LONDON - One of the world's busiest and most hectic cities, London is not renowned as a place where you get to simply 'go with the flow' - but that's now an option for sightseers with the relaunch of the flexible London Explorer Pass.
The London Explorer Pass is a multi-attraction city sightseeing card that allows visitors to choose from 20 of the best sights and experiences in the city - and enjoy them at their own pace. Three-, five- or seven-attraction passes are offered, with pass holders having 30 days to complete their visits.
London Explorer Pass holders simply choose the attractions, tours and experiences that best suit their interests. And with no need to pre-book visiting times or confirm attractions in advance, they get to visit whenever they wish - leaving them free to make, break, adapt or re-think their plans at any point.
London Explorer Pass experiences include many of the city's iconic attractions, such as the Coca-Cola London Eye, St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower Bridge Exhibition, Madame Tussauds and a Wembley Stadium tour.
For the relaunch, nine newly-featured attractions have been added: a Chelsea FC Stadium Tour, Thames River Cruise 24 Hour Hop-On-Hop-Off Sightseeing Tour, the Cutty Sark, Hampton Court Palace, HMS Belfast, Kew Gardens, the Royal Observatory Greenwich, the Shakespeare's Globe Exhibition & Theatre Tour, and Westminster Abbey.
The London Explorer Pass also offers holders an opportunity to make significant savings on their sightseeing compared with the standard cost of entry to individual attractions. On a three-attraction pass, priced at £69 per adult, users could visit the London Dungeon (normally £30), Madame Tussauds (normally £35) and enjoy a one-day hop-on/hop-off bus tour (normally £35) - a saving of £31.
