- Philip Haas (Germany) 5.0Explorer Pass New York
Der Explorer Pass erschien mir als sinnvollster Pass für Aktivitäten in New York. Die Abholung bei Ripleys in NY verlief reibungslos und die Auswahl an Aktivitäten ist riesig. Der Preis stimmt, ich denke man kommt in jedem Fall günstiger weg, als wenn man die Aktivitäten einzeln bezahlt. Einziges Manko ist, dass man für fast alle Aktivitäten die Karten vorher an einer anderen Stelle holen muss.
- Regina Wilsek (Germany) 5.0Tolle Sache
Es wäre klasse, wenn es möglich wäre die Tage nicht am Stück nehmen zu müssen. Ein oder zwei Tage dazwischen für was anderes als Sehenswürdigkeiten fände ich sehr angenehm.
- Joyce F Page (United States) 5.0Great way to see and learn more about the city
Had a very enjoyable experience. We did have a problem locating the pick up spot in Union Square. Stood where Customer Service told us but bus did not stop there. Had to run to get a bus at the corner.
