Bye bus - In just over an hour it allows you to cross the most famous neighborhoods of New York and realize the differences between one and the other. obviously it is a quick route that allows you to understand something without going into too much detail, but the numerous stops allow you to get off and get back on the next bus. I think it is more useful to do it at the beginning of your trip in order to see the areas that are most interesting and then go on foot. One passes every 15 minutes and if you want to opt to stay on the upper floor to see the city better, you need to cover up if you do it in the winter months because it is quite cold. on board you will be given free headphones that you can attach to your seat and hear the story of what you are seeing in the language of your choice. Definitely a very interesting tour especially if you are tired and want to see the city without moving too much.

Woodbury Common Bus Timetable Incorrect - I'll start with the bad. My wife and I purchased the 4 attraction pass, and decided to venture out to Woodbury Common. The bus out and ticket process was fine. However, as soon as I received my electronic tickets, I received an email with amongst other things, the return times back to Manhattan. Once our shopping trip was complete (bought nothing!!), we stood at the bus stop with other passengers waiting for the bus to arrive.....the time of pickup passed by, and we waited for the next bus.... again no bus arrived. By this time we were cold and agitated. We then looked at the official bus operators timetable, and there was a discrepancy between the times listed on their website versus the times listed from the email!! We weren't prepared to wait for another 1.5hrs, so we ended up sharing an Uber back to Manhattan at a cost of $150usd (split between us and another disgruntled customer). Have emailed twice and no response, despite their own 48hr sla to respond!! On a positive, other attractions using the pass included the hop on & off bus, The Rock, The Statue of Liberty cruise & One @ WTC all worked perfectly.

Early buyers beware - read the small print - I bought the pass again at the beginning of the year because I was visiting in December 2022 when I also had this pass, because I knew what to expect and what it could do. Unfortunately, they have changed and removed a few attractions that I had firmly planned to visit. Therefore, I would highly recommend buying it shortly before the trip and especially reading the small print, as sometimes you only get access with the pass at certain times. It must also be said that you are put at the back of the queue at attractions with this pass. Insurance for the pass: only applies if the pass has not yet been used. If you have several attractions and were unable to do one because it was thrown out of the program, nothing will be refunded. Contact requests have not been answered so far, so rather steer clear! My recommendation is to book everything individually through GYTG. I did the math and the pass was more expensive than with GYTG bookings.

AVOID THIS AT ALL COST / NO CUSTOMER SERVICE / MISLEADING INFORMATION / ATTRACTIONS NOT INCLUDED - Terrible experience, no customer service, attractions not included, hop on bus broken, i ended up paying more than what the pass promised, returned 3 days ago and still waiting for an answer. This is the worst experencie ever. Go NYCity pass instead. You will end up paying attractions as you are already there, they will now answer you, they will not honor the commitments, and you will end up frustrated while trying to manage the family expectations. AVOID --- Please check my horror story below trying to get and answer.... 4 out of 5 attractions failed De: Date: sáb, 16 de mar de 2024, 9:06 a. m.

Was a great start with a lot of expectation. 2. Madame Tusseaud - your website fell and was on maintenance. It stated we needed to reserve in advance, it was impossible during the whole day, I contacted you, no answer but an automatic mail saying it would take 1 day to get a customer service. We finally got in, after changing all plans and witouth knowing if we were going to be able to make it. Your site revived when we were there a did the reservation but all plans were sent to garbage. 3. Natural History Museum... as opposed to your site indications ga+1 is not included. Only ga. Kids planned to the additional attraction so had to pay. Your public information is not misleading, is i correct. Had to pay the extras. Lost value on your plans. 4. Hop on/off, big bus. 4 hours to make it to battery park. Bus broken, no notifications, 1 hour waiting inside the bus, we missed the schedule to go to the 90 min circle line as we planned 2 hours (info said 1.5hours) to do the loop. Not 4 hours for 7 stops. Kids almost crying. We decided to step down at battery park and take the ferry to liberty island. 5. As instructed in your app went to the ticket box, and they said that they do not take the passes, particularly the flex. They said you need to get another company. So I had pay 82 usd or would had been a disaster for the family. Your site is very explicit on this attraction. This is fraudulent. In summary, 80% failures, holidays plans scrapped, and a memorable trip almost ruined... for sure, been writing you for the last 2 days, no answer. Deduct the edge if you want, but I want a refund for the 2 adults, 2 kids. Tried to use as instructed, tried to communicate and all was very poorly managed and executed on your side. Please tell me again, how should I proceed to get this refund. XXX El mar, 12 de mar de 2024, 15:14, > escribió: After 2 hours we got to the ferry to liberty island. They DO NOT take the flex pass just the day pass. Not stated in your site. Had to pay another 82 usd. (Picture attached). Nothing worked. Nothing. I want a refund. This is terrible service. Terrible followup, you guys make a holiday twice as expensive and make a family trip to become a nightmare. Please tell me how to proceed.

