From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 13.
The Colosseum is the most famous sight in the Italian capital and the symbol of Rome. With a circumference of 5220 metres and a height of 48 metres, it is the largest amphitheatre built in ancient Rome.
Many different museums belong to the Vatican in Rome. The Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, or Cappella Sistina as the Italians call it, is one of the top sights in Rome.
The Palatine Hill in Rome is one of the city's oldest areas, featuring impressive ruins and stunning views over the Roman Forum.
The fascinating construction of the current building dates back to the Roman Emperor Hadrian, who had it rebuilt as a temple in the second century AD. During the reign of Emperor Honorius, its use as a temple was permanently discontinued until the Middle Ages. It was consecrated as a Christian church in the sixth century. The official name of the Roman Catholic church is Santa Maria ad Martyres. The dome is an architectural masterpiece and delights both locals and tourists alike. The only source of light is the nine metre round hole at the highest point of the dome. The sunshine creates an unforgettable atmosphere.
The Roman Forum was once the social centre of Rome with many public buildings and monuments. Together with the Palatine Hill, it is now one of the largest and most important archaeological sites in Rome dating back to ancient times. At the end of the imperial era, the Roman Forum was a densely built-up complex that had developed over the centuries, with countless temples and religious buildings as well as political and commercial buildings. The last building to be constructed was the Column of Honour erected for Emperor Phocas in 608 A.D. After that, the ancient buildings slowly fell into disrepair and churches and fortresses were built on the site. Finally, the Forum Romanum served only as a quarry and cow pasture until excavations began in 1803.
The Sistine Chapel in the Vatican amazes with Michelangelo’s iconic ceiling fresco and stands as a masterpiece of Renaissance art.

Girls we dealt with was excellent and so helpful
Thank you for your lovely feedback! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that our team was excellent and so helpful. We’ll be happy to share your kind words with the team! Best regards, Your Turbopass Team
Turbopass is not very widespread in Rome. That means there are some activities that can be discounted with other passes but not with Turbopass. The redemption at the ticket stations is cumbersome. You need a time slot that you must reserve, and when you go to the ticket station with the confirmation, you receive an entry ticket when you show the Turbopass number. But where is it? I did not receive an invoice. No clear instructions about the process either. The cumbersome method makes redemption not easy, so one tends to forgo it. Then the pass is almost twice as expensive compared to individual activities. However, at least you still get entry ticket options from home. At the Pantheon, you can go straight in with the online ticket; you have to wait 15 minutes otherwise. At the Vatican Museums, we received a later time slot for the entry ticket, resulting in 30 minutes of waiting time plus waiting in line.
Vielen Dank für dein ausführliches Feedback. Wir verstehen, dass die Einlösung einzelner Leistungen und die notwendigen Reservierungsprozesse teilweise als umständlich empfunden werden können. Gerade bei stark nachgefragten Attraktionen wie dem Pantheon oder den Vatikanischen Museen werden die Abläufe häufig von den jeweiligen Partnern vorgegeben. Deine Hinweise zur Transparenz der Informationen und zur Nutzung des Passes nehmen wir sehr ernst und werden diese nutzen, um unsere Anleitungen und Prozesse weiter zu verbessern. Beste Grüße Dein Turbopass Team
So booking etc. worked wonderfully. But for a family with 2 teenagers, the pass is absolutely not financially worthwhile. Comparison for 4 days: 615 euros paid, equivalent usage about 270 euros (!) By the fact that the attractions are significantly cheaper compared to e.g. England and free or discounted for under-18s. Organizationally, it makes things easy because you have shuttle transfer, public transport ticket and important admissions from a single source. But you can also search everything online with a little more effort. So from my point of view only for adults, who then also visit several attractions and museums every day.
Vielen Dank für Ihr ausführliches Feedback und Ihre ehrliche Einschätzung. Wir verstehen Ihre Kritik bezüglich des Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnisses insbesondere für Familien mit Jugendlichen. Bitte beachten Sie jedoch, dass viele der im Pass enthaltenen Leistungen – wie z. B. der ÖPNV, Transfers, Stadtführungen, Hop Hop Off bus, oder bestimmte Attraktionen – auch für Kinder und Jugendliche kostenpflichtig sind und nicht immer kostenfrei oder ermäßigt angeboten werden. Unsere Kinderpreise spiegeln zudem genau diese Leistungen wider, und alle tatsächlich kostenlosen Attraktionen für Kinder und Jugendlichen werden von uns selbstverständlich nicht berechnet. Wir legen großen Wert darauf, faire und transparente Preise zu gestalten, die den tatsächlichen Umfang der genutzten Leistungen berücksichtigen. Wir freuen uns, dass die Buchung und Abwicklung reibungslos funktioniert hat und Sie organisatorisch von unserem Service profitieren konnten. Ihre Rückmeldung hilft uns sehr, unser Angebot weiter zu optimieren – vielen Dank dafür!
The Turbopass greatly facilitated our stay in Rome. Tickets for the Vatican and the Coliseum were already booked, so we avoided the queues. We also enjoyed the visit to the Coliseum underground and the access to public transport included in the pass. The instructions are clear and customer service is very responsive when needed. An excellent way to optimize your time and visit Rome with confidence.
Merci beaucoup pour votre excellent retour ! Nous sommes ravis que le Turbopass ait facilité votre séjour à Rome et que vous ayez apprécié les visites et l’accès aux transports en commun. C’est un plaisir de savoir que les instructions claires et notre service client ont contribué à rendre votre expérience sereine. Au plaisir de vous accompagner à nouveau !
Great city and with the pass we could see super much. Vatican and Colosseum were already reserved in advance, which saved us a lot of stress. Very surprising was the included underground tour, really good. We had a great time !
