Everything worked perfectly, some reviews very incomprehensible - Everything worked - we got tickets to the Vatican at the location, waited a maximum of 15 minutes, used the hop-on hop-off. All locations for tickets were super easy to find. Unfortunately, the Colosseum was in a time slot that made it impossible to see the Roman Forum, but we didn't plan well ourselves. Plus the Pantheon, Castel Sant'Angelo and the catacombs. Everything was really great, I don't understand the reviews. And "walking all over Rome" is just not true, there are locations in all the important corners of the city.

Very good pass with great attractions - Super pass which saved us a lot of time and money. We were able to explore Problems Rom and with the included Hop On Hop Off we got a great first overview. We found it positive that we could choose whether Vatican and Colosseum should be included. I’ve been to Rome before, that’s why I’d already seen the Colosseum and we only chose the Vatican. As described in the description, we had to pick up the Vatican ticket in advance from a ticket office, actually directly at the Vatican entrance, and then got to the Vatican quickly and easily. We could not choose the time, but that was also in the description before, so only one star deduction. Great City Pass which we also used in Florence, also highly recommended.

Overall good city pass. - There were high and lows. Details on were to collect tickets ie metro not clear. When asked for advise at other information offices staff were very rude and dismissive. Details of how to use your ticket entry points were not clear. Colossuem stumbled on entrance. Vatican could of quite easily stood the miles of queue. Suggestions , with tickets provide map and point locations on map woukd be helpful and pictures of entry points. Experienced some great trips, walking tour, catacombs excellent guides and managed to find locations for these.

interesting city pass with unseemly - The disadvantages are that for most sites you have to go to a tourist to make a pre-booking, that you then have to go to the site, find the person who has your pre-print ticket (actually the person waiting for us when he is there has a stack of pre-print tickets), to finally return to the site to present this ticket. Today, and having made several city passes, everything is dematerialized or refocused on the QR code of the city pass, but not in Rome a priori. By the way we had received the tickets of the parcel by email and for the Vatican the tickets arrived the day before for the next day we had not received anything about it, it was by asking the question to the hotel that we went to our private space where it was necessary to print these passes and it should be known that there is no guide in the formula and that the gardens are extra. Unfortunately there are few sites where you can directly scan the pass (Vicus Caprarius and Case Romane del Celio). The positives are that we can arrive at the time of booking to go directly to the site, by the way we did not know but our visit on the coliseum was around 4:30 pm time to go around and leave on the archaeological part, it was 5:50 pm (the site closes at 7:00 pm), they evacuated at 6:30 pm and therefore could not see a part. Admission to this part is valid for 3 days, do not be fooled like us because nobody will tell you and it is not specified in the city pass. To conclude, the pass would be more interesting if it wasn’t for this waste of time going from one ticket office to another (even if I think it’s related to the way Rome works) and especially if it has nothing to do with the pass , but it must be said, the management of public transport is catastrophic where you could stay 1 hour on the same bus station to wait for the right one, (we ended up doing a big game on foot because we go much faster). I did several city passes (florence, Venice New york) and only the QR code was enough. I think there is room for improvement for the Rome conference.

Often very inconvenient. You just wait at the "Fastline"... - .) Pantheon: It's actually incomprehensible that you have to pick up the tickets from a ticket office somewhere first. That takes longer than the normal queue. .) Castel Sant'Angelo: You then stand in the "Turbopass" queue. The waiting time was about the same as in the normal queue. .) Wax Museum: Almost no guests, so no queue either for Turbopass customers or for others. .) Hop On/Hop Off: Only one queue for all guests, so no fast line. .) Colosseum: No fast line for the Turbopass here either, so no improvement.

