We were skeptical at first. But then worked well. Some WAIT periods were longer than expected. However, you have to remember that it was high season. You can absolutely recommend.
We had bought the London City Pass Classic. For our 4 days of vacation was sufficient, because you hardly manage more than 2 attractions per day. You have saved money, but had to do it again at the cash register. This was usually progressing quickly. Furthermore, we also ordered the Oystercard right away. This is also highly recommended, as you arrive at the airport and have to change to a transport. You do not have to look for a ticket counter, etc. Can you use it really well. At the next city trip we will book such a city pass again.
The London City Pass made a great decision, as it helped to get a lot of attractions and was a great companion on holiday. For some things, it would be good to know exactly what you get. So I was a little disappointed that you could not book the Harry Potter Bus Tour with the voucher at Brit Movie Tours. Otherwise very good that you can put together from different variants that fit together.
If you plan well in advance and do not spend too much time each day, you can choose the right passport and save money again. Not everywhere you get past the queue (eg London-Eye), at the tower you can use the group handling, which saves at least some time depending on the dm. At peak times you should be on time. The combination packages save money in any case, unless you have bought more than you need. That's why my first sentence.
We had the variant Best, since we were in London for a week. The highlights were great: Tower of London, Kensington Palace, London Eye, The Shard, Madame Tussauds, St Paul's Cathedral, Brit Movie Tours. The boat trip was okay. With the hop-on-hop-off we were unlucky enough to wait 1 hour on the bus is stupid, Especially when the bus of the competition passes twice in the time. Instead of Shrek's and Wimbledon, there should be something else in the passport.
It was very good, but no fast entry. You have to stand in the queue to get the tickets.
The view as well as the cathedral and their respective vantage points are worth seeing!
We have had good experiences with the City Pass. The only problem we had was finding the bus stops from the Big Bus. Please inform for the time being at the information counters.
The Turbopass incorporates many of the top attractions in London, allowing significant savings on entry. I myself have saved a good 30%, whereby there were still a few atrractions which I could not use for time reasons. The only drawback is that the voucher has to be changed from the pass into a ticket. To do this, you have to enter your name on the voucher and the seller then transfers the number of the turbopass into its cash register system (no scan code).
In Internet pages, everyone can calculate how much money they can save, depending on the attraction they want to visit and what the entry costs. The not always all extras in the pass can be included (also because the offer of the attractions changes) is for me understandable. A big MINUS for me is (mainly because it is still advertised on this homepage): there is no precedent at the cash desk with Madame Tussauds, thus NO Fastlane, NO waiting time savings. If you rely on the one you have to expect waiting times of up to 3 hours. (better early in the morning) The exchange of vouchers worked without problems.
The London City Pass can be used without any problems. However, it did not always work well with the "fast lane" and we had to wait in queue.
It was gigantic, super nice !!! Absolutely stunning city!
In the tower right in the morning to the crown jewels, the queue is not so long! And right next to it: Tower Bridge - absolutely up on the tower!
Despite the many like-minded people, we had a great spa trip over Easter. At Madame Tussauds, the turbopass itself was slack. The long snakes caused us to do without the entrance. Once we had to decide either to cancel the booked bus trip or to cancel the booked breakfast, since the hotel unexpectedly on the Easter holidays later than normal the restaurant opened ..... A shame! The view from the shard we only made, because contained in the turbopass! It was one of the best experiences in London.
We had the Turbopass London without an Oystercard, because we had already received from the travel agent. The tickets were everywhere without problems. However, you do not save much money.
Good alternative to London Pass, if you are traveling with children and would like to visit only a few paid highlights.
A good passport if you are traveling with children who just want to watch certain highlights.
The only downside I should mention is that it is not, as noted in part, Priority Entrance Tickets. In most of the things we have not really noticed, since the snakes were not long, but at Madame Tussauds we had to wait then also 1.5 h, which I believe is still little. The only priority was then that after the 1.5 h a checkout was only reserved for voucher customers like us. But overall this is a good thing, if you look at the individual prices with some things.
All good
