Go City Pass Unlocks Affordable Adventure and Smart Travel Solution for Modern Explorers
As global travel continues to rebound with record-breaking momentum, savvy tourists are rethinking how they explore new destinations. Rising ticket prices, crowded attractions, and time constraints have made aditional sightseeing less appealing — leading many travelers to discover a better, smarter way to experience the world’s most iconic cities. Enter Go City Pass : the digital sightseeing pass that is transforming urban tourism by offering unmatched value, flexibility, and convenience. Now available in over 30 cities worldwide, including top-tier destinations such as New York City, London, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo, and Dubai, Go City is quickly becoming an essential tool for budget-conscious travelers who refuse to compromise on quality. With access to a curated list of popular attractions, museums, guided tours, cruises, and more — all bundled into a single digital pass — Go City empowers travelers to unlock the best experiences without the stress of planning or overspending. The Go City Advantage The popularity of Go City stems from the numerous advantages it offers to travelers: All-Inclusive Pass: Perfect for active sightseers, this pass grants unlimited access to as many attractions as possible over a chosen duration (ranging from 1 to 10 days). The more attractions you visit, the more you save — making this ideal for those who want to get the most out of their trip. Explorer Pass : Designed for more leisurely itineraries, this pass allows users to pick a specific number of attractions (e.g., 3, 5, or 7) to visit over a longer timeframe, offering flexibility for those who prefer a more relaxed pace. Both pass types are delivered digitally via the Go City mobile app or email, eliminating the need for paper tickets or physical passes. A built-in guidebook provides real-time attraction details, including opening hours, directions, and helpful tips — streamlining the sightseeing experience from start to finish. Seamless and Sustainable Travel In addition to financial savings, Go City stands out for its traveler-first approach. With digital access to attractions and often skip-the-line entry at major sites, Go City removes many of the frustrations traditionally associated with city sightseeing. Tourists can avoid long queues, reduce logistical headaches, and spend more time experiencing their destination. From a sustainability standpoint, Go City contributes to greener tourism. Digital ticketing reduces paper waste, while timed-entry options at select venues help minimize overcrowding and enhance the overall visitor experience. “Our mission is to make travel more accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable,” said CEO of Go City. “With our flexible pass system, we enable travelers to immerse themselves in a city’s top attractions at their own pace — all while saving money and supporting responsible tourism practices.” Global Reach and Growing Demand Go City’s global footprint includes some of the most sought-after cities in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. Destinations include: North America : New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, San Diego, Miami, Orlando, San Francisco, and Las Vegas Europe : London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Berlin, Barcelona, Dublin, Madrid, and Vienna Asia-Pacific & Middle East : Sydney, Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Dubai With new cities added regularly and local partnerships expanding, Go City is well-positioned to serve the needs of a growing base of international travelers. Smart Planning Meets Big Savings Cost efficiency remains a major draw. On average, travelers who use Go City save up to 50% compared to purchasing individual tickets at the gate. This is especially beneficial for families, group travelers, or anyone trying to make the most of a limited budget. The savings go beyond dollars — they include time, energy, and hassle. Travelers can plan confidently in advance or make spontaneous decisions on the go, knowing their pass will grant them access to premium experiences without the stress of last-minute bookings. Not Just for First-Time Tourists While first-time visitors certainly benefit from Go City’s curated attraction lists, repeat travelers are also discovering the appeal. Many cities include lesser-known gems — such as food tours, art workshops, or niche museums — that even seasoned tourists may overlook. This added layer of discovery makes Go City a valuable tool for returning visitors looking to deepen their connection with a destination. User Testimonials Reflect Growing Popularity User reviews consistently praise Go City for its value, ease of use, and wide selection of attractions. Travel influencers and bloggers alike have endorsed the pass for its role in simplifying travel logistics while enriching their adventures. “I saved over $150 on my NYC trip with Go City and got to see everything I wanted — the Empire State Building, the MET, and even a cruise around Manhattan,” said travel enthusiast Maria D., from Toronto. “I didn’t waste time in lines, and the app made it so easy to navigate.” About Go City Go City is the world’s leading digital sightseeing pass provider, serving millions of travelers each year with access to hand-picked attractions, tours, and experiences across the globe.

