The Rome City Pass was great. Without queuing we got through the same everywhere. Which is quite recommendable. The Hop on Hop provider was not good. Too few buses, stops hard to find. We could have saved ourselves. Only used it once. Only drove with the public.
You bypass the queues with the City Pass, but which museums are inclusive and which are only discounted is not easy to see through. The use of public transport with the pass is convenient, but often not necessary, as many attractions are within walking distance. Many discounts offered by the pass are not very attractive, as the passport should help to fill the house!
Rome is fantastic! Having Rome City Pass helped us to have a better trip with transportation and museum passes. Long lines in Colosseum and Vaticano were avoided. Then, it is awesome when you have a tight schedule and get less tired at the end. However, with six days pass, have to choose two main attractions so visit for every three days in the long list could be reviewed. In Paris, for example, we can visit as many you want to. Some of the good attractions of the city are not included.
Rome end of November absolutely recommendable. Manageable crowds and good temperatures to explore the winding city of Rome on foot. Now to the Rome City Pass, on the whole, very useful and almost everywhere welcome. What has scared me something that was almost 170 € for the six days and that although I only 5 used. But there is not a five-day ticket. I was really looking forward to this hop-on hop-off bus ride through Rome. Only now it gets annoying. In my 5 days stay in Rome. On which I have come a lot through the city and have seen and experienced a lot, I have not seen a single so much advertised blue bus for the hop-on hop-off ride, red green yellow buses without end only just no blue! And now I wonder if I should be ripped off by their offer, because I could not take advantage of the offer for lack of blue buses just. Although I paid it dearly. In hindsight, but I have to say that these buses are not used unrestricted, who is reasonably on foot, the Spatial close to each other luegenden sights on foot explore what also has the charm that you also something in the beautiful side streets of the old town. Condition is however good footwear.
The Turbopass offers a lot, but in some museums and other attractions entrance fees have to bepaid paid .Thepublic transport in Rome is overloaded, so the use is hardly recommended.
You can also buy the components individually. Then you can also raussuchen the HopOn HopOf company itself. The longest time is waiting for the cooperation partner of Turbopass. And you can easily book the Vatican trip online yourself. Unfortunately, it was not worth it for us.
The Rome City Pass worked very well with the Vatican Museums, Castel Sant'Angelo and the Coliseum. At the Palatinum main entrance he was useless, because no extra row, but the queue was about 500m left of the main entrance extremely short (tip!). For the long queue at St. Peter's Basilica, you would have to buy an extra skip-the-line ticket, so be it early or late in the afternoon! At the metro station, only one out of 3 cards worked when scanning! Was stressful! Bus was fine if he came in a timely manner. The hop-on-hop-off bus worked well, you get at least a small overview.
We had the 3-day pass and were in Rome at the end of October. The pass was worth it for us in two ways: it saved a lot of time by allowing us to walk past the long entrance queues and we were able to travel for free on the metro and all other public transport, which we used well. Financially, he was not worth it for us. The museums, which are offered in addition to the main attractions with discount in the pass, were mostly completely unknown to us and we had in 3 days Rome no time to explore unknown museums. Since we visited the Caracalla-Thermen in front of the Roman Forum, we did not use the pass there, in order not to let our free entrance into the forum lapse. This regulation is unfortunate. We had particularly bad experiences with the Hop on-Hop off bus. We got no space above or without Fensterbeklebung, the headphone technology worked only at a seat. The change to another company would be very advisable here.
In fact, the Rome City Pass was beneficial to the Coliseum and the Vatican Museums, avoiding the tedious and time-consuming queuing. If, however, we do not visit as many as possible, but some museums very extensively over several hours, he does not really pay. We spent a whole day of almost 7 hours for the Capitoline Museum and the Museum di Roma, anyway, for the Vatican Museums anyway, we had not considered that before. We were six days in Rome, which were accordingly € 159.90 per person, only with the tickets and the weekly ticket of the ATAC we could have saved more than 60 €. But for those who only stay in the museums (or other places) for 2 hours each time and go somewhere else in the afternoon and spend another 1-2 hours, the Roma City Pass is great for them. And even those who do not like to do a lot of walking, it is also good for them to get on any bus.
