Basically a good idea, which has also worked largely well. Two things, however, have caused great annoyance: 1.) We have discovered the pass at very short notice and only booked the evening before departure. But since you could easily select the following day as the start of validity, we found nothing there. After paying (!) We received the note, however, that the receipt of the voucher 24 hours (!) Can claim. Since the next day the hotline for an hour (allegedly because of a technical infirmity) was not available, we had to finally go without a printed voucher in the plane. 2.) The gondolier in Venice refused to redeem the voucher for the gondola ride.
I was in Venice for 4 nights, 5 days, and would never buy the pass again. It is too much trouble to get to the locations where one should collect the tickets before you can use the pass. We queued very long at the meeting points, only to learn you should go to another location (different locations for the different tours) to first get the physical ticket. We found the staff at the meeting points unfriendly and uninterested. The tours were, at the most, BORING, with very poor sound quality. The Borano/Murano tour was a waste of time. Had we gone on our own, we would have had much more fun. It was a rush from the one location to the next, with very little time on the islands, simply not enough to make the experience count. The exception was the tour of the Teatro Fenico. The tour guide was excellent.
Church pass could not be redeemed because the church was either closed all day or opened too late. That was annoying. The indicated times for the various offers were not right. Muses pass ok, Vaporetto card too. I would not buy anymore, but spontaneously decide on the spot. I do not want a coupon and no offers otherwise.
I had bought the turbo pass for a 3-day stay in Venice, but found on site that 3 days was not enough to do all the activities
I did not like the fact that we first had to go to the Doge's Palace to solve the museum ticket, as it was announced to get in without a queue. There were churches indicated where the entry was free anyway. Positive was the entry into the Marcusdom, and also the Aitportexpress.
We bought the Venice City Pass Classic because we thought it worthwhile. The Teatro la Fenice was closed as a result of a small fire (20 EUR), the Jewish Museum (12 EUR) was closed on two days, the gondola ride is unattractive, because with six people in a gondola is penned and a relatively boring route was driven and the Murano - Burano - Torcello tour should be better with the public transport (Vaparettos), because the stay in Murano and Burano were so short that you could not really explore the islands or enjoy.
Die ausgewählten Museen sind teilweise uninteressant, z. B. Leonardo da Vinci. Die angegebenen Zeiten für die Bootsfahrt auf Canal Grande stimmten nicht. Das Ticket für die Vaporetti hätte man auch in Venedig zum selben Preis kaufen können. Nun endlich zu den positiven Punkten: mit dem city pass spart man sich das Warten in der langen Schlange für Markus Dom und Dogenpalast.
The transaction of the purchase went very fast and without problems. However, when I first used the turbo pass in Venice, I was warned that my code was not working. This was especially annoying as I was traveling with a group and only 2 out of 4 turbo pumps were working. After the first shock, we contacted the provider over the phone & were informed for the first time that these two passports were canceled due to a technical error (each had 2 different codes on the printouts). By telephone we were informed that we will again receive a mail with validated passports. After this bumpy start with the Turbopass we were able to use the offers after all.
We visited Venice for 3 days and booked the Tubopass. The purpose was to avoid waiting times and enjoy all the sights in a relaxed way. The opposite was the case. You walk through Venice and look for the starting points, where the voucher must be exchanged for valid tickets. This is very time consuming and extremely annoying. There are enough ticket counters and no long lines, you can buy tickets relaxed on the spot. The gondola ride was a mass transit and not worth your money. 15 gondolas in a row, each with 6 people occupied in the jam of the canals. All gondolas ride the same round, ridiculous and no experience. Better pay more and negotiate the price and the route with the gondola driver. The guided boat trip to the islands of Murano and Burano was not worth seeing and everything was completely overcrowded. The ship only operates at certain times and you hardly have time to look at it, very tight schedule. The islands are also approached by public boat traffic, which is much better and more relaxed. Highly recommended is the transfer from and to the airport and a public transport ticket for the public transport for all days of stay in Venice to book. There is the price-performance ratio and it saves time and money. Pay a little more and enjoy Venice as relaxed as you want
Turbopass is not one inclusive pass that you present or swipe to use local transport vaperettos get into museums or take the grand canal tour. It is a lot of paper with barcodes a lot of detail that you need to retain in order to have any clue how to go about redeeming your value from the costly price paid. It turned out to be useless to us except for St Marks Museum and a total waste of the $300+ CAD spent on it.
