Worth it! We went twice in 30 days

5.00I purchased this for Mother's Day weekend with my son and it was an excellent value. We ended up doing the Golden gate bridge cruise and that was amazing! We also did the exploratorium but that day admission was free so I ended up saving one of my three activities. We went to the aquarium and although it was very small it was quick to go through and our favorite part were the touch tanks and shark tunnel. The employees were really nice and we got to touch baby stingrays. I probably would not have paid for this admission on its own but it was a good deal through the go City pass. We ran out of time so I booked another trip to come back and we came back in June within the 30 days and went to the zoo. The zoo was amazing and much bigger than I thought it would be! I will definitely be using go City again!
A great idea

5.00We purchase the 4 pass explorer pass . I wouldn’t normally purchase these Type of things but I did my research Into the places we wanted to visit and it was worth every penny . We went to San Francisco . This pass worked for us as we could decide when and where we wanted to visit , turn up and show the digital pass on the app . Everywhere was accepting - and it worked like a dream . I would definately do this again
Great price to a San Francisco experience!

Disappointing pass experience

1.00I signed up to do a biking tour of SF, but it was cancelled due to not enough people. I only found out when I turned up for the tour as no one contacted me beforehand. I ended up renting a bike to cycle by myself - it was not an ideal way to spend the little time I had in the city. It's a shame that the pass didn't make sightseeing the city easier as I had hoped.
Great way to Experience San Francisco

4.00GO City passes were a great asset to have on this trip. The cable car passes were a little daunting to get but otherwise was great experience! The bridge to bridge cruise and Hop on Hop Off Bus was a wonderful tour of the city. You can opt to pay $20 for an extra day if you missed some of the sites.
