York City Pass Access more than 35+ Attractions & Hop On Hop Off

Great value if you plan ahead to maximise your time... :)

So i got these two 2 day Adult passes in the Xmas sale in 2025.. I think with the discount i paid around £170 in total. I had previously used the York Pass in 2019 and saved i think around £70-£80 from what i remember. This time i used the passes as part of a road trip so set off on day 1 of the pass from Whitby and went to the lovely Castle Howard and York Air Museum. I decided against going into York on day 1 as it was around 4-5pm when i left the Museum. I sadly didnt quite have time this time to go on the North York Moors steam train which i think is the most expensive attraction on the pass. Day 2 i got the park and ride after leaving my hotel at Sandburn Hall outside of York with the intention of doing a full day in York mainly using the pass (though i did find time to visit a couple of pubs too and have tea at another before leaving) I went 1st to York Minster in the morning spent a couple of hours in there. amazing place then planned it so i walked thru the City Centre minimising my walking times to fit in as many places as possible. I then went to the Jorvik Centre and the Van Gogh experience before then walking a short distance to Clifford Tower and the excellent York Castle Museum which are opposite each other. I finished off with a 5 minute walk and was lucky to just get the River Cruise before it left. an excellent way to finish the day relaxing on the boat with a drink in the sun. I probably had time to go to the York Army Museum which i saw on my walk back to the P&R bus near the Shambles but was a little tired and happy with how much i used my pass. I reckoned all these attractions would have cost just under £300 so still saved £110-£120 on the pass making it well worth it. As i said for people good at planning a day time wise and efficiently and who are reasonably mobile you can get alot out of the pass. I had to book the Jorvik and river cruise but had a great day 2 after a more sedate day 1 outside of York. No issues using the pass either :)

Original York Walks: Private Viking, Roman & History Experience

Excellent guided walking tour

Niel was an excellent guide. He was knowledge, energetic, and clearly interested in the history he was sharing. Great way to get an overview of York and decide where to revisit for longer.

The Original Uncomfortable York™ Tour

Perfect introduction to York and it's history

Wonderful tour! One of the best ever city tours me and my partner have ever attended. It was great value for money and perfectly designed. Captured the essence of the city and its history. Rob was really amazing! One of the best guides really! He is a performer, absolute pleasure to go on the tour with him.
