Use it as your cheat sheet and travel-bargains friend: I'll lead you through it step-by-step, give you some tips, throw in some pros and cons, and at the end we'll have an FAQ so you're all set.

What Is GoCity and Why It Matters for Travellers

What is GoCity?

GoCity is a sightseeing-pass company with presence in several of the world's biggest cities. They sell electronic passes that grant visitors access to some of the best sightseeing places, tours, and activities for one ticket price.

Go City

The manner in which they present themselves on their site:

"Save up to 50% on the top attractions, tours and activities with GoCity. One pass, all the sights."

Go City

They sell two types of passes:

All-Inclusive Passes: Pay a set amount of time (e.g., 1-7 days) and go to as many included attractions as you like.

Go City

Explorer / "Pick X" Passes: Select how many attractions (e.g., pick 2, 3, 5, etc) and go to from a selection within a set time period (e.g., within 30 or 60 days).

The owner company of GoCity commenced in 1999 (as Leisure Pass Group) and has developed into one of the biggest sightseeing pass companies on the planet.

Why GoCity is Important to You & Saving

If you're a person who:

Would like to:

View the majority of a city's major tourist attractions,

Is doing this on more or less fixed budget,

Don't want to buy heaps of individual tickets,

then a pass like GoCity is a reasonable risk.

The long-term benefit: if you buy a pass and go to enough attractions that are worth seeing, the cost per attraction will be much lower than buying individual tickets. "Saves up to 50%" on some reviews versus buying individual tickets.

The Traveling Teacher

And touring becomes easier: one digital pass through their app, scan when you enter, fewer forms.

Apple

But-and hear me out here - only pays off if you do it correctly (and supported by solid planning). Otherwise you'll be spending and not "getting your money's worth."

And so the moral of the story: yes, you can save by utilizing GoCity and save even more by using coupons/discount codes (like the ones you find listed on Dealzow). When you use those two, you're getting the key to double-duty for your travel budget.

How GoCity Passes Work – Easy-to-Understand English

We'll guide you through, step by step, purchasing and taking advantage of a GoCity pass so you'll know exactly what you're getting yourself into.

Step 1: Select Your Destination & Pass Type

You then select where you're headed (GoCity does a great job of covering most cities — New York, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Dubai, etc.).

Wikipedia

Then select:

Do I like All-Inclusive Pass (visit as many noted spots for X days as you wish)?

Or do I like Explorer / Pick X Pass (select Y spots from an inventory, redeem within a short time period)?

Example: in New York City, GoCity has an Explorer Pass for ~$89 for pick 2 spots; an All-Inclusive for ~$169 for unlimited in 1 day.

Go City

Step 2: Purchase & Get Your Digital Pass

Upon purchasing, you'll get your pass electronically (usually via email) and you'll also utilize the GoCity App that contains your QR code or digital pass.

Go City

Step 3: Activate Your Pass & Use It

For the All-Inclusive pass: First activation at a location will "activate" it (day-count begins).

For Explorer Pass: You have a time window (e.g., 30 or 60 days) from initial use to utilize the number of attractions you purchased.

The Traveling Teacher

You show the digital pass / QR code at each of the attractions you visit and check in. Some attractions will be timed or reservation entry (be aware!).

Step 4: Get the Most Out of Your Time & Value

Since you've prepaid, you'd want to have access to enough attractions (and higher-priced ones) to save the most. We'll cover strategies on that later in this article.

Step 5: Planning & Flexibility

GoCity has pros such as the option to cancel unused passes for free (in certain cases) and minimal flexibility.

Stacking Dealzow Coupons & Promo Codes on GoCity to Save You More

This is where we put the "saving" in your schedule. Below is how you get coupons/promo codes.

Step 1: Get Live GoCity Promo Codes on Dealzow

Go to Dealzow before buying your GoCity pass and search for "GoCity promo code", "GoCity discount code", "GoCity coupon" etc. Travel offers, off-peak promo, affiliates might appear.

Step 2: Select Your Pass + Review Discount Terms

On goCity website click to buy, look to see if city & type entered allows promo code (most promo codes are for a specific city, or for a specific pass type, or minimum spend).

Step 3: Use the Code On Checkout

At GoCity checkout, hope there is a field to enter your promo code. Copy and paste, and double-check that the discount is applied before you pay.

Step 4: Check Last Price & Value

Attempt the final price after you've entered the code. Next attempt to guess how many of the sights you will do and compare to the total value of the sights (later on, below, we'll demonstrate that trick). If you believe that you will "get your money's worth," purchase it.

