With the Turbo Pass you have to worry about anything else in Rome. Particularly the free use of public transport are a relief. When showing the City Pass for free admission to the museums there were no problems. The included round trip by bus is recommended. The most important aspect is the reserved entrance to the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. Really past an infinitely long queue.
Highly recommended. Most sights preferred access (virtually no waiting time). Top Vatican, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica -> perfect view of Rome from the observation deck of the dome, Coloseum anyway, Trevi Fountain, Spanish stairs, Pantheon, Circus Maximus, Roman Forum ........... food very well, just the pizza is better, unfortunately very expensive drinks in Austria! All in all -> it was beautiful 4 days ago.
My husband and I were the first time in Rome. We were impressed by the wealth of cultural monuments. Even if you can visit some as the churches and the Pantheon or the gardens of Villa Borghese without entrance, is the entrance to other monuments like the Colosseum, Vatican Museums ... quite high. So the ball is definitely worth. We could also act quite flexible, had no long queues and could use all the transport for free. We did not have to stand in front of machines, and understand the pricing system, which is a particular relief when you do not speak Italian. We will buy the pass on our next visit there again.
Thanks Rome City Pass we were very flexible and came off the same everywhere. <br /> Are very glad we chose the City Pass. Thank you very much.
Good viewpoint Vittoriano of Rome.
The Rome City Pass facilitates the stay and sightseeing there immensely. Upon arrival in the city center one can immediately use the public transport without Over rum only great with the purchase of travel tickets. However, the most preferred are the admissions to the Colloseum and the Vatican. Especially if you are planning a 2 or 3 day trip, the time savings is huge! And if you no longer have power to run and explore the city itself, one can quite comfortably make a city tour which is also included. <br /> <br /> I will recommend the Turbo Pass to anyone and my next trip and even buy again! <br />
The Rome City Pass is worthwhile in any case! We had 3 days option and stayed 5 days in Rome. Vatican Museums, the Colosseum, Castel Sant'Angelo, Italian National Museum, city tours and much more, everything was fine and everything without large queues. We would buy the pass again.
Visiting the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel without waiting in the heat was really good. It saved precious time we could then spend inside
The Turbo Pass is a fantastic device. Our stay in Rome was wonderful and we can see a lot of things. Especially the sightseeing tour by double-decker bus was terrific.
I found this online when looking for some tour information and we decided to try it. It was pretty easy to use to set up the days and times for the Colosseum and Vatican City. The Hop On Hop Off bus worked really well to get to the places and was informative as well as fun to sit up top, the weather was beautiful. My only complaint is that you don't get the map until you're on the bus and we were trying to figure out where the stops were. We couldn't find it online and we ended up taking a taxi from Vatican City only to find out when we finally found a stop and got the map that there was a stop right there. We did ask some local people, but they didn't even know what we were talking about. There needs to be a map or a listing on the website that you can see of where the stops are. If there is one, I surely didn't see it. We did buy the public transportation but never used it, it was kind of confusing so I would skip that. All in all, it was an amazing trip and I would recommend purchasing Turbopass.
In and of itself, the Turbopass was worth it. However, you have to take a few things into account. The fast lane doesn't work everywhere, or wasn't necessary for a few attractions at the beginning of November. We had the 4-day pass and really saw almost all of the sights. The only reason it lost one point was because with the 2 time slot bookings, you have to be prepared to be surprised when the tour takes place. We were allocated 2x 10:30 (Colosseum, Vatican Museums). We would have liked to have been there earlier, as you can't really do anything beforehand. The transport to and from the airport worked great, and we also used public transport. We can only recommend that everyone book this. Overall, we would travel with the Turbopass again.
I had the Turbopass for 1 week with airport transfer and public transport ticket. Overall, I would make this decision again, as it means you can save a lot of money compared to the individual offers. However, this also means that you have to plan your trip well in advance. This takes away some of the flexibility, but this is also due to individual bookings and the hordes of people who have the same goals. Here and there, I would have liked more to be possible online and not to have to organize a ticket using the pass. But that also has a lot to do with your own convenience and your own use of digital devices. I found Rome itself to be a vibrant, worth seeing, historic, mega-exciting and great capital. I found the masses of tourists extremely exhausting, but like the whole review, that is subjective.

The card provides access to many things, but there were difficulties. The airport shuttle is rarely available, and we couldn't even use it on the way back. Do not book the Vatican Museum for the afternoon, because you will not have time to see the exhibits. We got an appointment for 4:30 p.m., and we just ran all the way to get out on time. We couldn't even visit the garden. The Colosseum is also worth seeing in the morning, 1.5 hours in the afternoon was not enough. The ladies at the information desk in Piazza Navona were not very nice, and there was also an unpleasant lady among the clerks on the Hopp-on bus. Apart from these, the card was a good buy.
The Citypass is recommended, but you have to work out beforehand what you want to see and what is included in the pass. Without navigation we would never have found the ticket counter for the Hopon Hopoff Bus (which is only valid for 48 hours). We would have preferred to be able to get the pass on site in the format of an admission ticket (like in Vienna with a tag). All in all it is a good investment.
But be careful on public transport! The buses are packed, there is only one ticket validator hidden at the back of the bus! There is only one ticket purchasing machine at the front! And the ticket inspectors are very active!
We spent a week in Rome, and visited all the obvious places: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Roman Forum, Ostia Antica, etc.
We found the City Pass useful, but you can't just walk up to the attraction and use the pass. Quite a lot of the time, you have to book a specific time slot, exchange the pass for a ticket, or even go to a specific location elsewhere in Rome to get the ticket (for example, to pick up public transport tickets).
For us, the unlimited public transport was a real bonus, and we used that part of the pass a lot.
I'm sure we saved some money, and overall we found it convenient to have most attractions covered by one payment.
We choose Turbopass as we were staying for a long time and that you have the possibility to combine it with public transport pass.
We knew from the start that almost nothing is digitalized in Roma, so we were not surprized by the fact that we had to book activities then pick up a paper ticket on site before (always at close distance).
We received Coliseum and Vatican skip the line tickets in advance and it worked perfectly well.
For some activities, we were also provided with online links to book timeslots in advance (worked well, no problem at all with Touristation) and for others, you can go directly with your Turbopass. The only one that was refused was Leonardo Da Vinci Museum for the 20% discount with Turbopass (not working with them anymore it seems).
I don't regret my purchase, we didn't lose time waiting in lines for hours, with children it's a must.
