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.

Turbopass Honest Review - We bought the TurboPass without transportation. Bus is accessible and not much verified as well as the underground. Turbopass IS NOT the Roma Pass despite it sends you a printable form of it. You may have access to certain things with one but not the other. After using it for 5 days the only reason I would consider buying it is if you cannot buy the official tickets. Colosseum tickets seem to only be available 30 days prior to chosen booking day and includes Forum and Palatine. Lines were big even in October. Castel St. Angelo does did not have lines at all and representative was there as described. Turbopass was recognized in all stated sites however note that many of those in the site are already free. GALLERY BORGHESE IS NOT INCLUDED in turbopass. If you are short in time or have trouble navigating ticket buying it's a great choice. We were given tickets from 3.30 to 5 PM in Vatican and was incredibly short visit. For this I would have chosen to change the dates instead of trusting Turbo pass timings. It all went well with Hop and Off however the pick up point near colosseum is difficult to find (street ahead near traffic lights after you pass colosseum at your right).

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.

Poor - We were a group of 5 friends who all went to Rome together. Our experience with the Turbopass really did not live up to our expectations. For example, we had all booked the Vatican. 4 of us received our ticket by email as expected but one of us did not receive her ticket. It was marked in very small letters that she had to go and collect her ticket at another place, it was not well explained, in short she was not able to visit the Vatican and waited for us for 2 hours alone outside... In addition the How the pass works is not well explained, you cannot choose the times to visit the monuments and I do not necessarily recommend this 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.

If you like having obstacles put in your way, then go for it! - The Turbopass was one of the biggest bad investments we have made so far. The Turbopass made Rome - my third vacation in 2024 - by far the most stressful. Nothing works as promised: the ticket sellers are not in the agreed places, so you have to walk through half of Rome, often in the pouring rain, to get a ticket. Despite meticulous planning in advance, we almost didn't see all the sights because the Turbopass kept putting obstacles in our way. In the end, we had to buy new tickets for the Vatican due to an error on Turbopass's part, and of course we couldn't expect any support from Turbopass when selling the old ones. For anyone who likes having obstacles constantly put in their way, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Turbopass. Planning security is successfully prevented with the Turbopass.
