3.00This is a super idea in theory, I had problems booking a trip on Sunday, I had to get on to help on line that transfered me to a person who gave me a number to ring. End result got nowhere only lost valuable time I could have been using my pass for other activities. When it works its super, but very frustrating when it doesnt work. The pass was on Go City but purchased with viator.
Great way to set up NYC exploration

5.00We had 4 full days in NYC so purchased a pass for this duration. Very easy to use and set up, all via the GO City app. We set up an idea of itinerary for when and where we would be each day and set this around the trip available as part of the pass to maximise value. We ended up doing 13 things available on the passes. A few of them you can pre book but lots of flex to amend. Some things don’t operate everyday.
Not happy

2.00The tour guide for the 9/11 monument area was Fabulous. However, very difficult to book, and very expensive cost for each attraction on top of the base cost.

3.00I purchased this Pass hoping to be able to see alot of attractions and "skip the line" as it states. I visited several of the sites included in the pass, and never "skipped the line". I waited for the One World Trade Observatory for over two hours. The 9/11 Memorial was closed the day I wanted to go. The Edge had to be seen after 4:30 or you had to pay an additional $15 if you were there before 4:30. I scheduled a visit to the Statue of Liberty with Platform access, and the Platform access was closed. If you're going to the Top of the Rock, be sure to check the weather. I couldn't go up on my scheduled time because of a "white out" and no visibility. The HopOn HopOff Bus was a joke. Most busses were filled to capacity, and the people in the streets gave sh**ty directions so bad that I wandered up and down four blocks before actually finding an employee who gave a s*#@ enough to direct me where to stand. Most of the sightseeing tours (cruises) were booked and not available. I would suggest a lot of planning before purchasing more than one day with this pass. Also, get a Metro Card, download the MTA app, and get to your destinations a lot quicker with little to no wait.