Can I get a refund? 2 adults 2 kids.. will never buy from you again guys. This sucks. You almost made the trip for the kids to hate it.

Data security issues/Other peoples passes on my account!!! - This one is a little different. I purchased three 4 day passes on 31st January. The payment was successful and I received the email confirmation. However, I received two additional emails for pass purchase confirmation which were not mine. Even though no money had been taken from my account for these, they were visible on my list of passes on my sightseeing account. There is more. I then checked my personal details on my account and they were not mine. Somehow, my account had been updated with somebody else's details, but not by me. I was very concerned by this and emailed [email protected] immediately with the details. I received a response the next day stating they had been removed from my account, but when checking they were still there. I replied straight away and provided details of this. It's been over five weeks now and the majority of my chase up emails have been ignored with the only update provided is that it's been passed to IT. Given this is a date security issue, I am shocked how bad the the lack of customer service on this has been. If by some chance anyone from sightseeingpass monitors these reviews, the reference for my issue is INF00527794. No other information is being shared, as the system should have everything I've provided. I am sick and tired of sending chaser emails and would like to be contacted directly on the email address linked to the issue on your system.

Don't buy This pass - Unreliable. We had booked a pass for 4 days in New York. The pass did not work for 1 full day due to a computer problem at their company. Emailed 4 times, called, sent via Instagram, Messenger... to ask for an extension of one day so that we could do all the planned attractions. Never had a response. Substandard customer service. Take another company that also offers passes

CRAP!! Expired our 3 day pass after the first DAY. AVOID! - Crap. We purchased a 3 day NYC sightseeing pass for 4 people for USD$1200+. Used it for one thing on the first day. On the second day the passes were all expired in the Viator app. We could not access any sights for a chunk of the day without paying at the attractions. When we told one of the people at the Intrepid museum they went out of their way to figure out how to get the passes through the web site. However by this stage it had already cost us lots extra. Very poor form Viator. From now on we will book direct and not through this dodgy organisation.

A total rip-off! - I am from Australia visiting my son, daughter-in-law and grandson. We went to New York for one day and found this pass in combination with hop on hop off bus. We paid usd144 per person and didn't manage to do a single tour as most tours were unavailable in busy times. As it was busy, standing in line we ran out of time to find out which tour is available. We tried ferry to statue of liberty, cruise on Hudson, world trade Center, empire state Building, all unavailable to use the pass. This company should not sell this ticket in busy times in this case! This is a rip-off and a con. We tried to talk to them but no refund, no help to any compensation. I will definitely let the travel agency in Australia know not to sell this company as they are a rip-off.

Do not purchase in winter; majority of activities are unavailable - Purchased these in advance having reviewed the activities I would do and budgeted if it was worth it. However the majority of activities that I wanted to do were either closed in winter, or had black out periods over Dec-Jan which is when we were there. You cannot access this information until after the tickets have been purchased. Additionally a lot of the activities you have to line up on the day to tune the sight pass into a ticket to the location you cannot book in advance online. (such as the rockerfeller). This means you line up early in the day only to find out that they are sold out for the next 5 days buy which time your pass will expire. Huge waste of money. When I contacted them looking for answers, there was no reply.
