Would 100% recommend!! My first time in York and the York pass is definitely worth it. I would say book and plan, although activities are fairly close to each other we needed to book over the October half term, plus the taxi companies all said it is a very busy city all the time. Do as much as you can and we managed to do some spontaneous things too. York minster had a light show on one night £7. We also managed to do a cocktail experience in the potion shop we paid just over £20 and so worth it!

We used the pass to visit York Minster, Cocoa Works, Ask Italian, York Castle Museam, Jorvik Centre, York Dungeon, Van Gogh Experience, Boat Cruise.

Great value for money although we didn’t use the hop on hop off bus as all the attractions we visited were within walking distance of each other.

Great way to explore as many attractions at a fraction of the usual cost.

The York pass is one of the best things to visit York!
