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.
The offer of the passport is just too big to exploit even the possibilities offered within a limited period of time. Otherwise the passport is ok. Whether the price-performance ratio is good depends on the use of the passport. Personally, I have made too much in the run-up to the trip and could not finish all the program points.
You can buy the turbo pass. It is worthwhile only if the public transport is included. Also, many museums are included, which are free. If you are not so interested in visiting museums, the pass is not so interesting anymore. Furthermore, the staff at the ticket offices should be better trained, which is included in the entrance fee. We had to pay again, even though we showed the pass. Whether we saved at the end, one can not say. I would take it anyway.
The pass proved very useful for getting to and from the airport - although be careful on arrival - people will try to tell you the pass won't get you into the city! It was also helpful as we cold get into lots of main attractions and jumped the queue many times.
Unfortunately, the transfer from the airport and back did not work out. Everything else was great
Not to have to queue is already very nice. Top. For the main attractions a nice thing. The ticket for all public transport was also great. The bus shuttle transfer was poorly described and unfriendly staff. Next time I would take a taxi. But in my opinion, the pass is profitable only if you also want to visit many museums, etc.
We were in Rome for the first time and bought the Rome City Pass on the advice of other travelers. With the pass you get a long list of perks. The most beautiful experience with this is that you do not have to queue in many places, but have a quick passage. When we rolled over the costs after the trip we were sobered that we could only use a little more than half of the purchase price. Those who need little public transport and will not be able to visit the many museums, galleries and other exhibitions, will pay considerably. But for the Rombesuch is much more relaxed!
This pass was wonderful getting in and out of several different attractions all around Rome. Some things that you should know up front, that you will only find out AFTER reading the very very fine print.
The Hop-on-Hop-Off buses that they advertise as “free transportation” was one of the main reasons why we bought the pass. What we did NOT know was that the buss pass in only eligible for ONE day regardless of how many days of your pass you buy. You the have to purchase additional days from the bus guides. Had we known that we would have determined other transportation around the city.
It looks like a LOT of access to several different sites but what we realized after visiting the Vatican museum is that about half, if not more, of these attractions they have listed are for different galleries inside of the Vatican museum. On the website it appears as though you get access to dozens of sites, but it’s all of these Vatican galleries that you would have access to with a museum ticket anyways. To me that was just silly. We did visit several other locations/sites that the pass offers, however I did not calculate if what we DID do would have been worth it with the pass, or if it would have been cheaper to buy tickets separately.
I will say that we likely got to do, and see some places we wouldn’t normally have seen due to having the pass simply just because we knew we had access to them.
My recommendation is DEFINITELY do your research with this pass. It takes some serious planning to get everything in. Most museums/attractions close by 5PM, so you really need to plan accordingly to see it all.
Overall, a good pass and it was very convenient, but I feel like more needs to be disclosed UP FRONT about some of the offerings it has.
