Unfortunately, the visit to the Basilica did not take place because of the early hourly closure that was not indicated either in the reminder email,sent on May 3, or on site near the site. Access to the Basilica was barred by staff and tickets were not validated. Unfortunately, it was not possible to postpone the visit to the next day since the departure from Paris was scheduled for the evening of May 4. Truly disappointing!!!

It's an important heritage site, but it's not promoted in any way: dull lighting, explanations that are sometimes difficult to read, impersonal, open spaces that don't invite you to visit... A welcome that leaves something to be desired.

The guide was good and thorough, explained well and added some anecdotes and trivia about the stadium. Although the tour had been in French and not Italian, I was able to understand quite a few things. The children were very satisfied. Unfortunately, there was no turf because a concert had taken place the day before and other concerts were scheduled for the following days. This mishap should have been pointed out at the time of booking.

The good organization and fun way the tour is conducted is special. Stepping into the stadium from the catacomb as a team of soccer players with cheering supporters from the empty stands :p gave goosebumps. Stade de France is not just a soccer stadium, it is much more than that where also many events take place. Incredibly clever how it all works. My grandson and I enjoyed it very much and a big thumbs up for our guide.

The friendliness of our guide and the other guides, who made the visit even better (by forming a guard of honour as our "team" left the changing room). It's just a pity that there are no FFR, FFF or other personalities left. The guided tour and the museum film complement each other very well. Enjoy your visit

We had it for the maximum period of 6 days because we were in Paris for a week. You don't save a ton of money, but just booking the time slots makes things a lot easier when you get there. The week was planned out in advance, but there's no other way if you want to see/experience something. Queuing up on site is usually pointless because it's very busy in July and August. We always had two activities a day, except for Versailles. You need a whole day for that. Everything worked out great...but you should definitely book a time slot wherever possible. The times were always kept to and we got everywhere on time. I would do it again anytime.

I found out about Turbo pass while researching visiting attractions in Paris. It seemed as a good choice as we stayed there for a week and wanted to see as much as we could. Me and my partner made an order 3 days pass + free 4 days museum pass and it was an excellent choice. It is very easy to navigate and everything was written on the pass how to use it for each attraction.Unfortunately, 7 days in Paris were not enough to see everything that is meant with this pass but we managed to see so much. I especially loved Museum pass as you don't have to wait in a line. It saves time and energy. With well planned visits, you can see so much. I would recommend to check in advance where you have to book a ticket in advance for your visit as it can happen they don't have free time slots during your stay. However, it's well spent money and definitely payed off. We saved a lot of money and time

Everything worked fine. It was my first time in Paris. You have to plan everything carefully if you want to achieve a lot. Also, don't forget to book early tickets with the entry time slot on the websites. I had Turbopass for 2 days. I've been to Saint Chapelle, Museum de Cluny, Pantheon, Museum d'Orsay, Versailles, Arc de Triumph, Boat trip, Invalides, Guided tour of Montmartre and VR Paris View Fly360 (the only thing I wouldn't recommend). I didn't make it to the Louvre, you have to plan almost the whole day for that. I didn't save an enormous amount, but a lot (30-40 euros). I had no problems with the ticket. You just have to take into account that the buses don't come on time, so it's better to use the metro.

Buying the Turbopass was a great thing. We bought it for Paris with 6 people. Lots of great booking options and very varied. And you save a lot of money compared to individual bookings. It was inconvenient that you always had to laboriously type in the people's numbers somewhere when booking, then replace the temporary QR codes with the correct ones on site (which led to quite a wait when there were long queues on site). An app that contains all the tickets would also be good, instead of emails for each booking. It was also not clear that the hop-on hop-off bus is only available for 24 hours after redemption and not for the duration of the booking. In our case it was 5 days. It would also be a good idea to be able to book public transport tickets at the same time, at a discount. Because you almost always need these in big cities. All in all, the purchase was well worth it.

The turbo pass is worthwhile for anyone who wants to get as much history as possible in Pais. You should prepare well, because most attractions still have to be reserved in advance. Clear homepage and good price performance.

The Turbopass is not just called that, it says it all. You don't have to wait long at attractions or sights where others queue for hours. Instead, you walk past the queues in a relaxed manner (in turbo mode). I can only recommend the Turbopass to everyone.