Step 5: Savvy Use of Your Pass

With your bargain admission ticket in your back pocket, you're in utilization mode: choose best-priority sights, plan your day, minimize dead time. Because the more you use (and get value from) it the more value.

Step 6: Keep an Eye on Your Savings

If you do end up attending, then you can subsequently jot down "if I'd purchased single tickets I would have spent X; I purchased GoCity for Y (voucher discount) and got to go to Z attractions so saved X–Y". That's easy enough to do to get the maths worked out for next time.

Who Is GoCity Right For (And Who Might Be Better Off Choosing Something Else

Not every traveller gets maximum value from a pass like GoCity. Let’s talk about “ideal user” vs “caution user”.

Ideal Use-Case: When GoCity Makes Sense

You’d probably benefit from a GoCity pass when:

You plan to visit many attractions in a short space of time (e.g., 2-4 days in a city).

You want to hit some premium, high-ticket-price attractions (which individually cost a lot).

You like the concept of efficient logistics: less tickets to purchase, more "go" time, single trip.

You're a planner and polite (so you can reserve as needed timed entry, map out routes).

As one travel blog summary concluded:

"The Go City Sightseeing Pass enables people to visit top attractions and sights … save up to 50%."

Traveling Teacher

When GoCity Might Not Be Worth It

You might skip (or exercise discretion at least) if:

You're only seeing 1-2 sights and you'll be spending a lot of unwinding time instead of staring at a lot. Then purchase cost simply won't be justified. For instance:

"If you're seeing only a few museums, a pass won't save you a thing."

The Traveling Teacher

You've got a pretty relaxed itinerary (i.e., you've got one major sight a day). Then paying for individual tickets is more economical.

The city list or pass list has mostly cheap attractions, so the "value" you are getting from having paid access included is very little. For example, some writers wrote:

"I would not recommend the GoCity pass in Las Vegas. There is little savings (if any)."

Tripadvisor

You don't plan because (timed tours get booked up, lots of moving from spot to spot wastes you time instead of cash). As explained by one of the Redditors:

"We don't read tiny print … time/day limitations … waste tons of time."

In short:

Do your homework: project how many of the attractions you're going to visit, calculate what the average individual ticket cost would have been, and determine if pass + coupon will save you money on admission. And plan your day so that you're not going around like a fool and wasting it.

Tips & Tricks: Get the Most from Using GoCity

Since you're already on a "frugal" website, here are some tips from a local expert on how to save the most using GoCity:

1. Start with the Most Pricey Attractions

Once you've purchased your pass, start using the most expensive to do on a per-person basis (i.e., big observatories, expensive tours). Then you "get the most value" first. Then apply the pass to the less expensive ones.

2. Download App & Check Requirements

Use the GoCity app to check your list of sights, check if any need to be booked or have timed entry, look at maps, look at opening times. As several sources verify: pre-booking is needed for certain attractions. One user:

" Some attractions do need timed tickets so you need to exchange your pass in at the ticket window to get a next available timeslot."

Tripadvisor

3. Select Your Pass Type According to Your Time

If you don't have time and will be racing by it: the All-Inclusive would be better. If you have plenty of time to devote and only a handful of attractions: the Explorer can be less expensive. Variety is described by critics.

Detail Oriented Traveler

4. Look at City Coverage & Navigation Effectiveness

Make sure the things you wish to visit are near each other geographically. If you spend more of your travel time traveling between destinations, you are wasting value (and fun). Clustering sites by area or zone.

5. Stack With Dealzow Coupons / Promo Codes & Early Purchase

We've also discussed saving on stacking savings already. Purchase your pass ahead of time, take the coupon, save the discount. Advance purchase sometimes also has better rates.

6. Use Early On Your First Day

Especially for All-Inclusive passes: utilize an early activation so that you can get the most out of the day. The sooner you wait to "start" your pass, the fewer hours you'll have.

7. Understand The Restrictions & Terms

Some places won't take the pass in peak times or additional charges.

Passes can only get one visit per place (you can't visit the same place twice on a single pass in most cases).

Certain bookings may have pre-book or preferred timing.

Travel to/from destinations isn't always included unless specified otherwise.

8. Have an Estimate of Regular Ticket Value

Once you've purchased, list the sites you're seeing and estimate their individual admission costs (if they need to be paid for separately). If that number is far more than pass price (after your discount), you're good to go.

9. Utilize the Pass on "Major" Sites You'd Go See Anyway

If you're going to devote part of your vacation time to some grand "must sees," do them on the pass — and buy single tickets for minimal amenities if you simply can't resist indulging. That will keep you from paying for something you wouldn't even be using.

