My conclusion

Best New York Museum Pass

The best New York attraction pass for museums is the New York Pass followed by the Sightseeing Flex Pass, Sightseeing Day Pass and the New York Explorer Pass.

BUT: The CityPASS for New York also has the most popular museums in its program, even if you only have a total of 5 to choose from.

Therefore, you won’t go wrong with any of the candidates. Only if you want to visit many or very special museums, you have to take a closer look at them. That’s exactly what my list of museums included in sightseeing passes is meant to help you with! 👆

My conclusion

Best New York Pass for Cruises

In New York, there are two major providers of Sightseeing Cruises: Circle Line and CitySightseeing / Hornblower. The Sightseeing Pass NYC (both variants) relies on City Sightseeing / Hornblower because they belong to the same company. On the one hand, I personally think Circle Line’s boats and tours are better. On the other hand, I am a big fan of the Sightseeing Flex Pass and Sightseeing Day Pass because they are the best value for the money.

So which of the New York Passes is the best when it comes to boat tours? If you are looking for an attraction pass that covers the major sightseeing cruises, I would go for the ones that have Circle Line as the provider.

My conclusion

Best New York Pass for Bus Tours

In New York, there are several companies that offer the popular hop on hop off bus tours. The two best known are Big Bus and CitySightseeing/Grayline. We had better experiences with Big Bus, so I would go for the ones that have Big Bus as the provider.
