Great trip to visit Boston. The City Pass made our visit very easy to see as many attractions as we had time for. While we didn't get to visit all 40 places what we did see was an excellent value. I added up the actual cost of individual tickets from the places we visited and that would have cost us $133.00 per person The City Pass for 3 days was $69.00 per person, so we saved about 50% off of Ticket prices and that was an EXCELLENT savings. So Thanks very much for making our visit to Boston not only wonderful, but very affordable. Mark & Mark, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

This was a great little deal. Although I was unable to go to some be aware that the Sam Adams tour is not at the tap room but further down south of Boston. Secondly the Witch museum in Salem is impossible to book during the last week of October I tried for three days at 5 am and could not get a time slot.

This was an excellent tour. Our guide Christopher was very insightful and created an enjoyable environment. He was knowledgeable at each of our stopping points and answered each of our questions! He gave my favorite tour during my time in Boston. I would do this tour again in the future!

It was very useful and saved us lots of money. We only had two days use and could have used it more if the attractions had opened at 9am instead of 10am but that is not the Go City cards fault. All in all it was an excellent purchase.

Ive always said this is the best way to stretch your tourism dollar so many options!