The passport and all extensions have been well worth it and it is definitely recommended for any visit to Rome, although not cheap, so you still have the opportunity (where possible) to get ahead quickly without having to queue. Valuable is also the possibility to drive unlimited and without any worries with all means of transport. It's worth it.
The Rom City Pass alone we could not buy, only in connection with the city tour - and that was rather nothing. The drop-on-drop-off principle would have worked well if we had not been tied to the blue buses. They barely drove, unlike almost all other bus colors. The passers-by to those who did not have a Roma City Pass did not work as well. Overall, too expensive, the overall package.
Basically, the Roma City Pass is not bad, but you can get almost the same volume more favorable with the Roma Pass. The extra is essentially only the city tour. I had the pass for 6 days and had a lot of sightseeing. However, I rarely used the public transport. So the pass was perhaps not quite worth it.
The turbopass had its advantages and disadvantages. Basically it is a good idea for people who want to make their visit to Rome simple and uncomplicated. There are several museums and two to three main attractions. If a part of the museums is visited, the pass is really out, this is rather not the case, should be counted against whether one does not buy so the tickets individually.
We recently visited Rome and purchased a 6 day pass. Being honest I wouldn't do this again. We used it for a bus tour and for supposedly jumping the line at the Vatican and we had to pay another 30 Euros. Plus if you wait until the afternoon then there are virtually no lines and St Peters Basilica is free anyway. Also used it at the colosseum on the Sunday only to find out the the first Sunday of the month its free entry anyway. Rome centre is not the big and if you like walking you can do it easily over a couple of days so for us the 6 day pass didn't meet our expectations. My advice is pay for what you need on the day especially if you are there for 5 to 7 days. If I was doing it again I might buy the 2 or 3 day pass.

Shipping was quick and easy. Also the passports we could use as described. However, contradictory information appeared on the Internet and in the enclosed brochure, so we had to ask several times. But our questions were answered very quickly. On our Hopp-on-Hopp-off tour we were very disappointed. We got a brochure in which the departure times were. Then we left and wanted to take the penultimate bus from the Engelsburg to the Termini. However, this bus never came. After an hour and a half we finally gave up and used an alternative drive. Other Hopp-on-Hopp-off buses, on the other hand, regularly passed us, but not ours. This was very disappointing. Apart from that, the turbopass was very helpful and spared us hours of waiting.
We chose the turbopass for 48h, 3 adults and 1 teenager. - Entrance ticket (skip the line) for the Colosseum / Forum Romanum / Paladin. My daughter paid for her passport less, since the state museums for teenagers under 14 years are free anyway. But you still need an entrance ticket at some places of interest. So: UNDERSTOOD! That cost us all in 1 hour time - at 40 degrees heat! Nix with "skip the line". In addition: If you start at the forum around 10h, there are hardly any waiting times - the admission ticket applies to all 3 sights. - Vatican Museums: We had chosen Tues. 13.30 clock (I read, Tues. and Th. Afternoon are the weakest times) - no snake outside and in the room, where you buy or pick up the tickets (and possibly pending, Also with "skip the line" cards) were 10 coffers open and hardly rush. - Hop on hop off: was quite nice. There are headphones and channels for the different languages, but the description does not always correspond to the areas. No air-conditioning in the bus, but overhead, but no tarpaulin and therefore full sun exposure. - further reductions: for the Kapitolinische Museum and some other approx. € 2, - reduction. Also, you can not see so much in 48h. Conclusion: Was ok, but not absolutely necessary. Picking up the pass at Pius XII place was easy.
The Rome City Pass was really handy. The free entries were not optimal. We had problems entering the Coliseum and the Roman Forum for young people (17 years).
Super thing that you can pass the "must-haves" at the queues. With us were the Colosseum, Vatican and Engelsburg. Also the included public transport was great. Great shortcoming and therefore only 3 stars: the provider of the Hop on - Hop off tour. Just bad: broken audio guides, no sun sail on the upper deck (would have been a good idea at 38 degrees and sun). Too bad, otherwise the Rome Pass would have been a round thing.
The 6 day pass is too expensive for added value. Most of the sights you have seen within the first 3 days and the additional are not worth 60 euros or not covered by the pass as catacombs. If you live relatively centrally, one does not use the buses because of the hard-to-see timetables anyway and goes on foot to get to know the different city districts. Villa Borghese has to be reserved in advance, which is not obvious.
