Long Beach family Dan and Renee Stoeckle, both 34, and their kids Wyatt, 11, Juliette, 4, and Aidan, 2.In February, we were treated to a wonderful VIP day with the London Pass after we unknowingly purchased the one-millionth sight-seeing pass online before our trip. We had planned on using the London Pass to see the sights while we visited my parents outside of London. Last year, we bought two-day passes during our visit and had great time, although we felt two days really wasn't enough time to see everything we wanted to see, so this year we bought the 6-day passes.
We feel that history and culture are important and we wanted to show the kids different ways of living. In London, we loved to show them art, museums, have them eating different foods - and wanted to feel that the kids got a good cultural experience. Heritage is important to learn and to experience first-hand instead of reading about it in a book and the London Pass was the best way to see the sites, visit attractions and experience all London has to offer in a short amount of time.
We had an absolutely amazing day and really couldn't believe our luck. We bought a London Pass the last time we visited because it offers great value and gives you the ability to plan in advance, so we thought we'd take the opportunity to see even more of London this time. But we certainly never dreamed we'd get the full VIP treatment.
We were given the use of our very own London black taxi and cabby for the day as we fed giraffes at ZSL London Zoo and had the opportunity to raise the lever to bring the city to a standstill by lifting the Tower Bridge. We were treated to a special lunch at the Hard Rock Café, which included a private tour of their Vault, and we even got the chance to channel our inner rock star!
We ended our day with the Beefeaters at The Tower of London in the historic Ceremony of the Keys. It truly was an amazing experience.
