Fantastic 5.0
I purchased a 4-day pass. You need to install the Go City app and link your pass to it. After that, you can simply scan the QR code directly at the entrance of each attraction to enter, which is very convenient. You can even make attraction reservations directly through the Go City app, making the whole experience hassle-free. Basically, visiting two to three attractions per day already makes the pass worth the price.

just present the QR code for getting the physical ticket at the entrance. be prepared some spare time maybe 10mins for queuing the security check before entering. the audio guide is great, you can know every stories by selecting the specific area.

A meaningful trip with supportive tour guides and stadium staff who are also friendly and flexible. It was truly meaningful to be able to stand on the pitch and stay close to the official location where matches take place.

They have staffs to support in every spots in the stadium, no all good with self-guided audio tour. You will see all important and take photo as much as you can. Avoid to book the tour on match day, as the booking will be cancelled.

You can choose between the elevator or the stairs to go up. However, since the elevator can get crowded and there are exhibits along the way if you take the stairs, we recommend the stairs if you are up for it physically. Also, after coming back down, there is an engine room exhibit next to the gift shop, which you can enter by showing your ticket. At the top, there is a section with a transparent floor where you can see straight down; it is a little scary, but a lot of fun!

Great experience with many things to see. Recommend to join the Yeoman Warder Tour. I also enjoyed the Crown Jewels Exhibition. One of the best paid tourist attractions in London if you're into history.

Easier to use than expected. You can just scan to enter. For the London Eye, you need to book in advance, but they didn't even check the time (we arrived on time). They don't check passports anywhere in England, so you don't need to carry it; it's heavy.
