London
All the exhibits were grest. Viator came thru. Hop on/off was a waste. 2 hrs to travel 4 stops. Faster to walk. B7s3s did not start or arrive at stops until AFTER ticketed venues opened. Wld not recommend
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We are glad you liked the exhibits, but we regret the delay with the bus. We advise against using bus tours as a mode of transportation around the city; instead, we suggest using London's public transport networks. To enhance your sightseeing experience, we suggest downloading the Big Bus Tours app, where you can track buses in real time. It features interactive maps, detailed stop information with walking directions, and live service updates in your in-app message inbox. We have taken note of everything to improve!

Saves a fortune!
Me and my friend first used the Go City pass in New York last year so we decided to use it for London this year, it saved a fortune! We did Hard Rock Cafe, The Shard, Up at the O2, St Paul's Cathedral and Moco Museum. We were in London between 4th and 8th June for a concert and had a long weekend of being tourists as well. Using the Go City is well worth it. They have lots of choice which is nice that you can choose what you want to do
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review! 😊 We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed your Go City experience in London and made the most of your pass during your trip. It’s also great to know you found plenty of options to choose from and that it felt worth it. We hope to see you again soon on another Go City adventure!

Do not buy this pass.
No way would I recommend this pass. Save your money and buy at the location or direct from the merchant. Places we tried to use on the last day were closed...unforeseen. i asked for a partial refund and was declined. Do not use this pass. No comvenience
Response from the operator: We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations and that you were disappointed with both the value and convenience of your purchase. We understand how frustrating it can be when attraction closures affect your plans, particularly towards the end of your trip. Our website and app provide attraction information, including opening hours and any temporary closures where available, and we always encourage customers to review these details while planning their itinerary. While unforeseen closures can occasionally happen and are outside of our control, we understand the impact they can have on your overall experience.

Saves money and time
We bought a three day pass for our five day stay in London. The pass paid for itself in terms of getting through queues seamlessly and definitely saved us money. We were able to get to Westminster, The Tower, St. Paul’s, Kensington, a Thames boat cruise, and a very cool immersive art display simply by having our passes scanned. We used a two-day hop on/bus service, included, to get around the busiest places. Well worth the expense if you want to go to a lot of attractions. My only negative was the Big Bus hop on/off bus firm they partner with. They were frequently late or too crowded to comfortably “sight-see” out of the windows. One driver told me they had pared the fleet down from about 80 to about 50. I have no way of knowing if that’s true but it would explain why buses from the competing firms seemed more consistent and had space to sit and enjoy.
Response from the operator: Hi there, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re really glad to hear that your pass helped you make the most of your time in London and that you were able to enjoy so many of the city’s highlights with ease. We also truly appreciate your feedback regarding the Big Bus hop-on/hop-off service. We’re sorry to hear that the buses were often crowded or running behind schedule, as we understand how important comfort and reliability are when sightseeing. Your comments have been shared with the relevant team and our transport partner so they can continue to review and improve the service. For future visits, we recommend using the Big Bus app to check live bus tracking and stop updates, which can help you better plan your journey and avoid busy times where possible. Thanks again for your valuable feedback—it really helps us improve the experience for all our customers.

Why this scores 43
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Go City London Explorer Pass: 2-7 Things To do including Shard: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Go City London Explorer Pass: 2-7 Things To do including Shard cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Go City London Explorer Pass: 2-7 Things To do including Shard take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Go City London Explorer Pass: 2-7 Things To do including Shard worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 163 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Go City London Explorer Pass: 2-7 Things To do including Shard?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Go City London Explorer Pass: 2-7 Things To do including Shard suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 24-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Go City London Explorer Pass: 2-7 Things To do including Shard?
+
Around 57 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Go City London Explorer Pass: 2-7 Things To do including Shard start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
