What is the London Explorer Pass?
The London Explorer Pass is a flexible sightseeing pass from Go City where you choose a fixed number of attractions - between 2 and 7 - and visit them within 30 days. Unlike the London Pass®, you don't pay for unlimited days, but only for the experiences you really want to do. This makes the Explorer Pass the ideal choice if you want to take a relaxed approach to sightseeing and don't have a tight schedule every day.
How does the Explorer Pass work?
You buy the Explorer Pass online and decide how many attractions you would like to visit. You will receive the pass directly in your Go City app. You can then choose from over 100 experiences on site - including Tower of London, London Eye, Madame Tussauds, Westminster Abbey, Thames boat trips and much more. You have 30 days from your first visit to redeem all your chosen attractions.
What makes it different from the London Pass®?
While the London Pass® offers unlimited visits on consecutive days, the Explorer Pass gives you maximum flexibility with a small selection. With two to seven attractions spread over several days, the Explorer Pass is usually cheaper. The London Pass® is only more worthwhile for around three or more attractions per day. However, if you want to visit Windsor Castle, the King's Gallery or the Royal Mews, you should choose the London Pass® - these attractions are not included in the Explorer Pass.

For whom is the Explorer Pass the right choice?
Three typical travel constellations - and how many attractions fit in each.
Short trip with top highlights
A long weekend in London and you want to see the absolute classics: Tower of London, London Eye and Westminster Abbey. With three attractions you save just under £20 compared to single tickets - and keep time for sightseeing on foot, pubs and a musical in the evening.
Flexible trip without time pressure
You don't plan every day and want to take breaks. With five attractions spread over four to five days, you have a varied programme - one day at the Tower and Tower Bridge, one day at the London Eye and Westminster, plus a boat trip on the Thames and a museum. 30 days of validity give you maximum flexibility.
Family with a compulsory programme
The must-do programme is worthwhile with children: London Eye, Madame Tussauds, the hop-on hop-off bus for little legs and the Tower of London. Children from 5 to 15 pay only £79 - cheaper than any single ticket. Children under the age of 5 are often free of charge.

Frequently asked questions about the Explorer Pass
No, Windsor Castle is not included in the Explorer Pass - nor are the King's Gallery at Buckingham Palace and the Royal Mews. If you want to visit one of these royal attractions, you should go for the London Pass®. All other top highlights such as Tower of London, London Eye, Westminster Abbey and the Tower Bridge Walk are included in the Explorer Pass.
Both passes come from Go City, but the model is different. The Explorer Pass gives you 2 to 7 selected attractions over 30 days - ideal for relaxed sightseeing. The London Pass® offers unlimited visits on consecutive days plus hop-on hop-off bus and Thames boat trip automatically included - ideal for frequent visitors. Rule of thumb: for three or more attractions per day, the London Pass® beats the Explorer Pass.
