Go Boston Card??

Does anyone have any information about the Go Boston Card?? My husband and I are planning a four day trip in June and have seen some advertisements for this card. Seems like it might save some money, if it works like advertised.

I googled it and found this...

http://www.gobostoncard.com/

Actually, I'd like to learn more about it myself.

The Go Boston card and the Boston Citypass can be good values if they match up with your itinerary. But don't force yourself to dash around to lots of places just because you've invested in a card -- many of the best things to do in town are free or not on the cards. I recommend that you think about what you want to do -- then assess whether the card is a good match for your own personal priorities.

I have actually used the Go Boston Card. I really liked it. I had used the CityPass in San Fran and it was much better, as it has a lot more stuff than museums, which is the focus of CityPass.

Definitely got my money's worth and the guidebook was actually useful. Best Ride was the Duck Tour.

Good Luck

My family used the Go Card in Boston last summer and I think we figured that we saved about $300 overall (in a 5 day period) we got into all of the attractions we wanted to and we used the dining discounts (some are 20%) which saved us a bundle on top of the admissions. The guidebook is really good I hope they have other cards in other cities.

When I saw an offer: Cold Stone Creamery buy one get one free ice-cream, my heart melted.

When I looked at the price: mamma mia, how many places should you run through to make it worth $45 in one day!

Of course I believe those who say it's worth it... but for myself I'm not sure if I'd buy it for any city.

$45 for one day is kinda crazy, but $115 for 5 days is less than $25 per day, which could ceratinly be worthwhile. It sure includes a lot!
