Having the New York Pass made life a lot easier for me with 2 children aged 8 and 10 years. Lots of info in the guidebook. The only problem we had on our visit was the huge queues, especially at the Empire State Building. Also, it wasn't always clear as to which queue we should join or if there was an alternative route for pass holders. Better signage at attractions would really help visitors and save us time. Buying the Pass from Viator.com definitely saved us money; it was the best deal I found online.

Fun, fun! Saved a bunch of money! Reasonably priced.

Some of the sites did not open early enough, or stay open long enough for visitors to take full advantage of the New York scene. That's no fault of Viator's, and I would recommend the purchase of this card to everyone. It would be advantageous to increase the size of the print in the guide that comes with the pass for the over-40 crowd. Good job!

This is definitely worth it, but only if you sit down and plan carefully. First get the list of tours, museums, rides, etc. that is available through the pass. Decide which ones you want to go for. Be realistic about the number of things you can fit in one day. Then compare the sum of the actual cost for each element if you were to pay separately to what you will pay for the card. I managed to save a lot on a two-day pass - not bad at all since I was on a really tight budget on the last leg of a trip through six cities!

Fantastic way to see NY and get some history thrown in too! Start early if you want to sit on top of the bus. Don't forget to use your discount in Macy's.

I think this is a really good deal for the money, especially if you are going to be in New York for a long period of time. I was there for such a short period of time that I didn't get to do many things, and there were some conflicts with some of the attractions I tried to go to. However, for the attractions that I was able to go to I did end up saving a lot of money. Great deal!

If you are prepared to walk, and I mean walk a lot, then this pass is for you. It gives you the freedom to go and do what you want when you want. I had prepared an itinerary of what we wanted to see using the city map as a guide, and it was just perfect. My only small disappointment, and this is really not related to the pass per se, is that I found at the Empire State Building they let too many people observe at one time. It was so crowded you could barely walk around, and to get a good view you really had to fight for a spot.

I should have gotten it the first day to make it more usable, but it was very good.

This is a great way to see New York. We made the mistake of booking some things before we arrived and didn't get the discount offered. We did the seven-day pass. I don't think you'd get your money's worth for fewer days. It was good to walk pass the queues.

If only we had more time to do more things available with this pass it is well worth the money. Madame Tussuad's was fantastic.

The pass was very useful and convenient to use. Would have been helpful to know in advance of our trip where each of the points of interest are located so that we could plan our day more appropriately.

The pass was excellent, though we did not have enough time to do all we wanted.
