This app made it super easy to reserve a space and time for our trip to NYC. We usually take the train, but needed a car this time. I usually hate looking for parking, so I tried to find a garage near our hotel. When I found that there was one just a block away I went to their website and saw that they had this app. It was super easy to set up and I found a space and was able to adjust the time and complete my transaction from creating an account to having a full parking space reservation in about five minutes. Unfortunately I ended up having to cancel my trip about a week early so I requested a refund and it was instant with no hassle. I think in general, from now on I’ll just use this app to see if there are other parking garages by the same owner, and reserve spaces in those (if I ever have to bring a car back to NYC - I still like the train better). The only 2 things things that I would wish for are: 1. That they had an option to add the parking pass to your Apple Wallet so I just need to bring up a code on my phone when I get there and they scan it. 2. They allowed you to add a previously booked guest reservation to your current account. I started on the web with the reservation and then got the app and wanted to add the reservation to the app, but couldn’t. I kept the app and will now use it from now on instead of checking out as a “guest” from now on. Overall, a great app.
Bardzo dobra cena kupiłem ze sporą zniżką polecam
Easy to book and cheaper than price at counter. Got the ticket on my mobile within minutes.
Made a last minute pivot in our plans and was able to easily secure tickets at a much lower cost. Highly appreciated and highly recommend! Thank you!
The process to purchase and use our tickets was easy. It saved us a substantial amount of money too. Very happy with my experience, I'll be using this site again.
I recently booked my tickets through Passforless, and I am highly impressed with their service. The entire process was smooth and hassle-free, making it incredibly convenient to secure our tickets. The booking was processed quickly, and we received our online tickets almost immediately. I would highly recommend Passforless to anyone looking for a fast, efficient, and reliable ticket booking service.

Very nice experience
Visited Empire state Building for less than any other offer seen
Easy, less expensive than other passes and a great view from the ESB
Satisfied, easy transaction.
It was easy, fast and valuable for the money I paid. Thanks a lot
Absolutely great booking experience. I ordered three tickets for the observation desk at the Empire State Building N.Y. The price was 50 USD cheaper than the official price. However, my ordered time slot had to be changed. The communication with the customer service was speedy and efficient. So no worries. Looking forward to our trip. Thank you passforless!
Booking was seamless and there were no issues with Entry to Empire State Building