Nashville Adventures Launches New Morning Tour Blending Local History and Coffee Culture
In a city known for its neon nights and late-stage legends, one local tour company is turning its focus to the early hours—and the quieter, often-overlooked stories that shaped Music City. Nashville Adventures , a veteran-owned walking tour company recognized for its offbeat historical explorations, has announced a new experience titled “Historic Grounds: A Music City History and Coffee Morning Tour.” This tour is designed for travelers and locals who want to experience downtown Nashville before the streets fill with music and motion. The tour begins not at a landmark, but at a coffeehouse—specifically chosen for its role in supporting the city’s local roasting scene. Participants are offered a complimentary cup of coffee or tea, followed by a slow-paced, detail-rich walk through Nashville’s historical corridors. A Different Kind of Storytelling Unlike traditional tours focused solely on monuments and tourist stops, Historic Grounds builds a narrative from personal accounts, lesser-known sites, and marginalized voices. The route includes areas like Printer’s Alley , once a hotbed of underground nightlife and bootlegging, as well as public squares that have witnessed both musical breakthroughs and civil protests. “We’re trying to show a quieter Nashville,” says founder and guide Paul Whitten , a former Army sergeant turned historian. “There are layers here—layers that aren’t visible if you’re only following the sound of guitars. We go looking for those layers.” Topics range from the city’s Civil War entrenchments and Reconstruction struggles to the evolution of local Black music venues and the rise of Nashville’s progressive press. The goal, says Whitten, is not to glorify the past but to better understand it—and to reflect on the kinds of people who have built, shaped, and resisted the city we see today. Designed for Small Groups and Thoughtful Moments The tour is intentionally limited to smaller groups, allowing participants to ask questions, engage in dialogue, and walk at a conversational pace. It’s ideal for early risers, solo travelers, educators, and history enthusiasts looking to see a side of Nashville that rarely makes it onto postcards. While coffee provides the literal grounds for the journey, the metaphorical meaning isn’t lost on the organizers. “We’re calling it ‘Historic Grounds’ not just because of the coffee, but because of the soil we’re walking on,” Whitten explains. “There’s so much that’s happened here—beneath the asphalt, behind the murals, and under the radar.” More Than Just a Tour Nashville Adventures, which has quietly built a following among educators, veterans, and local history buffs, operates with a mission rooted in service. Every tour guide is a U.S. military veteran. The company also contributes a portion of all proceeds to veteran support nonprofits and civic education projects. The new morning tour adds to their existing lineup, which includes ghost tours, civil rights history walks, and custom experiences for corporate and school groups. Historic Grounds: A Music City History and Coffee Morning Tour launches this week and will be available three mornings per week throughout the summer. 👉 Reserve your morning history tour with Nashville Adventures For more information, visit www.nashvilleadventures.com or call (615) 601-0732.

Embark on a Journey Through Japan's History in Traditional Attire: Experiencing the "Salt Road Walk" in Otari Village, Nagano Prefecture
Approximately 400 years ago, during the Edo period, the historic "Salt Road" was used to transport salt and seafood from the sea to inland areas. In Otari Village, Nagano Prefecture, where a section of this road still remains, you can now experience walking along this historic path. This year, a costume rental service allowing you to become a traveler of the past, as well as a multilingual audio guide service, have been launched. Why not set out on a special journey to experience Japan's history and culture with all five senses while gazing at the beautiful Northern Alps? Not only can you walk along the historic road, but you can also experience it feeling as if you've become a traveler from the Edo period with our "Traveler Costume Rental." Starting in 2025, this service allows you to enjoy the Salt Road Walk experience while dressed in Edo-period traveler attire. You can choose from two types of costumes: the "Authentic Set," which recreates traditional attire, and the "Simple Set," for a more casual experience. Each includes props that enhance the feeling of travel and are perfect for photos. Combined with the nature and historical sites of Otari Village, you'll feel as if you've wandered into a Japanese historical drama. We offer the following two types of costumes: 〈Authentic Set〉 Men's: Kimono, obi (waist sash), tekko (hand covers), kyahan (gaiters), kasa (hat), cane Women's: Kimono, obi, tekko, kyahan, okoshi (head covering), cane 〈Simple Set〉 White pilgrim's robe, wagesa (Buddhist stole), cane, kasa 【Rental Application】 Hotel Sunny Valley Phone: 