“This review is more about GO CITY PASS and VIATOR, not the attractions themselves, which were great. HOWEVER, the passes didn't load through Viator, and barcodes didn't scan and at times it felt like I had been scammed. All the tour operators were helpful and still gave us access but it was frustrating. My suggestion would be to buy direct from the people that provide the pass and not the intermediary company (Viator).”

“The Go Chicago Card is ok, but has shortfalls: 1. Primarily, it does not give discounts for children, students or seniors. Most of the museums and attractions give these discounts groups; 2. The bus services are not very good. The trolley doesn´t run all days (and we were not informed), the staff at Palmer House is not corteous and gives incorrect information; 3. If you take the 2 day pass several you wil not have enough time to go to all the attractions. You cannot do more than 4 attractions a day; 5. If you know which attractions you want to see, book individually in advance and get the discounts…”