In and of itself, the passport is financially beneficial, but it must be redeemed on the spot if you print it all out at home - and unfortunately in a number of locations that are far apart. So on our 3 day trip to Venice, it took half a day to obtain the passports or redemptions, and this was very annoying because valuable time was wasted. The museum pass must be redeemed at the Doge's Palace, this is still possible, since it is best to visit the Doge's Palace immediately after you have arrived. Although the chorus pass can be redeemed at three stations in Venice, we had unfortunately chosen the church, which had then closed and so we could get the pass the next day and had to dangle again through the whole city. To redeem the gondola ride we had to go back to another location (a small travel agency) and there was probably noon - it was closed for one hour! The bare mockery, however, was the "fixed admission time", which can be reserved for the entrance to St. Mark's Basilica. There we stood with our vouchers and with us 180 people, who had pre-booked the entrance at the same time - what should that be? It's a mystery to me that a city that's killing thousands of tourists every day is so poorly organized. Attention for those who go to St. Mark's Cathedral for the first time: bags and backpacks have to be deposited in a storage area about 100 meters away on a small street - but nowhere! The trouble was of course huge for many people, if one pending an hour to visit the cathedral (despite fixed admission time!) And then sent away again to hand over the bag.
Unfortunately, I did not manage to look at things in time and it was not financially worth it for me
The airport transfer is NOT included from Vendeig Treviso airport, only the airport transfer from Venice - San Marco is included.
Having bought the excellent New York City pass when I went there, I expected the TurboPass to be the same. Wrong! You can buy the individual components of this pass cheaper. It's not good value at all. No assistance is given to help you to pick up the transport tickets - I had to hunt for the machine to pick them up in a car park in Mestre! The \"skip the line\" tickets can be bought for the various locations cheaper using official sites. Most of the churches don't charge to go in so that's misinformation. There's a lot of confusion between the pass and the guide you get with it as to how you get the offers. On a number of occasions I was met with a puzzled looks when I showed them the pass Part A - \"you collect this from San Marco\" they would say (clearly just trying to get rid of me) - only after persisting did they look it up (and spend 10 minutes) and find that they could allocate the tickets! The Island trip can be done free using the public transport pass anyway and that gives you the flexibility to schedule the trips (the boat trip will only leave at a certain time).
No matter where we presented the turbo pass, no one knew what to do with it. The system is not introduced in Venice. Unlike passports in other cities, it is very complicated and you always have to solve an "original ticket" on the spot, which is then already paid, but lasts forever. In addition, in my opinion would have to do with which services it is guided tours. Because it is not for everyone to be led in Murano only in glass factories and to adjust the timing of the tour. For money thrown out, I can not recommend.
It is advertised with all sorts of things, but the pass itself differentiates then very strong and ultimately we knew only locally that we would rather not have bought it.
It did not work out! Certain places such as the theater, however, the description can be visited only on certain days and at certain times. And not directly, but only with voucher, you have to pick up in a travel agency on site. The same applies to the boat tour to Murano etc .: only at certain, not freely selectable times and you have to pick up an additional ticket at a counter. Unfortunately, the same applies to the museums on St. Mark's Square. We spent half an hour at Museum Correr, only to find out that we had to pick up our ticket at the Doge's Palace. Meanwhile, the serpent went around the whole place. For the Gobdelfahrt we have certainly stale for an hour, although we were assigned a certain time for this purpose. By allocating time for the entrance of St. Mark's Basilica, we actually saved time. With the pass you can enter the cathedral but only. If you like the altar or similar inside. this will cost additional admission. Overall, the pass has disabled us more than helped. We had a lot of stress collecting tickets and time slots. A beautiful city - but rather without a pass! This is better regulated in other cities. I would like to have my money back!
Regardless of the fact that the promotional statements are very differentiated from our point of view, the on-site employment at several individual offices was not as smoothly possible as shown at the time of sale. The descriptions were also not so good, so much time was needed for the correct orientation. We would never buy such a passport anymore. And for public transport you can also get along well at the airport or at the outlets in the city.
For students / people under 26, the citypass is hardly worth it, as there is reduced admission everywhere. Some of the churches that are on the church pass with it are also in vain anyway. All in all, buy the important tickets locally if you are there in the off-season or pre-order on the official Italian pages if you are there in the main season. Significantly cheaper on site, also you can often negotiate by reducing the price! The public transport I would not book here! When you arrive at the airport there are outlets that are super dammed and much cheaper. For me it was not worth it at all! The citypass was thrown out money! In addition, he was not like me on the page is 48h after ordering and payment receipt sent but much too late and only after I asked by mail where my citypass remains.
