Los Angeles is the type of city that has a plethora of sights, entertainment attractions,
and inspiring museums.
If you plan to make the most out of your time here and visit as much as possible the admission
fees can really add up!
But fear not, as there is a variety of tourist passes.
And we here at Free Tours by Foot with this video can help you make the best decision
as to which one is right for you.
First, you may be wondering ... what exactly is a tourist discount pass?
These can be cards, mobile apps, or coupon books that allow you to purchase entrance
to attractions, events and museums in bulk and save on entrance.
There are a few different kinds of passes that we'll go over.
All Inclusive - one pass that includes everything but limits you to a number of days.
Or you can choose a set number of attractions - you have more time, usually 30 days, but
are limited to what sites are included.
The Build Your Own Pass lets you choose what to save costs on but rather than get free
entrance, you may just get discounted entrance and have usually up to a month to use it.
Combo Packages are like All Inclusive but you have a bit more time to use them and they'll
only include a few of the most popular attractions.
Depending on which package or pass you choose, you'll find free or discounted entrance to
a variety of the hop on hop off bus tours, including Celebrity Homes tours or Hollywood
at Night.
Rides at Pacific Park at Santa Monica Pier or entrance to Universal, Warner Brothers,
Sony studios.
You can also visit the LaBrea Tar Pits or the TCL Chinese Theatre on guided tours.
There is only one All-Inclusive option in Los Angeles, and it is the Go Los Angeles
Card.
This pass saves you up to 50% on top LA attractions.
You can choose from more than 30 attractions including museums, cruises, tours and more
and take your times exploring 1, 2, 3, 5, or 7 calendar days over a two week period.
With this card, the more you see each day, the better the value in the end.
There is also only one Pick Your Attraction Pass and that is the
Los Angeles Sightseeing Pass
Rather than paying for a specific number of days, this pass will allow you to pay one
flat price for either 3, 4, 5, or 6 different activities.
You can also Build Your Own Pass with the Go Los Angeles Card.
This pass can be customized to fit your tastes.
You’ll save up to 20% when you add two or more attractions to the card and you have
the option to choose from over 40 attractions.
With Combo Pass Rather than paying one price for dozens of different activities, these
combo packages and passes focus primarily on a certain set of attractions.
Packaged deals on the Go Los Angeles Card offer a variety of set attractions (think
of a pre-set menu) at discounted prices, for example the Top 4 LA Attractions Package.
This Includes Universal Studios Hollywood®, Warner Bros. Studio Tour, Madame Tussauds
Hollywood, and Hollywood Movie Stars’ Homes Tour.
You’ll save 32% on admission fees for these 4 attractions.
A good thing to remember is that our Los Angeles walking tours are name your own price - an
option for any budget and compliment any of the tourist discount packages.
