Is the London Explorer Pass worth it?
We believe that the London Explorer Pass is suitable for visitors who want to do little sightseeing and mainly visit expensive attractions. In the table opposite you can see the individual prices of some of the top attractions that can be visited with the London Explorer Pass.
For cheap attractions that cost less than £30, the Explorer Pass is not worthwhile. In this case, you are better off buying individual tickets.
With a validity of 60 days, time is not an issue. Another advantage is that you don't have to collect the London Explorer Pass, but can use it by phone.
One disadvantage is that you have to take care of some reservations yourself. In addition, you don't enjoy priority entry and have to expect waiting times at some attractions.

Is the London DAY Pass worth it?
We believe that the London Sightseeing DAY Pass can be a good alternative to the London Pass for some visitors. Although the DAY Pass includes significantly fewer attractions, it is cheaper.

This is offset by a moderate price for the DAY Pass. The Sightseeing Pass, which is valid for three days, offers the best value for money.

| London Eye | £33.00 - £45.00 |