The best of Rome is free, so avoid this disappointing pass system - We had high hopes to this pass system which appeared to simplify the process of accessing the various sites in Rome. Our experience sadly fell far short of that. First the good - the tickets purchased (Rome pass, Vatican and Colosseum) all arrived in good time along with a plethora of information (more on that later). The people at Turbopass that you deal with via email are also pleasant enough. The bad... 1) Communication - one of the sites we visited - The Baths of Caracalla - which was on the ticket information would not accept the Rome Pass - after we walked an hour to get there! I later found out this had changed a couple of weeks before our trip but Turbopass hadn't bothered to tell us. Turbopass did offer a partial refund for the ticket price but we still ended up out of pocket. 2) Confusing information - Turbopass provide a 'map' for the Colosseum and instructions that you need to enter on time. Quite reasonably we went to gate number 1 on the map for the time (no instructions to say that isn't the right gate). Entered but were told we couldn't go into the Colosseum by the time we had made it to that section. So we ended up paying another €18 each to get inside. I've had a number of emails with Turbopass since then but all you get is that although they are "very sorry that you did not receive enough information about the Colosseum" and that they are "unable to refund the Colosseum tickets as they cannot be exchanged or cancelled" - who decides this other than Turbopass themselves? Every email ends with a phrase like "Thank you for your understanding!" - when you are complaining, is there ever a phrase more likely to make your blood boil! I am sure Turbopass believe they are selling a good product but having experienced it I cannot recommend it. If you do choose to go with them then please: 1) Consider not bothering with the Colosseum - it's far more impressive from the outside (free) than the inside. If you do go with the ticket - make sure you go to the gate at the Colosseum for the alotted time. 2) If you want a decidedly irrelgious experience or have a marble bust fetish then definitely choose the Vatican museum. The Sistine Chapel is like a cattle market with various officials barking at people to keep quiet while the Vatican sold audio guides burble on in the background. One last tip - don't bother with the pass for a Monday. Pretty much all the attractions included are closed. Something else Turbopass don't tell you. I might sound I don't like Rome, I don't. Rome is a fantastic city but the best parts are free to access. The Romans are amazing and soaking up the modern day culture is wonderful. The Trevi Fountain is a highligh - especially late at night. Our favourite Churches were Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola (again amazing and atmospheic after dark) and the Basilica of Saint Mary of the Angels and Martyrs, which looks like a ruin from outside but don't let that put you off. Both are free to get in. Happy travels!

Do not buy Turbo pass. - I would not advise anyone to buy Turbo pass if you tnink that you pay money for tickets to enter tourist attractions. You get only vouchers that you are supposed to exchange to entrence tickets. You must go to a definite place and meet a definite person to get tickets. We wanted to start visiting some attractions the same evening we arrived, but it turned out that the agents that give you tickets worked only til 5.00 p.m. even though the sites were open til 7.30 p.m. You must be ready to spend a lot of time on finding tickets. It"s much easier to book tickets on-line and get tickets sent to you in advance avoiding Turbo pass.

Would not use this site - I purchased two sets of passes one for Rome and one for Florence, Turbopass sent me passes for both. When we got to the Colosseum the tickets did not work and thus given the very long lines we were unable to get in, We showed them to 3 different Colosseum workers and they said they did not recognize them. We then went to the Vatican and again were told the tickets were not valid so we were unable to get in there as well. We went to Florence three days later and those tickets worked. I wrote to Turbopass asking for my $200 back for the Rome tickets and they refused. They keep sending me emails telling me that they did everything right - perhaps they did, but the tickets did not work at two locations no matter what they claim. I travel to Europe every year and use these type of passes and have never had an issue until this time with Turbopass. I gave up on the emails with them as it was obvious they were going to keep with their story and not refund my money. I cannot emphasize strongly enough do NOT use Turbopass!! I surely never will again.

Absolutely avoid. Not professional at all 😡😡😡 - Flee this platform. It ruined our stay in Rome. We are a group of 8 people, we had booked 6 months ago to visit the Colosseum in Rome. 4 days before our departure Turbopass sent us an email explaining that we could no longer visit the coliseum because the day we had was a public holiday in Italy (April 25) and that it no longer had dates to offer us. Why didn't they warn us earlier......it's really unprofessional of them 😡😡😡😡. No matter how much we send them emails, he no longer responds. Listen to me and seriously don't go through the Turbopass platform.
