I was unsure on getting this pass untill I read the reviews online. It was a great buy as I managed to enjoy my 4 days in new York stress free with no queing. It was very easy to purchase I had the QR ticket sent straight to my phone as I had downloaded the app. The app also gave you all the information you needed with regards venues and there opening times also informed you if you needed to book a time slot, ( Empire State building did) the link was in the information which was so easy to book and again the ticket was sent straight to my email for me to download ready. Every venue we visited was so easy all I had to do was show the QR code that was on my phone for them to scan (easy & hassle free). I would highly recommend the Sight seeing flex pass if you want to enjoy without the hassle of queues.

Had a great morning ride with Frank across the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. The riding was easy and Frank shared plenty of great history about the bridges and neighbourhoods and made plenty of stops for good photo opportunities. Certainly we’ll worth doing and was enjoyed by all of us! Thanks Frank!!

It was convenient to be able to book travel and sightseeing in advance, on the other hand you could eg ride the Big Bis on a whim and do a hop on hop off tour. Partially there was no need to queue

Great scenery and wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable of area history!!

Great guide. Great bikes. Lovely area. Lots of fun.