0261-83-2109 (Japanese language only, email recommended) Email: info@sunny-valley.net ◼️ Recommended Photo Spots Along the Salt Road Walk, there are numerous perfect photo spots where the traveler costumes look stunning. The contrast between the nature of the four seasons, historical buildings, and the magnificent mountains creates pictures that look like paintings. The scenery is picturesque enough even with a smartphone. Perfect for travel memories and sharing on social media. We especially recommend the following spots, so please be sure to stop by. ・Water Mill The small water mill nestled along the Salt Road has a charming atmosphere reminiscent of old tales. Stopping there in your traveler costume will make you feel as if you've stepped back in time. The cherry blossoms that bloom here in spring create a wonderfully photogenic scene for a special picture. ・Senkuni Guard Station This is the site of a former checkpoint along the Salt Road. We recommend taking photos while imagining the routes traveled by people in the past. With the stone walls and old gate as a backdrop, you can capture photos that look like scenes from a historical drama. ・Path with a View of the Northern Alps On a clear day, you can capture the majestic panorama of the Northern Alps in the background as you travel along the path. The fusion of the grand scale of nature and the elegance of the costumes is sure to result in a unique and unforgettable photo. What is the Salt Road? The "Salt Road" refers to the Chikuni Kaido, a roughly 120km long route used during the Edo period to transport salt and seafood from Itoigawa City in Niigata Prefecture to Matsumoto City in Nagano Prefecture. Known as one of the longest "salt roads" in Japan, it served as a major economic artery at the time, with packhorses and carriers (ninai-te) transporting goods. Along the roadside, you'll find charming spots where nature and history intertwine, such as "Ushikata-juku" inns where the cattle drivers who traveled with their cows stayed, stone statues of the "Hyakutai Kannon" built in the late Edo period, and breathtaking views overlooking the Northern Alps. The paths are well-maintained and can be enjoyed safely from around the end of April when the snow melts until the snowfall season in November. Model Course Using Public Transportation One of the attractions of the Salt Road Walk is that you can enjoy it even without a car. By using public transportation such as the JR Oito Line and the village bus, you can enjoy a journey that is environmentally friendly, safe, and secure. The model course starts from JR Minami-Otari Station, takes you by bus to the Salt Road entrance, then follows the "Route across the Thousand Kingdoms", where nature and history intertwine. After visiting the local museum and souvenir shop, enjoying a meal and a hot spring bath, you'll return to Minami-Otari Station by bus. This route, which can be easily enjoyed in about half a day, is recommended for beginners and families. [Example: Route across the Thousand Kingdoms] Time Itinerary 8:02 Arrive at JR Oito Line, Minami-Otari Station 8:31 Board the village bus (bound for Tsugaike Highland) 8:58 Get off at Tsugaike Highland bus stop 9:00 Start Salt Road Walk (Route across the Thousand Kingdoms) 12:00 Arrive at Otari Village Folk Museum / Lunch at Otari Specialty Shop 13:27 Board the village bus (bound for Oami) 13:35 Get off at Chuo-bashi Mae bus stop 13:45 Bathe in the hot spring at Santein Otari 14:41 Board the village bus (bound for Minami-Otari Station) 14:50 Get off at Minami-Otari Station 15:38 Depart JR Minami-Otari Station (for Matsumoto) Multilingual Audio Guide Service To allow visitors to experience the charm of the Salt Road at their own pace, a smartphone-based audio guide service is now available. By scanning the QR codes installed on stone markers along the path, you can listen to audio explanations about the history and stories of the corresponding spots right there. The audio guide supports Japanese, English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean. Anyone can learn about the historical background without the stress of language barriers. Please experience this new way of traveling, as if you were walking with a "storyteller of history." Audio Guide URL: https://cv-cloud.info/otari/museum/category/ja English-Speaking Guide Staff To ensure that travelers who are not confident in their language skills can participate without worry, we also offer guided tours by English-speaking staff. We provide detailed guidance, including ensuring safety along the way, explaining highlights and historical backgrounds, and assisting with commemorative photos. English Guide: Mr. Paul Deckret "I'm originally from the U.S., but now permanently reside in a 140-year-old home in Otari with my wife and young sons, right next to the Shionomichi. I'm extremely passionate about the Salt Road and spend countless hours walking, running, guiding, and doing trail maintenance on the route year round. I hope to share its beautiful scenery and fascinating history with as many people from as many places as possible! Yoroshiku!"

