Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets vs Expedia
Go City is better for travelers focused on saving money on attraction bundles, while Expedia is a more comprehensive platform for booking all aspects of travel, despite its app performance issues.
Go City excels at providing value for attraction passes, with many users reporting significant savings, but struggles with app glitches and inconsistent information. Expedia offers a broader range of travel booking services, but its app is frequently criticized for being slow and buggy, and customer service is a common pain point.
Head to head
you are primarily looking to save money on multiple attractions in a specific city and are willing to carefully research attraction details outside the app R2.

Evidence note: Both apps have a significant number of negative reviews regarding app performance and customer service, which aligns with the general trend of recent reviews being more critical.

- [R2] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets Totally awesome saving: I got ticket for all attractions all inclusive deals in great price
- [R5] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets Good option: Some attractions are cheaper this way. Beware that the passes might not allow you to get to full activities in dome places like the spyscape, nor get to the pedestal Or crown of the statue of liberty. But still a good option.
- [R10] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets Good for showing your pass only: The option to plan your trip is awful. You can’t move stuff around and it’s very clunky. This would be such a great app if you could actually easily do that. Other than that it’s just good for showing your pass.
- [R13] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets Wish I Could Give Go City Negative Stars: Please be prepared to miss out on most of the attractions that are supposedly included and spend more in the process. Many of the attractions were already unavailable after we purchased our Go City pass, which you cannot know until after you buy this pass. The attractions that were available were listed as included in the app, however this is misleading be
- [R6] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets A bit unclear: I struggled because there were no instructions on how to activate it. It's affordable and good for long-term stays, and I think people will enjoy it. · translated
- [R8] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets So easy to use: So easy to use. All of the locations knew what it was it was accepted with out a problem .
- [R12] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets Glitchy and reloads constantly: The app is glitchy. On initial load- the app looks like it’s struggling to refresh and it’s stuck on a loop doing so.
- [R16] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets Buggy, poorly designed, implemented and supported product: We used this for Singapore. Seems good on paper but once you pay them things don’t work smoothly. In short it is better to just pay at each attraction you visit. Here’s the longer version 1. After you pay, it takes 4 hours to even get your pass by email. 2. The pass only works on each attraction once. If you end up really wanting to se
- [R4] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets Not Worth It: It doesn't deliver value for the money. Dealing with 3rd parties outside of the app is an obnoxious chore.
- [R11] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets Overpriced: No way you can get your money’s worth out what is being charged. Simple math. I was charged $100 USD for a one day pass. Each museum charges $15 to enter. You can’t possibly see 4 a day particularly when open from 10 to5. Also thought I was getting a 5 day pass. Only find out it was only for 1. The money back guarantee is out after the first day. After that you are out of luck.
- [R21] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets Saved Some Money, but Inconvenient: Used the 2-Day unlimited pass for Barcelona. I did end up saving some money with this, but only because I felt compelled to go to more destinations that were covered by the pass than I would have otherwise if I hadn’t ponied up. Tours booked up fast and for the Picasso museum in particular you are not allowed to visit if you don’t go with the tour, which was dis
- [R1] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets Not what it seems…: If you have the Go City New York explorer pass please be aware at Madison Square Garden is usually sold out so when you show up, you can’t get tickets for the same day and you’re only allowed to get tickets for the same day. Madison Square Garden sells its own tickets and it seems like whatever leftover tickets for that day can be allocated to Go City past users. This is not st
- [R9] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets Good: The GoCity pass saved me money based on the attractions given. The problems I have encountered with the pass are that the description is not correct on some of the attractions. For example, the Rouge show says 9pm on Mondays and they did not have that performance available on Mondays. The Las Vegas Bar Crawl says that you get a drink at the bar stops but it was only 1/2 price drinks which is
- [R44] Go City -Travel Plan & Tickets Great Value: I was a little skeptical that booking activities would be easy, but I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to book events. Highly recommend giving this app a chance. I easily saved $500 over the span of just two days.
- [R64] Expedia Super laggy: Impossible to use on iPhone 13. Super laggy. It appears that it’s all JavaScript now and it freezes for up to 10 seconds. Whole app is super bloated
- [R69] Expedia App just spinning while searching: I can use the app to search, I can use the website though. I use the app just for booking info and the website for searching for my travel.
- [R81] Expedia Stop price gouging please :): The site itself is intuitive and easy to use but the prices and price jumps are ridiculous all companies use our data and raise prices accordingly. Your website will tell me one price and I will go to checkout and the price is vastly different
- [R85] Expedia deceptive pricing: The flight hotel package option is showing a lower price and jumped up significantly higher without any explanation of additional fees at the last step. I took screenshots and shared to the help chat and ironically they only received the one showing the price jump. I repeated the request for over an hour even changing the flight times and it continues to show the price of $441 t
- [R61] Expedia App is terrible: Had a major issue with not being reimbursed and couldn’t get any help. Deleting app from my phone
- [R70] Expedia Expedia does not care about their customers.: Booked Coco Unlimited Tulum through Expedia for May 20, 28. Had to leave on May 22nd because the beach was covered in seaweed so bad my pregnant wife got sick and I had to rush her to the hospital. This was a real emergency, not some minor complaint. I contacted Expedia before checkout and again after, asking for a refund on the nights we couldn't use.
- [R76] Expedia Misleading Pricing and Disrespectful Service: My experience with Expedia was extremely disappointing. I booked my rental car through Expedia expecting them to stand behind the reservations they sell, but when I needed help, they refused to take responsibility and instead kept directing me to a third party. As the company I booked through, I expected them to assist in resolving the issue rather tha
- [R94] Expedia Poor customer service: I am extremely disappointed with the support I received from Expedia. What turned out to be a simple issue could likely have been resolved with a single phone call to Saudia, yet I spent an entire day trying to get assistance from your support team. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I’ve experienced this. I had a very similar situation a couple of years ago, and I u
