The Go City Explorer pass was money well spent. The tickets was in the app and easy to scan from one location in the mobile device. It was great value compared to purchasing tickets separately. We had a great time in December in NYC!!

Tour of St Patrick's Cathedral
Our tour guide was actively involved with st patricks church working on her credentials. Very knowledgeable about the church history and current day activities. Included info about the vision, the architects, and the builders from past to present. No discussion about religion was included.

A little disappointed
The tour guide was not the usual guide per her information. The 2hr tour started 20 min late and lasted 70 min.
I think there were more stories to be shared about the Cathedral but we did not receive them. Disappointed.

Rachel and Juan did an excellent job on this tour. Rachel is very knowledgeable about NY. Even though I have been to NY several times, she took us to places I have never seen and explained these places. If I ever get back to NY I would do another tour with Rachel. She and Juan are a great asset to Viator.

Had an amazing time. The weather was a bit chilly but we we’re both covered up and were able to enjoy the experience without letting it bother us.

Johannes rocks!
We had a great experience with Johannes! He was prompt, knowledgeable, athletic, open to our time line and we saw more than we imagined we could see in one day! Great personality and very enjoyable!
He is truly a gracious host and a joy to spend your day with!

Peter was absolutely amazing! He customized our entire time on the tour to meet our needs and desires. He was knowledgeable but also knew when to let us just enjoy what we were doing. He did more than I ever thought you could do in 4 hours time and he truly became a quick friend. Our driver was also amazing. He was always there right when we needed him. We went on multiple tours throughout our travels and Peter made this by far our best tour that we had and with his love for New York it made us love New York. We would go again in a heartbeat.

Quick but informative!
Good overview of the Cathedral. Went during December, so saw some Christmas related displays. Worth it.

Great Midtown Walking Tour!
We had a great walking tour in NYC starting at Grand Central Terminal and ending in Times Square. Having a 3 hr private tour was perfect for us. We saw so many other groups that had 15+ people. Patrick, our tour guide, was very friendly and so knowledgeable. The off the beaten path facts were great. Definitely recommend!

New York City pass on short break
Pass was easy to use at our chosen attractions - all ticket staff seemed familiar with it which isn’t always the case in some locations

Great way to get to know a city!
The app was easy to use and a great way to spend a couple of extra hours we had in Miami. It did a great job of geo-locating us and telling stories about where we were.
