It was worth it, we didn't have to queue. It was good value for money. Public transport worked out well. Getting tickets for the Pantheon was a bit complicated because online reservations weren't possible.
The pass makes the entry process for all the major monuments much easier and simpler. The queues for pass holders were usually much shorter than the queue to buy tickets at the door, so I highly recommend having the pass. Receiving my tickets for the Vatican museums and the colosseum was very straightforward and I wouldn't have been able to book these visits otherwise, so that alone made it worthwhile to me. There are many deals to take advantage of if you read through the fine print when you receive your pass. I particularly loved having access to the hop on/hop off bus tour through the city. I had a terrible experience with rude staff at the Touristation office in Piazza Navona, but this has little to do with the pass itself. It's a good way to see the highlights of the city.
We are very satisfied with the purchase of the city pass offered by Turbopass, which includes many options such as the airport-city center shuttle service, the hop-on-hop-off bus, the use of public transport (bus, train, tram) and access to the numerous museums and other attractions. The visits to the Colosseum and the Vatican museums arranged by Turbopass ensured that we did not have to join the long queues. The only downside is that we received vouchers by email that we first had to exchange for real tickets. It would be easier if we could receive the tickets directly by email because ultimately everything is included in the price and the city pass was paid in advance.
Our experiences were consistently positive. However, with the Roma Pass you sometimes have to pick up your ticket at a different location to get in. For example: for the Pantheon at Piazza Navona.
It was a great trip full of joy and great experiences thanks to this great card (Turbopass). The only thing that disappointed me a little was the very short time for visiting the Colosseum. According to the pre-booked ticket, we were only able to get in at 5 p.m., and what a pretty big area we only had 2 hours to see. Perhaps this could be taken into account in the future when booking in advance. Otherwise, we are happy with everything and can happily recommend this offer. Best wishes from Hamburg Dmitry
A nice hotel not far from the Trevi Fountain and yet quiet: Hotel Cecil. The staff are welcoming and there is a pleasant rooftop bar.
The timed entry tickets for the Vatican Museums and the Colosseum are essential. I really don't want to stand in those queues. Be sure to check the latest news from Turbopass about how to redeem the tickets for the museums - sometimes it's very complicated or doesn't work at all. However, customer service refunded the tickets without any problems. Overall: I would buy them again in another city.
The individual activities and options are well explained. Where to find things, how to register, locations, etc. Airport transfer, and everything else worked well.
We pre-ordered the Turbopass. You can skip lines to find yourself in another line. It is Rome and many tourists visit this City. The hop-on/hop off bus was a disappointmet because to less buses or to many people. We used more the public transport. Long lines with people and only sitting places....but it was available. We found it very handy the Turbopass that is why I give I high rating.
The Rome Turbopass is brilliant. It includes all the attractions you have booked. The shuttle bus from Fiumicino Airport is at the end of Terminal 3 and takes 70 minutes, depending on traffic. At the stop, you can show your voucher for a round trip to Termini. You have to pick up the ticket for local transport at a kiosk near Termini station. It's a bit of a hassle if you have to walk around the whole station first. The ticket for the Colosseum was included. The other tickets for the Pantheon, Castel Sant'Angelo, Catacombs (Callisto) and the 90-minute tour from Piazza Vavona have to be booked and picked up in advance from one of the tourist offices. The Romepass only serves as a voucher here. The museums, the luggage depot at Termini and the Hop On, Hop Off bus can be booked directly with the Rome City Pass.
We got the Rome City Pass for 7 days. We planned and booked all museum entrances from home. Everything worked very well. Entry is always on time - not before, not after!!! The hop on hop off buses are always full due to the large number of visitors. It can also happen that you have to wait for the next bus - but then you can expect a wait of 20-30 minutes. The audio guide always worked very well. What bothered us was that you can ALWAYS only pick up the vouchers for the tours from the tourist office on the day that you are scheduled to enter. I don't understand that, because it shouldn't really matter when I can pick them up. We always had to go across town to pick up the vouchers. Unfortunately, it's very inconvenient because you have to keep going to the tourist office and then always have to expect a long wait there. This should be made easier. I would also like to point out that the ladies at the tourist office in Navona Square are VERY rude and cheeky. All in all, we would take the Rome City Card again. Highly recommended.
All travvel end tickets at once. No hassel in the city anymore.
One minus. Not all personal in the ticket office is (how do you say it nice) polite.
Basically, the City Pass in Rome was a good thing, you could visit the sights without having to queue on the date you wanted. However, there is one criticism: In order to activate the individual tickets, you had to go to certain offices: there was only one office in the whole city! So you had to take the bus there first (without a ticket), because you can't activate it on the bus or buy a ticket. You risk getting a fine, even if you have a pass. Depending on where you are staying in Rome, it can take a long time. So: everything worked out, but the public transport ticket in particular should be able to be activated in many places.
The skip-the-line tickets for the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Thalia and Vatican were great. The pass includes a good mix. Unfortunately, one or two museums were closed due to construction work, but that's not the pass's fault. The parks offer a lot of peace and relaxation in the hectic city. If you're in Rome for longer than 5-6 days, you can make the most of a lot from the pass.
We bought the Turbopass Rome for a total of 10 people. Half of our travel group was over 70. Ordering and paying was easy. The Turbopasses and the Vatican entry arrived a few days after ordering. We only received the booked Colosseum tickets after asking several times. It is definitely worth buying the Vatican tickets and the Colosseum tickets in advance, as you don't have to wait in long queues on site. Only for the Roman Forum, which we booked with the ticket, did we have to queue for over an hour despite having a ticket. And the security checks in the Colosseum and Roman Forum were stricter than at the airport. The airport transfer was also OK. We had to redeem and collect the ticket for public transport on site at a sales kiosk. That was a long walk for us. What we also didn't know and isn't visible on the website is that for every other entry we had to book a day and entry period on site at a tourist information office. The same applies to the San Callisto Catacombs Tour. After we had booked the tour, we asked four times where the bus was leaving from. The answer was: Tourist information at Piazza de Venezia. In fact, we had to run about a kilometer after the tour guide from the tourist information office, as the bus left from Sant'Omobono. Half of the tour participants couldn't keep up. When I asked the guide why she didn't take the group into consideration, she replied: She didn't have time and that we would have to tell her that there were older people in the group. As already mentioned, we asked several times and emphasized that we were traveling with senior citizens. Especially since this lady personally looked at us and counted us before we left. In short, the Rome Turbopass is not a bad thing. It would be great if you could book all the entrance tickets from the comfort of your own home. And also have the confirmations in your luggage before the trip. This would save you a lot of running around on site. The information/handling regarding the entrance tickets on the website should definitely be improved.
Always a good and immediate response from the organization. Reliable booking of the Colosseum and Vatican. However, the pass is sometimes very complicated to use. In some cases it is only valid as a voucher and the ticket must be picked up at another location: e.g. Pantheon > Piazza Navona (and then please not in advance, as they don't have the tickets yet).
You can generally recommend the pass, everything worked out, even though you can't really complete the pass in four days, a shorter one would be perfectly fine, but in hindsight it was too expensive...
Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, St. Peter's Basilica, Castel Sant'Angelo and the Vatican Museum
