Vatican is only valid for the museum (not for visiting the dome) - In many museums only the Roma Pass (not the Turbo Pass) is accepted - Audio guides are in sights not included and always to be paid extra
Having the local transport tickets when you arrived was perfect. We could just get on the next train and were in the city immediately. The booked tickets for the Vatican Museums and the Collosseum worked perfectly. No waiting time on site. It couldn't be better. But: We had reserved a whole day for the hop on / off tour. That was a failure. The bus was totally overcrowded and drove past us. The next one as well. We tried again later in the day. Same game. The following day the buses were always full. It's a shame. So it is not usable, just wasted time. It would be better if you could register for a specific time and day. The audio tours in the Castel Sant'Angelo and the Pantheon worked extremely well with the turbo pass. We were in Rome for 7 days and were able to use some of the things on offer. It wasn't really worth the price, but it was comfortable that you could book everything in advance from a single source.
We really enjoyed our Rome vacation during Corona times, because there were no queues anywhere, so we didn't have any advantages from the City Pass. The city tour is actually much too expensive, we would have got the same 10 euros cheaper, as estimated in the City Pass. Despite Corona, the bus was crammed full and the distances were not observed. Also, the schedule was not kept, we had to watch out for the bus for 1 hour. For us, the City Pass was not profitable
It included all the entry we needed to visit Rome, which made it very convenient. Some museums we wanted to visit had Corona not open. That was too bad. We had also booked the airport shuttle. It also worked well on the outward journey. Just have to point it out. If you want to fly from Rome early in the morning, it will be a problem, as the shuttles start relatively late. We had to take a taxi again.
We were very satisfied with the Rome City Pass. Even if we - due to the corona - would not have needed the opportunity to be let in without queuing. It would be nice if with the e-mail tickets you also received a map of the stops of the hop-on-hop-off bus and a map with the departure times at the respective stops. We went to the Vatican Museum by public transport as we had booked entry there. After the visit, we had to ask ourselves several times to get to the stop (I found the map on the internet). Once there, it was not posted anywhere what time the bus would start. We only had to wait about 15 minutes but it could have been 45 minutes. We only got the plan on the bus. If the waiting time had been longer, one could have had a coffee or watched something else.
It worked great! Ticket arrived on time by email and was accepted at all attractions! The reservations for the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums were great and certainly saved me a lot of time. Only the Castel Sant'Angelo was not included, which can be seen with a little search on the Turbopass website, but some bloggers state the opposite, which looks like Turbopass sponsorship - this should possibly be communicated more clearly.
We booked the Rome City Pass for 3 days for 4 people. ordering and sending the documents electronically went perfectly. On site you could visit the sights without any further problems, almost without waiting. Only the hop-on-hop-off bus tour was not worth the money - wasted a lot of time. Overall good thing, time savings good, money savings low
With us, the pass was not quite worth it in terms of price, but the relaxation and security of already having all the tickets makes up for it! With the pass we had the chance to visit museums, which we might not have paid any attention to without a pass! Many thanks
A lot of sights included, you should look beforehand when what is open, for example 3D Experience Rome closed in January and February, really practical that you don't have to queue, Metro costs only 1.50 per trip, so we didn't take a package ticket, because you can walk a lot.
Absolutely recommendable, especially if you make a spontaneous short trip.
If you want to visit several museums, a city pass is always good. For Rome in particular, longer waiting times can be significantly reduced. It would be nice to have a brief overview of the services or a note to the museums as to whether the pass is valid.
We had a 4-day pass with airport transfer. Finally, a 3-day pass would have been enough, as the airport transfer is independent of the passport details.
