Loved the London Pass episode

Tracy’s chat with Daryl about the London Pass really was informative and eye-opening. I had heard of the Pass before but was rather skeptical of its value to me until Daryl mentioned some of the lesser-known sites included. I could not wait to check out the Pass’ website and see the value provided! Thank you, as always, for providing such first-class information!
