Rome & Vatican card Reviews 238

Good location, nice apartement, good staff.

It was very good. it IS the better way you Can save money and visit Rome while saving money and at a really minimal cost.

Not clear advise , the card wasn't recognised at places ,tourists information couldn't tell me where to pick the cards up . Why send some qr codes but not the ones that are needed to gain entrance.

You should buy one by one. Our home is at heart of rome so we didnt use bus or train

This is false advertisement as there is no such thing as skip the line.
Couldn't book the Colosseum through the roma card so i had to pay for a tour separately
The only thing I managed to book with the omnia card was the vatican again due to things being booked up even tho like the Colosseum i could book separately through someone else
All in all this was useless and cost me more money in the long run

The Roma Card was easy to use and provided us the means to visit more distant sites, like Ostia Antica and Museo di Casal de’ Pazzi.
The staff as the Omnia storefront were very helpful.

The card works well, in fact it was the only way to gain access to the different places we wanted to visit, otherwise the entrances were sold out. That means you have to spend much more in purchasing the card as opposed to buying the tickets at a regular price in the official websites.

Once this point is accepted, I could give five starts because the attention of the lady who delivered the card to us at the Vatican office was fantastic. She cleared all our doubts and explained everything in a detailed and patient fashion, we found her amazing.

The reason for the four stars is because it would be much better to receive the card digitally. It would make the process simpler and also much more reliable. The timings to collect the card physically are a bit narrow, so you need to adapt to their timeframe.

Once you buy the card online if you follow the instructions you are able to book the visits (before collecting the card), it's a bit complex but if you follow the instructions it works well.

There is an option to receive it at home, but the system doesn't clarify how far in advance needs to the ordered, so we weren't sure we could request it.

In general we were happy with the card, but if you are planning in advance I would recommend checking the official website to get tickets at a more reasonable price.

It is a true that the card also includes the hop off-on buses but this wasn't a fantastic experience. It includes three different companies, but due to the traffic in Rome it wasn't easy to catch any of them without a long wait (another queue in Rome). Likewise the buses are a bit old and dirty, so it made the ride uncomfortable.

In any case, my main doubt was the reliability and in this regard it worked very well, I can recommend it.

There are not so many points to get your card when You bought it via internet, the schedules are too bad

Our trip isn't until September but I really liked the fact that tickets could be delivered to my home rather than trying to find pickup location once we get there.

I paid omnia card and roma pass nothing was free except Vaticano museum and Colosseo romano forum palatino i should pay for every other attractions !!!
Don't buy this card it is useless you can directly a cut file ticket without pay 150 €.

I definitely don't recommend Omnia Card and Roma Pass because it's clearly a scam, at a price of €149. You should already know that firstly, Rome is a city where you walk a lot, which is part of its charm, so you will hardly use the bus or the metro during your stay. Secondly you have to collect these cards in an office and there are only 2 places in the city... but send it to us digitally on the internet, it is 2023!! Third, you are obliged to book your visits with this card, you say to yourself great I will go before everyone else in the queues, that is not true, I have always waited in the queues at each visit. You book Saint Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, when you arrive you realize that the visit is actually free! You say to yourself too bad I'm going to visit the Dome thanks to these cards, no you have to pay €8 extra to be able to go up to the Dome of the Vatican. If you want to visit the Borghese Gallery, it's impossible there is never a place, you have to book a week in advance but no one tells you that. So when you arrive in Rome 3 days before the date you would like to visit, it's too late (I sent an email to the Borghese Gallery to find out if I could still visit, but I never got a response). Visiting the Colosseum is of very little interest, you cannot go to the heights of the Colosseum otherwise you have to pay extra and you have hordes of tourists. The Colosseum is more interesting on the outside than on the inside so once again no need for maps. In addition you must automatically pay a supplement of €2 to reserve the Colosseum. In fact in 72 hours you will probably visit 4 or 5 attractions which will have cost you €70 and again I'm being generous, here you pay €149, it's a scandal.

Our Omnia cards, ordered 11/18 never arrived. I'm still waiting on them.

Useless card and service, I want my money bavk

After 7.5 hours, i can definitely state that the museum got my attention. Its Egyptian collection is amazing and the rest of the collection was too.

Email with tickets for Musei Vaticani not delivered. Obviously no one picking up the phone and I had to run back to the office at Piazza San Pietro.
The offer of Omnia Card is reduced (no priority entrance for Basilica San Pietro, and no possibility to enter the Colosseo and no guided visit at Musei vaticani (it was offered in the past)). Is the third and definitely LAST time that I’ve purchased an Omnia Card.

We were worried as we thought you had to book the coliseum and there were no dates left on the 3 days we were in Rome . However we presented our omnia Roma pass to the ticket office at the coliseum and we’re given tickets to visit straight away . We pre booked Vatican museum and jumped the ques . Had an amazing time . Visited many attractions. Also used the tour hop on and off bus with the card . And used public transport with the Roma pass . The castle was also amazing . You don’t pay any extra . These cards are great value for money . Just a tip . We ordered cards a couple of weeks before we travelled and paid to get them delivered to our home , before we travelled . Well worth the money .. we had the Roma Vatican pass and omnia …

Really bad. With the Omnia card, they are happy to accept money before you can check if there are available visit times for the 3 days you visit Rome. So basically you pay and they provide no visits especially to the Vatican museum and the Sistine Chapel and also they don't provide refunds for that with the excuse that the card is valid for 1 year. Stay away.

So just to make it simple, do not buy the omnia + Roma pass ... As you cannot collect the Roma pass from roma pass collection point, bit you have to go all the way to Vatican , so you have to buy public transport ticket to get there while you already paid for it . Roma pass point do not deliver the pass you bought ... And there are only two collection points, one is closed at 1pm and on Sundays... Also, as it is not proper Roma pass, the pre booking for museum is hell as you have to go to all different site every time...they were very prompt at getting the paiement,bit nothing when it came to help ..so if you arrive on a Saturday afternoon,you won't be able to collect your card easily....

Easy to order will update once we have collected x