10. Plan Some "Free Time"

There's even a rest pass, strolling or down time to depart. The prize is resting and taking in the journey, not zooming by all these sites that you're tired of being on your feet.

Real-World Example & "Is It Worth It?" Analysis

Let's take an example case and go through it, and then we'll calculate the "worth it" math.

Example Scenario: Travel to New York City

You will be in NYC for 3 consecutive days.

You buy a GoCity All-Inclusive 3-day pass (~$259 before coupon).

You also apply a Dealzow coupon which reduces, say, 10% (speculative) → ~$233 actual price.

You would be costing: Empire State Building ($45), One World Observatory ($50), Top of the Rock ($40), MoMA ($30), 9/11 Memorial ($28), Hop-on Hop-off bus tour ($59), Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island ferry ($24), and food walking tour ($60). Adding up all those single tickets = ~$336.

With your pass, you're able to go to all of those places, so you paid ~$233 rather than ~$336 → saved ~$103, and you've also made it simpler to buy tickets and travel. That's a bargain.

"Is it worth it?" Check

Were you able to get to enough high-priced-to-visit destinations? Yes.

Were you able to make the best use of the pass by having several entries rather than one or two? Yes.

Did you purchase pass + coupon ahead of time and use it as it should be used? Yes.

Did you schedule geography and timing so that you did not travel for hours from here to there? Yes.

And if all of the above are true, then yes – the pass was worth it.

But if you were only visiting two museums and leaving the others to go for a walk or just lounge around, then chances are the pass was not worth the price.

What others are saying

One of them states:

"I have purchased the Go City Sightseeing Pass at various locations … it can be extremely good value."

The Traveling Teacher

Another cautions:

"By using a 3 day all-inclusive pass, I was able to do 14 activities and saved about $300. The average dude can't quite figure it out with those passes. They don't have the patience reading through fine print of everything … waste tons of time doing that."

Which we can paraphrase: the pass itself is great, but planning & usage.

Strengths & Weaknesses of GoCity (With Coupon-Conducive Twist)

Benefits

One visit for most attractions, typically less expensive than one-off ticketing.

App + mobile pass = simpler, less queue, fewer tickets to carry around.

Save even more using Dealzow promo/coupon codes.

Perfect for first-timers who want to "hit it hard" and accomplish much in little time.

Most worldwide locations are covered on passes, so you can use same brand in other cities.

Advantages / Things to Think About

You won't get as much unless you get enough sights.

Time limitations: some are reserve-only, may be sold out, may be more travel/time than anticipated.

The "value" lies in yours' time; to slow travelers or those of a hurry it may not be value.

There may be some places where the pass does not cover special services (VIP, timed entry) or there may be additional fees.

Geography/travel time between locations will decrease effective value.

Even when you possess a coupon, other than planning, you will end up paying more than you should for that which you do.

If coupons are utilized, then all of the "Cons" can be eliminated — i.e., if in conserving money, fewer locations need to be traveled to such that you break even.

How to Choose the Right Pass & Coupon Strategy with Dealzow

Let's determine how to select your pass and strategize couponing.

Step A: Select Your Pass

Estimate number of days you'll be in town.

Estimate number of big attractions you'll want to see.

Many attractions, not many days → probably All-Inclusive.

Fewer attractions, flexible schedule → Explorer / X type choose.

Look at your city's GoCity list of attractions on their website.

Go City

Step B: Budget and Coupon

Visit Dealzow and search for "GoCity coupon code", "GoCity promo code", "GoCity discount".

Search for a code that fits your city and pass type. Search for minimum spend, end date, or not applicable conditions.

Use code at checkout on GoCity website. Coupon must be used.

Final price = Pass price – coupon saving.

Step C: Estimate Your Value

Make a list of places that you would actually visit (especially the most costly ones).

Get total ticket price per person (these might possibly be found on the attraction site).

Have a look at the ticket price compared to your final price. If your final price is significantly lower, you're in value land.

Have a look at travel time, admission/reservation restrictions, amenities covered (some passes have "skip the line" or priority entry).

Step D: Plan Your Itinerary for Efficiency

Use GoCity app to check off the sites that you will be visiting. Some pass holders note map view assists in maximizing.

Apple

Cluster sites by district so travel time is minimized.

Book ahead those that they do require.

Start early on the initial day if you have an All-Inclusive so you can pack more in.

Save one fewer day of stress so you don't feel like you're merely "checking off" things.

Step E: Post-Trip Reflection

When you get home, ask yourself this question: how many places did I really see?

How much would I have spent if I bought separate tickets?

How much did I really spend (coupon included)?

This will tell you if you made the correct choice and help you prepare more for the future.

