About Worth The Pass

Worth The Pass answers one question before a city break: whether a sightseeing pass costs less than buying each ticket at the gate, for the things you plan to see.

Updated

What the site does

You pick a city and tick the attractions, tours and buses you plan to do. We add up their gate prices for your group and compare that total with each pass we compare for the city. Every pass gets a verdict, Worth it, Close call or Skip it, and the figures that decided it sit under the word.

At launch that covers New York, San Francisco, Boston, Paris, London, Rome, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Lisbon and Chicago: 55 passes in all.

Independent of every pass seller

Worth The Pass sells no passes and takes no bookings. No pass seller, attraction or tourist office owns it, pays for a place on it or reviews what it says. Pass and attraction names appear as plain text so you can find the product on its own site.

Product and company names are trademarks of their owners.

What we read, and what we do not claim

  • Prices and terms come from the seller's own pass page and the attraction's own ticket page. Each one shows the month we read it.
  • We have not used the passes. We read what sellers and attractions publish and do the arithmetic.
  • A price a page does not publish shows as not published and stays out of every total. We never fill the gap with a guess.
  • We make no claim about queues or time saved, and we never call a pass the best. A verdict holds for the plan you entered, nothing more.

The methodology sets out each rule, and the data page shows what we cover and when we read it. Links may earn a commission one day; how we make money explains why that never moves a result.

Questions about the site

Does Worth The Pass sell passes?
No. We sell nothing and take no bookings. A link to a pass opens the seller's own page, and you buy there under the seller's terms.
Why would a well known pass come out as Skip it?
For the plan you entered, the pass costs more than 10% above the gate prices of the things you ticked. Tick the attractions you would use it for, or change the days, and the verdict can change with them.
Why compare with the gate price and not a reseller price?
The attraction's own standard price is the one anyone can buy from the attraction itself, at the door or on its site. Reseller offers move by the week and come with their own terms. Where an attraction sells a cheaper standard ticket online, we use that lower price.
How current are the prices?
Every price on a result shows the month we read it on the seller's or the attraction's own page. We read them all again each quarter; the data page lists the months per city.
