Top York Sightseeing Passes

Super convenient and remarkably good value I have done this twice now, and the york pass is the way to do it. Booking if needed woth venues can be done, it has neat little discounts for other things too. Just all round, easy to use!!

Before buying the pass, choose what you want to do and add up how much it would cost without a pass. You have to work quite hard and cram in a lot of places, from opening to closing times, to make it worthwhile!

I bought the 3-day ticket for April 2026 and feel I got my money's worth. There were a few attractions that I wasn't able to get to as I was using public transport but the attractions I went to were quite good. As it was the Easter weekend, I wasn't able to get into York Minster on the day I planned due to religious services but that was fine.I got some help from the tourist information office staff regarding the app and the ticket which helped. Overall, I would get the ticket again if I planned another trip to York as there is still plenty for me to see.

Great value for money because lots of the interesting things to see in York cost £10 and take less than an hour - it adds up pretty quickly!

Useful pass for free visits to various attractions in York and the surrounding area. We made good use of the 3-day pass, so you should also choose something easier to go with because it's on the map anyway. Note that some attractions must be reserved in advance. Never had a problem offering the card.

It´s a must to have The York Pass. We´ve been with my family to York and the Pass allowed us to visit a wide variety of tourist attractions. Easy to use it, we showed the Pass on our mobile phone and that´s it. If you want to discover this beautiful city, you must have it. We are very satisfied with our purchase.

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 :)

Got a 2 day pass managed to go to 18 attractions. All the people were really friendly and helpful. My partner and son really enjoyed the cocoa works learning about how chocolate is made.

Fantastic pass absolutely great value for money top attractions included within the pass cant wait to visit again

Staff at York visitor center has been very helpful. The pass was worth the price

This is really good value if you are doing a number of visits to various attractions also got a blue light discount purchasing at visitors center . Really good online experience using the digital pass

The Pass was excellent value for money as it was valid at so many attractions (we were family of four). So useful. I would certainly recommend it.

In July I brought some students from my English academy in Spain, along with their parents, to York for a five day cultural trip. We booked the 3-day York Pass and it was worth every penny. The excellent staff in the sales / customer service department not only helped with groop bookings for the 21 passengers, but also recommended bus routes and bus stops for our excursions further afield to Castle Howard and Pickering, where we caught the North Yorkshire Moors train. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy all the varied, high-quality, entertaining and educational attractions York has to offer without worrying about booking individual tickets, and it also gave us the freedom to follow our own interests. Excellent value for money, a superb experience, I would 100% recommend both the fantastic city of York and its surroundings, and the Visit York Pass!

Excellent value for money (three day pass) does make you try and fit as much as you can in the time allowed. Well worth it.

Excellent service at Visit York where I purchased my pass from. The pass made it really handy to use the on/off buses and to access the Jorvik centre, Minster and York Castle Museums easily. My pass lasted for three days. There are so many places where it can be used. Recommended.

We wanted to see as much as possible whilst in York and the pass worked out as the most economical way of doing so.