Section: Avoid GoCity Common Mistakes

You're going to spend wisely, so let's arrange some mistakes and how not to make them.

Not reading conditions

Certain attractions are "once only", certain timed entry or excluded under certain conditions. Example discussion:

Under-estimating travelling/time between attractions

Big cities = big spreads. You'll lose time if you're speeding all over the whole city to every single site. Group visits.

Visiting only low-value sights

If your sites of choice are cheap in the first place, the pass fee won't be an expense you'll need to incur.

Buying without first looking for coupon usage

If you pay full price when there's a coupon to be found using Dealzow, you're losing money.

Getting pass too late

For All-Inclusive passes: If you redeem your first attraction in the evening, you lose some first day's value.

Which tours or activities on the pass must be booked ahead. If those times fill up, pass value is lost. Example: one tourist complained about it: "Most of the good attractions limited people from GoCity pass."

Apple

By being cautious and planning, you'll avoid these pitfalls.

FAQ: GoCity & Coupons FAQ

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions visitors have when they reserve via GoCity—and concise, informative answers.

Q1. What's the difference between the All-Inclusive Pass and Explorer (Pick X) Pass?

A: You can go to as many covered sites as you like for a fixed number of days (e.g., 1–7 days). The Explorer (Pick X) Pass is where you pick a fixed number of sites (e.g., 2, 3, 4) and get to see them within a longer timeframe (e.g., 30 or 60 days). The choice will ultimately depend on how many sites you are going to visit and how much work you are going to do.

Detail Oriented Traveler

Q2. Can I apply a promo code or coupon to a GoCity pass purchase?

A: Yes — you're usually in a position to use promo codes (like those listed at Dealzow) when you buy a GoCity pass, as long as the code can be applied to your city and pass type. Just ensure that you add it at checkout and ensure that the discount is actually being shown.

Q3. How do I redeem my GoCity digital pass at attractions?

A: Upon purchasing, you will receive access to a digital pass and GoCity app. At each attraction scan the QR code or present your digital pass. Some attractions will ask you to exchange for a timed ticket or pre-book—always check.

Tripadvisor

Q4. Is GoCity worth it — will I always save money?

A: Your preference. If you go enough of the more expensive ones and book ahead, sure you'll save a bundle (some put the estimate as high as ~50% off single tickets).

Go City

But if your timing is lousy, or you don't book well, you're not going to get your money's worth.

Q5. Can I cancel or refund my GoCity pass?

A: Any unused passes so far can usually be cancelled within a time limit (typically within 30 days of the purchase) and refunded. Check always your destination pass page for the refund policy.

Go City

Q6. Is there anything I shouldn't do or any restrictions?

A: Yes — some of them have timed bookings, some don't have priority entry with the pass, some activities are spins. You generally can only go on all the mentioned attractions once per pass. Notices remind us to peruse the fine print.

Q7. What is the effect on value when a coupon/promo code (e.g., from Dealzow) is used?

A: Coupon clipping decreases the amount you need to pay out of your own pocket for the pass. That is, fewer attractions must "break even." For instance, if you clip the price of the pass by 10%, you're beginning the savings line lower — and that's a positive. Just ensure the code is active, applied, and the pass works in your use plan.

Conclusion & Your Next Steps

Alright – you now understand the entire GoCity passes analysis, how they operate, when they are well worth it, and how to use coupons and promo codes (via Dealzow) to save even more. Here's a quick recap and what to do next:

Summary:

GoCity has simple sightseeing passes for most cities — either "visit all for X days" (All-Inclusive) or "visit Y select sights" (Explorer).

Value relies on how many places you are visiting, how much they cost each, and how well prepared your are with your times.

Using a Dealzow promo code/coupon will save you immediately and contribute to your overall saving.

Be prepared in advance: use the app, monitor the bookings, plan activities in groups, start early, don't play around.

It's not always a "no-brains win" — for more laid-back schedules or visiting fewer attractions, purchasing individual tickets might be the savvy choice.

Your Next Steps

Choose travel destination and length of stay.

Visit Dealzow.com, enter "GoCity promo code" or "GoCity coupon" for destination.

Visit GoCity website for destination, choose pass type (All-Inclusive or Explorer), review list of attractions included.

Use coupon from Dealzow at checkout, verify final cost.

Shortlist what you are doing – particularly the most expensive ones.

Download GoCity, save your digital pass, and see if there are bookings or timed entries that you'll need to book.

On the day you visit – rise early, leave some buffer between attractions, pack plenty of value.

Post your visit – see how much you saved, what you did, and have it noted for future visits.