Mom's Gone Wandering CEO Amy Schadt Shares Expert Tips for Family Travel Using Points and Miles
Helping Parents Travel Without Breaking the Bank For working parents who long for family adventures but are discouraged by travel costs, Amy Schadt, CEO of Mom's Gone Wandering, offers an effective solution. Through her brand, Amy teaches families how to earn points and miles and redeem them for near-free travel. Whether it’s a dream vacation to a luxury destination or a family getaway combining relaxation and cultural enrichment, Amy's courses provide the tools parents need to explore the world without overspending. Amy’s personal journey—from a desk-bound, travel-hungry parent to exploring the globe with her children—serves as the foundation of her mission. What distinguishes her approach is a focus on a relatable, realistic lifestyle for working parents. "Many families just don’t have an endless budget for international travel, and that’s where I come in. I can teach them how to leverage their everyday spending to unlock nearly-free travel without compromising their family’s lifestyle," says Amy. Amy Schadt Named Best Family Travel Expert in the U.S. of 2025 Recognized as the Best Family Travel Expert in the U.S. of 2025 , Amy Schadt has been honored for her outstanding contributions to family travel coaching. The award highlights her innovative approach in using points and miles to make family travel affordable and accessible. Amy’s expertise empowers countless families to embark on dream vacations without breaking their budgets, setting her apart as a leading authority in the industry. The award committee cited Amy’s deep knowledge, relatable experience as a traveling parent, and proven real-life impact as key reasons for her selection. Her ability to break down complex points and miles strategies into simple, actionable steps has transformed how families plan and enjoy travel. The Benefits of Earning Points and Miles as a Working Parent Traveling for working parents often feels like a luxury out of reach, especially when planning extended family trips. However, Mom's Gone Wandering operates on the belief that travel should be accessible to all. Amy shares a transformative approach to saving money while enjoying memorable trips. By using everyday purchases—groceries, gas, entertainment—to accumulate points, parents can travel with their children in ways previously considered financially impossible. "The concept of using points and miles to travel is incredibly powerful. I’ve taught many parents how to start small and work their way up to booking first-class flights and five-star resorts. It’s about knowing how to make your money work harder for you," Amy explains. Mom’s Gone Wandering has cultivated a growing community of families eager to travel without sacrificing financial security. Amy’s courses empower parents to maximize earning potential and book flights and accommodations suited to their needs and budgets. Learn the Secrets to Affordable Travel Amy's Travel Points Academy is central to helping parents achieve travel dreams. With courses from beginner to expert level, students learn how to earn and redeem points effectively. From maximizing points through daily spending to booking luxurious trips for a fraction of the price, these courses offer valuable guidance for families ready to unlock travel rewards. “Learning the points and miles system doesn’t just open up travel options, it improves financial health. I’ve seen clients elevate credit scores, adopt smarter spending habits, and start taking trips they once thought impossible,” Amy states. “The best part? You can start for the price of one economy-class flight and plan a lifetime of family travel.” Empowering Parents to Travel the World with Their Children Unlike many experts focusing on solo or business travel, Amy’s approach emphasizes family unity. "We’re not living abroad or taking several international trips each month, but we do travel extensively throughout the year, and I can show other families how to do the same," she shares. Amy values family travel as a tool for connection and growth. She encourages families to immerse themselves in new cultures, gain different perspectives, and build lasting memories—all within their financial means. A Business Built on Real Results and Community Support Though relatively new, Mom's Gone Wandering has made a significant impact in the family travel space. Amy was recently featured in VoyageLA, discussing her transition from aspiring traveler to business owner and her vision to help parents make family travel a reality without financial stress. "I want to show parents it’s possible to have incredible travel experiences without choosing between family time and financial security," Amy says. "It’s about creating lasting memories, not luxury for luxury’s sake." About Mom's Gone Wandering Mom's Gone Wandering is a family travel brand founded by Amy Schadt. It offers educational resources and expert advice on how parents can earn and redeem points and miles for affordable family travel. With a focus on maximizing everyday spending and leveraging travel rewards, Amy’s courses help families experience the world together without breaking the bank.
