London Explorer Pass: Advantages & disadvantages
What we like about the Explorer Pass
There are many arguments in favour of the Explorer Pass:
What we don't like about the Explorer Pass
Although the London Explorer Pass is a very good product, there are also some disadvantages that we would like to point out:
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 £25, the Explorer Pass is not worthwhile. In this case, you are better off buying individual tickets.
With a validity of 30 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.
