Hi,
We are planning a trip to London and have a list of attractions we want to visit. Has anyone used the Go City Pass? It looks like it offers a savings but I have read mixed reviews. I'm looking for input...has anyone had a great experience with the pass and/or any frustrations. If we but the pass, I want to make sure it has ease of use and that we are able to get into the attractions we want to see without issues.
Thank you!

I had never heard of it but it seems to be the same as the London Pass, which has been around for a long time. iT is possible to make savings if you have a particular itinerary in mind that fits but my understanding is that it does not deliver for the majority of visitors. You need to bear in mind that the main collections in most of London's museums and galleries are free to enter, so are not included on the pass. assuming you want to visit some, such as the British Museum, The V&A the Tate museums etc (and you should) then it will be almost impossible to make savings with the pass.
the pass also gives you savings on places that most would not choose to see. For example the View from the Shard is very expensive, but not really any better than the view from the Sky Garden, which is free to visit as long as you book in advance.

Many of those wonderful, free/donation-requested museums are also quite large. Taking advantage of some of those would really eat into the time you'd have available to go to sights covered by the pass. I am very, very skeptical but haven't tried to use a pass in London.
