    Disappointing, and terrible customer care

    We were excited to book a hop on hop off bus pass and attractions. We planned to get an overview of Rome by riding the bus our first day. After finding the unmarked office to pick up the pass, we were directed to the closest stop for bus pick up. Long story short, we spent several hours waiting and returning to the office but no bus ever came. It ruined one day of travel. I contacted the company but they refused a refund and were unsympathetic to our problem. I want to warn others, there are many hop on hop off bus services in Rome. Omnia is overpriced and unreliable.

    Research all pricing on your to do list before buying.

    These tickets would be worth it if you are planning a long trip to Rome to visit many museums, but we figured out it would have been way cheaper to just book on your own if you are only there for a few days.

    They were very friendly. We were with our son of twelve years old and they helped us very good with picking things to see. Chiara was amazing

    Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! We're delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience. It's always wonderful to know our team made you feel welcome and supported, especially when travelling as a family. Exploring with your twelve-year-old sounds like such a fun adventure, and we're so glad we could help make it easier by suggesting the right attractions for you all. A special shout-out to Chiara — we’ll make sure she sees your kind words! She’ll be thrilled to know she made a difference. We hope you created some unforgettable memories together and we’d love to welcome you back for another trip soon.

    Good but only if you take advantage what's on offer

    Good value for money, but would strongly advice a lot of planning. Just be aware everything is within half hour walk on from the center.

    Response from the operator: Hello, We really appreciate your feedback and it will be used to help identify gaps and improve our service. We will try our best to improve our communication with the attractions. So, Go City users, don't face this kind of problem in future. It is great to hear that you enjoyed using the pass from Go City. We hope to serve you in near future. Best Regards, Go City

    Truly terrible experience

    I rarely write any reviews online but I feel the need to do so. My family of four wanted to go to the Colosseum and Vatican Museums. The best is if you can book the tickets online directly from the official websites. The problem is they must restrict how many tickets they release on their website so the tickets get sold out. To be exact, the Colosseum tickets, without the underground or attic, are readily available but it's almost impossible to get the underground or the attic tickets directly from the website. In my case, the Vatican Museum tickets were also sold out on the dates so I found that if I buy the Omnia Card, which comes with Roma Pass, I can get tickets to the Vatican Museum. Once I bought the Omnia Card, I now had more options to choose dates/times for the Vatican Museum. (1) Colosseum --> I arrived at Rome in the evening of 4/23. I had tickets to the Colosseum at 8:30am on 4/24. I waited in line and once it was time to scan the tickets, I was told that I had to physically show the Roma Pass along with the tickets. I explained that the place to pick up the Roma Pass closes at 4pm and opens at 9am so I had no chance to pick up the Roma Pass. I tried showing the e-mail that shows I bought the Roma Pass but to no avail. This also happened to two other couples behind me. So unfortunately, we all had to go to the St John in the Lateran Basilica to pick up the Roma Pass, and back to the Colosseum. When we got to the Colosseum, the agent said we missed our entrance time and had to rebook. Fortunately, another agent remembered us, must have felt bad and let us in (2) Vatican Museum --> Once we bought the Omnia Card and reserved the time for the Vatican Museum, I got an e-mail with four QR codes, one for each member of the family, and with the statement "Below are the reservation confirmations and entrance tickets." They sure sound like entrance tickets to me. However, when I picked up the Omnia Card, I was given a print out which said I should get the official voucher within 24 hours before the entrance time and the entrance tickets with QR codes are meaningless. My entrance time was 4pm. I called at 9am since I haven't received the "official" tickets and ORP said they are busy but I SHOULD get it before 4pm. I finally did up getting the "official tickets" around 11am. The ORP rep also told me that with Omnia Card, I can "skip the line" When asked exactly how this works, she told me to just go straight to the front of the line, show the pass, and they should let you in. This did not happen. I had to wait like everyone else.

    Response from the operator: Hello, I'm really sorry to hear about the issues you faced during your trip. It sounds like you had quite a frustrating experience with both the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums. It's disappointing when things don't go as planned, especially when you've made all the necessary preparations. For the Colosseum, it must have been very stressful to have to go back and forth to pick up the Roma Pass and then miss your entrance time. It's good to hear that one of the agents was understanding and let you in eventually. Regarding the Vatican Museums, the confusion with the Omnia Card and the "official" tickets sounds very frustrating. It's unfortunate that the "skip the line" feature didn't work as promised, and you had to wait like everyone else. Please reach out to us on email address: reviews@gocity.com with your order details so, we can assist you with the issue. Awaiting your response. Regards, Go City

    Rome: Vatican Pass plus Top Attractions and Transport: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.

    How much does Rome: Vatican Pass plus Top Attractions and Transport cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Rome: Vatican Pass plus Top Attractions and Transport take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.

    Is Rome: Vatican Pass plus Top Attractions and Transport worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 1,244 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Rome: Vatican Pass plus Top Attractions and Transport?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Rome: Vatican Pass plus Top Attractions and Transport suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Rome: Vatican Pass plus Top Attractions and Transport?

    +

    Around 435 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Rome: Vatican Pass plus Top Attractions and Transport start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rome?

    +

    Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*, Pasta Making & Wine Tasting with Dinner in Frascati from Rome, Rome: Pizza & Tiramisu or Gelato Class with Flowing Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rome?

    +

    April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rome?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
