Go City® Review by UntoldMiles - Huge Savings Worldwide
What is Go City®
Go City® is the largest company when it comes to sightseeing passes and partners with a ton of businesses all over the world. Go City® offers huge savings at over 1,500 different attractions in over 30 cities worldwide (and more to come). They focus on bucket list cities with all types of top attractions from museums, tours, zip-lining, shows, jet-skiing, sailing, hikes, and so much more.
What Types of Passes Does Go City® Offer?
Go City® offers two types of passes, an All- Inclusive Pass and an Explorer Pass, that you can customize to your own wants and needs. Certain cities may only offer one type of pass while others offer both types of passes.
All-Inclusive Pass
The All-Inclusive Pass is meant for those that really want to see and do everything. You can visit as many attractions as you like for that city within your chosen timeline.
Depending on the city, you will find All-Inclusive Passes that span from 1 to 7 days. That means if you choose a 1-Day All-Inclusive Pass, you’ll be able to visit all the listed activities/attractions in that 1 day period. If you choose a 7-Day All-Inclusive Pass, you’ll be able to visit as many listed places/activities within that 7-Day period.
An important difference between the All-Inclusive Pass versus the Explorer Pass is that the 3 Day or more All-Inclusive Pass gives you access to one premium experience of your choice. This is huge in my experience since the premium activity can make up more than half the cost of the All-Inclusive Pass.
Explorer Pass
If you want to pick and choose your activities and save a little bit of money, the Explorer Pass might be for you.
The Explorer Pass lets you choose 2 to 7 activities (varies by location) from a pre-selected list. This will let you only pay for the attractions or activities that you really want to do or see.
You may not have access to Premium Experiences like you would in the All-Inclusive Pass but it is something to consider for those who are more on a time crunch or only have a few things they want to see or do.

How Does It Work?
Buying a pass from Go City® is straightforward.
Choose a city (listed below) that you’re interested in and see which pass fits your needs.
Download your purchased pass onto the Go City® app OR print it out
Start planning your trip by making any necessary reservations (varies by city and activity)
Once you arrive at your activity or attraction, all you have to do is show them your pass on your Go City® app or your print out, and you’re in. I’ve been able to bypass many lines by going straight to the door or ticket booth to “pick up” my ticket since they were already purchased via my pass. Your pass is activated once your first attraction/activity scans your pass. So make sure you plan your trips accordingly to get the most out of your trips if you’re going with an All-Inclusive Pass.
It’s very important that you check every activity that you want to do and see if it requires any reservations in advance. If so, go ahead and make those reservations with the instructions from your purchased pass. If for any reason the dates you’re wanting to do any activities are sold out, reach out to Go City® and get your refund, it’s that simple!
How Much Do You Save?
The amount of money you save by buying a pass from Go City® will vary on a few factors such as:
What type of pass you choose
How many activities you do
What kind of activities you do
Some activities cost more than others so I would recommend making those a priority. For the All-Inclusive Passes, the more things you do in the shorter amount of time means the more you save. For example, if you buy an All-Inclusive Pass and you can do 7 activities across 3 days, versus 5 days, you’re going to get the same number of activities but you’ll be paying for less days.
90-Day Cancellation and Customer Service
Go City® has amazing customer service, and I’m speaking from experience from before I became an affiliate with them. They now offer a 90-Day Cancellation Policy, which was increased from their previous 30-Day Cancellation Policy. For all types of passes purchased after September 1, 2020, you can get a refund on unused passes for up to 90 days after purchase. If you don’t fall into the 90-Day window, you still are able to use your passes for up to two years from the date of purchase. Full terms and conditions here.
My Personal Experience with Go City®
I actually found Go City® organically a few years back when I was planning a trip to Las Vegas. As a frugal traveler, I want to save as much money as I can while still doing what I want to do. As I was searching around, I landed on Go City® via their website. Based on my math, all the activities that I wanted to do would be cheaper if I went ahead and purchased a pass from Go City® instead of paying for the activities directly myself. I was really happy with how straightforward the experience was in Las Vegas, the ease of use, and how much my wife and I saved on our trip though Go City®.
I was such a fan of Go City® that I went ahead and utilized their passes in Oahu not once but twice. On two different trips to Oahu, I purchased the Oahu All-Inclusive Pass as well as the Explorer Pass for my family. We loved the variety of activities that the Oahu All-Inclusive Pass offered, especially the Catamaran Sunset Sail (premium activity), as well as how much we saved.
Since I travel on points and miles, my major expenses come down to car rentals, food, and activities. Go City® really made it easy for me to add some additional savings to my trips, especially since traveling as a party of 5 can get expensive quickly.

Final Thoughts
I really enjoy Go City® and the passes they offer. The locations that they offer are amazing for those that have very popular cities on their bucket-list, like myself. I love that the attractions and activities they have are ones that are very popular for those cities. It makes buying the pass much easier since you know exactly how much you’re saving just by doing a little math and comparing the cost of the things you want to see/do versus buying a pass which may include those same things as well. I plan on utilizing Go City® for all my future trips and can’t wait to see what other cities they will add to their current list.
