GO Berlin - Reviews and experiences

The City Pass was pretty good, most places took it no problem. But booking shows ahead of time was a bit of a pain. Some places, especially for the shows, made us go there in person to book, which was a hassle. The seats they gave us were the cheapest ones, and we didn't know what kind of seats they were beforehand. And one time, they never called us back with our reservation number, so we ended up missing a show.

My experience with the city passes was a bit of a mixed bag. I definitely saw the value in having the pass, but I was kind of let down by the lack of flexibility when it came to booking specific activities. It's frustrating to have to plan everything in advance and not be able to just decide on a whim to go check something out. There were a good variety of options on the pass, but there was one activity that really disappointed me, just like the Chichen Itza tour for that other person. The tour made some unnecessary stops along the way, so we ended up getting to our destination right when it was super hot, and it kind of put a damper on the whole thing. It's pretty clear that the touring companies included with the pass could use some improvements.

We decided to buy the pass for our trip to NYC, and it really saved us some cash on the top sights. But there was one big problem we ran into. The app didn't tell us how important it was to book the evening cruise ahead of time. Because of that, we missed out on it since it was already booked up when we tried to get tickets. Also, if you're planning to visit One World and The Edge, it's best to go early in the morning to secure your preferred timeslot for the day and avoid long wait times.
