based on 2,966 reviews

The guide was super knowledgeable. Such an informative and enjoyable day. Only downside was the early start and wait … we arrived at the advised time of 8.15 but security only opened at 9am and there was then a wait for the ferry.

Excellent city pass with very efficient and fast entry to main attractions and offering a good discount. Even the attractions where reservations were needed we could entry immediately after arrival.

Great to visit a lot of different places in NY without spending as much if you’ll pay for it separately! I recommend choosing the 5 sites one

The NY pass is a great choice to see all the iconic places and save money. Can totally recommend it.

Absolutely a must if your visiting New York saves you so much money
