My 1-Day London Go City® All Inclusive Pass Review for Mature Travelers
London sightseeing adds up fast – Tower of London (£34.95), Westminster Abbey (£31), hop-on-hop-off bus (£34+). The 1-day London All Inclusive Pass bundles 90+ attractions with unlimited hop-on-hop-off bus rides (for 24 hours) and Uber Boat Thames Clippers into one price, turning ticket stress into seamless exploring. Go City® gifted mine for review, I tested if it delivers for travelers 60+ who value comfort alongside value.
Why Do People Love the Go City® Pass?
Travelers rave about skip-the-line access at the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey – “no standing forever, my knees thanked me.” The app’s digital delivery and time-slot booking eliminate paper tickets mid-ride, while 90+ choices give you food, walking or biking tours and timed entry options. If you plan well, most say the London Go City® 1-Day Pass pays for itself by lunch.
What London Sites Did I See on the Go City® Pass?
London offers many walking tours, museums and historical sites to see. With my one-day all-inclusive pass I was able to choose five options. I was more interested in visiting museums so I skipped other tourist sites though your choices may be different. I started my day at Tower of London (I made a beeline for the breathtaking Crown Jewels). If I wanted I could have taken a tour of London Bridge as part of the bundle but this was not a priority with my limited time.
At Tower Pier, you can hop onto the Uber Boats by Thames Clipper and take a quick boat ride to Westminster Pier bypassing heavy London traffic and glimpsing sights from the Thames River.
The Go City® Pass has an eligible entrance to Westminster Abbey – the location of royal weddings, coronations and christenings with a Gothic nave, Coronation Chair, and Poets’ Corner. Also on the pass, you may consider the Palaces and Parliament – Top Sights Tours for highlights of the Houses of Parliament, St. James Palace, Buckingham Palace(for the changing of the guard) and Trafalgar Square – this is a 3-hour walking tour.
You can pick up the Big Bus Hop-on-Hop-Off bus right in front of Westminster Abbey and head to the Marble Arch stop in Hyde Park for a contemporary art tour at the compact Moco Museum – Banksy stencils, Jeff Koons’ sculpture and Robbie Williams’ exhibit filled 90 memorable minutes.
Why Go City® Pass Suits Women 60+
This pass eliminates the nickel-and-dime of individual tickets while prioritizing comfort. Skip-the-line access saves energy at busy sites. Bus/boat bundle avoids Tube chaos, perfect for fatigue-free days. Flexible choices, you select accessible attractions and steep Tube stairs. One price, and a digital pass on your phone, means less planning, more time to experience the best of London.
Would I Recommend This Pass?
As an avid traveler, I’m always looking for a good deal and the London Go City® can help with that! The most important tip I can give you is you have to plan out what you want to see. With so many options, it can be overwhelming.
London is a big city with big city prices, traffic and delays. Even with the Tube and Uber Boats options, the Hop-on-Hop-off bus took forever – but it covered a lot of territory. That said, I was able to visualize which attractions are grouped together – and let someone else worry about the driving!
The Go City® website lets you experiment with different itineraries and days with suggestions on what to tackle first. (With some practice, I managed to cluster attractions that are in the same vicinity – saving time and energy.) This is a great tool to use for planning purposes and to see how much money you are saving.
The Tower of London alone justified the cost, and the flexibility to skip the London Eye or Westminster Abbey without “wasting” value kept it stress-free – a two-day pass for an additional £40 would have justified those stops. Comfortable shoes, early Tower start, digital pass on phone equals success. Perfect for London lovers who prefer substance over speed.
Go City® passes are also available for Paris, Dublin, Prague, Rome, Barcelona, and other North American and limited locations in Asia for your next adventure.
Disclosure: The London Go City® 1-Day All-Inclusive Pass was gifted to me for review purposes. No compensation was received or editorial input was granted. All opinions are my own. We were so impressed with the value that my husband and I purchased the Dublin Pass from Costco.
