New York Pass Reviews

• Jean-François D.: “The New York Pass is the best pass in my opinion if you want to explore New York thoroughly.”
• Lionel F.: “I confirm this pass is fantastic! When you see everything you can do with it, you wouldn’t have done half as much if you’d paid for each tour separately. Note that some guided tours ask for a credit card as a deposit—if you don’t show up, they charge it. You can cancel 24 or 48 hours before with no problem, otherwise just show up at the meeting point so they can scan your New York Pass code.”
• Brigitte A.-S.: “Excellent pass.”
• Anthony P.: “We chose the 3-day New York Pass (over a week) because, besides the must-sees, we wanted to do Madame Tussauds and the USS Intrepid, which aren’t included in the City Pass (though I think one of them might be added to the City Pass soon). With the New York Pass, the duration depends on which package you choose, but there are way more attractions than the City Pass offers. If you move quickly, you can see a lot. For us it was a bit trickier since we had our little one in a stroller…”
• Géraldine P.: “I got this pass before and it’s amazing. So many sites available.”
• Olga R.: “Sure, the pass is a bit pricey, but it’s the best! You go where you want, the list is long! Often there’s a special line, so no waiting.”
