Super was that you could actually pass the snakes and had a preferential entrance (especially Vatican museums). Great also, that all means of transport were included. Negative is that not all museums were free as in other cities. Overall a bit too expensive
The City Pass itself was relatively useless, so you could only use the Hop on Hop Of Bus. For everything else you need the Rome Pass (Card?), Although the trips to the river are not included. For the sights the Rome City Pass was already quite useful, since you had not to wait long. However, many important things were not included. The handling and the dispatch was however problem-free. And as I said, I would make it again to save time. Whether it was financially worthwhile, I would doubt.
Skip the lines in Vatican Museums and Colosseum are the great service.
But it does not work for Foro Romano, at least from Colosseum entrance.
The another issue is the obligation of prior reservation for Galleria Borghese visit phone only.
It's not underlined enough on the brochure and on the website, so we revealed this after coming to the Galleria.
So we did not visit the Galleria, because it was fully reserved.
Public transports have worked great! Likewise Hop-on, Hop-off, Vatican Museums and Engelsburg. Unfortunately, it was not so that one with the Citycard everywhere seemed welcome. There was at the Forum Romanum the very unfriendly instruction to sit at the end of an endlessly long queue, also with Citycard !!!. Likewise, we had to book in spite of Citycard in the Villa Borghese with a lead time of 6 days and were treated very unfriendly. Quote: \"We have nothing to do with this company. In case of complaints, they have to contact the operators of the CityCard\". Generally one had the impression that in some sights with the Citycard unfortunately rather condescending than \"cheap\" package tourist, which pounds on advantages, which are not really due to him. At a price of 160, - € / 6 days therefore rather disappointing.
The services do not match the price, if you buy the same in Rome or Interent, you get around 40 € less.
We had the feeling to have paid more with the Rome City Pass and to have less of it than if we had bought the tickets in advance ..... The tour of the city was the worst we did. All in all not very great
We had the 6 day pass for Rome. The first 3 days ran smoothly and found the passport very handy, as we were getting faster and never needed a public transport ticket. However the remaining 3 days the pass worked no longer properly. My pass was suddenly no longer with the subways and also with attractions was usually that this was invalid. Suddenly my friend's friend did not work any more and we would have to buy more and more tickets and also underground tickets. What was peculiar was that our passports were alternating, that is to say, one of my friend's, but not my friend's, went back again. Very sad
Idea super, but had obviously read that only 2 sights incl. Are ... Vatican naja, who needs it. For real viewing there are simply too many visitors. I would like to have a passport with which I can also visit the many other smaller places without paying extra time. lg Michael
With the Rome Pass you have preferred admission to many attractions. However, one can buy separately and added value of the Rome City Pass is low this also. The reservation for the Vatican is extremely helpful but this was also the only decisive advantage.
We bought the pass for 3 days. For the classic attractions like Colosseum, Roman Forum, Vatican City, the turbo-entry is really great to skip the really long lines. For all other attractions, there is then only discount. Fortunately, there are a lot of churches in Rome with free admission, which can be easily reached by public transport. All in all, however, I thought the pass is not bad, the price a bit too high.
We can only recommend the Rome City Pass. The city tour was also good, only the textual explanations were rather poor.
The Roma Pass would have been sufficient for 3 days for us. The option past the queue for the Vatican Museum had availed us little, since we were traveling in the off session and was seen no queue. The city tour was also only one round \"One Way\" between with no exit. We got out because we thought the trip would be a \"hop off hop on\" Tour. Cost for the pick up spot is higher than when the ball is sent to Germany. Why? The pass is worth it for people who really planned in advance what you want everything viewing per day. Previously on the opening times to gather information would have been important. The Colosseum, for example, includes 16 o'clock. Otherwise, I recommend here to also use the pass because it has less stress as much as possible to make so that the passport worth it in the end.
CityPass itself is quite ok - what I have to complain about it: The enclosed belongs City plan combined - stations (transport links across Rome) Here you are able to get a busy all the time with the metro stations or bus until there is rightly and then there are still problems with the stations - the use of the pass is easy - purely in the respective \"vehicle\" pull pass over it - that's it !!! Overall, a great thing. (We had deal with a strike by taxi drivers) Entrance to the Vatican Museum & Sistine Chapel also worked perfectly- without queuing. However, onsite we were persuaded into a guided tour in German - and obviously never had one!!! How should it be otherwise - Bella Italia !! Total positive - but the price / performance ratio is not really justified.
The Rome City Pass was worth it. Although pricewise narrowly, but even more regarding less queuing at the sights. Just a pity that one of two cards did not work, so each time we had to ask for help at the metro or museum there. The employees were aware of the problem, so they let us in without discussion. Still annoying.
In the major attractions not to queuing, is worth gold. Great value for money in this matter! Otherwise, it is priced acceptable, savings remains limited.
Unfortunately, we were not able to visit the Castel Sant' Angelo as promised without queuing.
For our party of 6, I do not feel we received our money's worth with the Turbopass. Unless you plan to intentionally \"cram\" as many possible things as possible in a day, you will not get your money's worth.
- Rome is walkable so we only used public transportation a couple of times. - The Colosseum and Palatine Hill, and Forum is an all-day evolution and is not very expensive. It is difficult to realistically fit another museum/attraction in so you might as well just buy your tickets on your own. Plus, the pass only covers \"basic entry\". You must pay for any upgrades in your tour.
- Having tickets to the Vatican Museums is recommended to avoid entry lines, however you can buy these separately online as well. Again, they're not that expensive and Vatican City altogether is a full day.
The use of transport with the City Pass was unclear to me. We took the bus and hoped that it would be sufficient to have the City Pass card with you.
Furthermore, the pick-up of tickets for the city tour is not optimal. Better would be a free travel ticket with no prior visit of a ticket office.
Use of the Museum card did not work in the Castel Sant'Angelo. However, the staff was very nice and let us in anyway. Otherwise the admission went smoothly and we were able to actually skip the line at the museum. Unfortunately, time was too short to use the pass extensively.
Conclusion: the card is very expensive, but it saves a lot of time and nerves. However, one should think about alternatives if there is only time for a few museums.
Overall still worthwhile because you - especially the Vatican - a great time saver!
Very disorganized. No obvious places in Rome to explain the pass. Limited instructions in the pack. it was a taste it and see experience. In the end i think we just about got our moneys worth.
