I'm visiting London next week and I've bought a 3-day pass. I'm trying to organise everything perfectly so I can see as much things as possible but I have seen that every pass has a limited number of credits. Do you know how does that work? Is it possible that I do so many things that I end not having enough credits? Thanks for the video btw, it was very useful.
Thanks so much for watching! This page shows you how many credits each pass (eg 1 day, 2 day etc) includes: londonpass.com/en/how-it-works The site says: “1 credit is worth £1 and your credits are redeemed when you enter attractions”. So if you check the attractions page (londonpass.com/en/london-attractions) this shows how much money each attraction costs. If you want to be sure you could add up the cost of your attractions you plan to see to make sure it is under the max credit limit for your 3 day pass 😊 The credits were not an issue for me! In my experience there is not enough time in the day to use them all up, so I would not be too concerned if it were me 😊 enjoy your trip!
Just found your channel and I am a new subscriber. This was truly one of the best videos I’ve seen about the London Pass, but also so helpful for the sights/experiences you did. I’ve been planning my trip in September, and already have purchased the pass, so your suggestions were very welcome! I hope you have more England/London content upcoming!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that, it means a lot! Yay, so exciting, I had the best time last September. I will try to pump more UK content soon! Thank you and enjoy your holiday 😄
I purchased it for my trip to London last year and I barely broke even. I found I would have been better off simply purchasing individual tickets to attractions I wanted to go to on my own time. No doubt the London Pass works well for many travelers, especially families, but as a solo traveler, I found that being limited to using it over 3 consecutive days was just too much pressure. It left me no room for spontaneous activities and I had to schedule my time very carefully in order to get from one attraction to the next just so that I could get my money's worth.
The jacked up the price twice in the past month or two, I think it would be difficult to cover the cost anymore. The National Rail 2 for 1 covers quite a few key attractions and is easy to use. (Must hold National Rail tickets, no one says you have to actually use them). Kensington was the one that gave us difficulty on the National Rail 2 for 1, took a supervisor and standing my ground, everywhere else was perfectly happy with it.
Great video and well explained! In the cost analysis, you have to take in consideration that you have to rush for 2 days to save money. I'm pretty sure that you were pretty exhausted. My wife will kill me! :) .As a Senior. the individuel price is about 10% lower., good to know. Finally, Explorer Pass Go City, not limited in time, might be another solution. Merci beaucoup encore from Montréal!!
Very true- it isn’t a slow paced holiday I don’t think with the 2 day London Pass. However if you were interested in those tourist attractions but wanted to spread it out you could extend your pass days. But that also means more nights in London which is more expensive! Great you seem to have found the right option for you!
We priced out the pass. It saves us about $20USD which isn’t much when you consider we have to cram it all in one day (per our budget) but- would you say using the “free” transportation is maybe a big benefit to this pass? ❤
When you say big bus that's the double deck bus? Also you mentioned that the London pass lets you use the bus? I am asking because we are wondering about the oyster card if it would be better than the London pass.
@@danielnormand8156 Thank you for your question! Yes the buses included in the London Pass are double deck buses. They are hyperlinked in the description :) But if you don’t end up finding enough things to do that you are interested in on the London Pass you can also take a classic London Bus (that is used for Public Transport and paid with an Oyster Card or your contactless credit or debit card) which is affordable and fun! Here are popular routes with tourists: www.visitbritainshop.com/au/en/articles/top-3-bus-routes
In addition to the cost savings, would you say that having all your plans on an app was an additional benefit? Do you find navigating the app convenient and useful? The way the whole thing is integrated with an app reminds me of how one needs to navigate Disney these days.
Thanks for watching 😊 when I visited in September 2023 London Pass had just moved over to the Go City app. What I used at the time was the old app, so all I used it for was flashing my pass! I did download the new app for this video to see how it looked, and it looked quite user friendly. But for me, I put my itinerary into Trello and had that app on my phone to keep track 😊
I actually did not visit the London Eye! I have heard it is amazing. Budget wise, we just chose to skip it and get the big view of London from the Sky Garden. I would like to go on it next time I visit! Thanks so much for watching 😊
We lost a lot of money buying this stupid london pass! Saves you no time at major sites. We bought a 4 day pass for 2. Due to the rail strikes our plans changed and we only used it at 3 sites over 3 days. The Shard had spots open all day for paying customers but NONE for london pass holders. We also got ripped off on the oyster card. DONT buy an oyster card. Even our postcards never arrived. In fact, don't even go to London. Salisbury, St Albans and Canterbury are all MUCH nicer.
Sorry you had a bad time visiting London! I've purchased and used the London pass a couple of times and had great experiences. I don't think you can blame it for the rail strikes though.. There's attractions that you need to check for pre bookings. I particularly liked the example itinerarys on the website. London always has so many amazing things to do and see, I hope you give it another chance!

Visiting London at the end of this coming June, so this was helpful. Thanks! 😊

This video was made wonderfully, one of the most useful and in detail videos ive seen for a 2 day trip. this really helped my planning
Thank you so much, that means a lot!

That’s a really interesting insight especially as a solo traveler. Thanks for sharing!
@@racheldover229 You're welcome! I hope I didn't give the impression that I was dissing the London Pass. I'm sure it works well for some people.
@@amritawhitman8112 not at all, it’s good to share information! Thanks ☺️

Thank you so much for this video, Rachel!
Thank you for watching! 😊
Wow! I've seen several videos as I plan my trip to London next month. This is by far the most practical and helped me set up my itinerary
Thank you so much, I’m so glad it helped!
Very helpful thank you. Visiting in June.
So exciting, I hope you have the best time, thanks for watching 😊
Great video with very useful information! So glad that I found your channel. Going to London in July.
Thank you so much! Have the best time in London! 😊

Queens House and the Naval Museum in Greenwich are both free and worth visiting.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I will have to try some day when we’re back in UK 😊

That was super helpful. Where should I buy the London pass from? You mentioned Go City - is that the same as the London pass website?
Thanks so much for watching! I would buy directly from the London Pass website: londonpass.com/en 😊
@@racheldover229 okie thanks
