There are two categories of tours/attractions to choose from – Featured and Standard. 

Featured Tours: Most require reservations which can easily be made on the Mobile Pass you receive after purchase. Reservations are automated. TourPass connects to the tour company’s reservation system.

Watch the demo videos at the top of this page to see how easy reservations are made.

To view tour availability on the days you want to tour visit this page.

Standard Tours: Do not require reservations. Simply present your pass upon entry and pay zero admission fees.

Absolutely and we encourage this scenario since purchasing in advance will allow you to fully research and plan your vacation.

After purchase, when your ready, simply activate your pass for when you’ll be visiting and begin making reservations for that future date (can be today, tomorrow or months away).

Days are counted as a calendar day and not per 24-hour period. It’s best to begin your day in the morning. If you check-in or make reservations on a particular day, that day will be active. If you do not then that day will not activate.

  • FOR MULTI-DAY PASSES (2, 3, 4 or 5-day passes):

    • Your pass is good for the number of days purchased (2, 3, 4 or 5-days). You will have 10-day window after activation to use your number of days purchased.
    • Days don’t have to be used consecutively.
    • Your pass is not valid for 10-days…only the number of days you purchased! You have a 10-day window to use your 2, 3, 4 or 5-day pass after activation, not a 10-day pass
    • Visits for everything must occur during your active days. Purchase a 2-day pass, all Featured and Standard/Walk-in attractions must be visited within 2-days.

TourPass is NOT a discount card and includes full admission to whatever attractions you choose.

It’s simple…

  • Featured Tours: are typically timed tours that require reservations. Reservations are easily made within the Mobile Pass you’ll receive. The number of Feature Tour reservations allowed per person tours/attractions allowed is determined by pass duration purchased. See table below.
    • Such as carriage, harbor, bus and walking tours.
  • Standard Tours: are places that don’t require reservations. A museum for example can be visited anytime during their operating hours. You can visit as many places in the Standard/Walk-in category as you wish for the duration pass you purchase.
    • Such as museums, parks, historical sites, wineries and restaurants.

The number of featured tour reservations allowed per person is determined by the duration of the pass you purchase. See table below:

For example: Purchased a 2-day pass (includes 3 feature tours).

  • 2 people x 3 feature tours = 6 total feature tour reservations.
  • If both people select the same tour….that would use 2 of the 6 feature tour reservations on their pass.

You can then reserve or make reservations for dates that are on or after the activation date chosen. Watch the Mobile Pass Demo video at the top of this page. 

Tours are designed to be visited 1x for the entirety of your pass. If for instance you’d like to do the Hop on Hop Off Trolley (Savannah + St. Augustine), then you could check-in on a second day which would use another of your featured tours.

Standard Tours can only be checked into 1x per person for the entirety of your pass.

  • Each person needs to pay either an adult or child pass price unless you have a child 2 years of age or younger.
  • You can purchase one pass can have up to 20 adults and 20 children per pass. Call if you’ll have more than this and we can accomodate.
  • A family for instance would purchase one pass, add 2 adults and 2 children all on one pass, which can be presented at each attraction where they check everyone on the pass in at once. No need to fumble with printed tickets…TourPass is very simple to use.

  • After you choose the activation date. you have a 10-day window to use your  active days.

Mobile Pass How it Works

  • A smartphone is required with an internet connection or data plan. Watch the Mobile Pass demo video at the top of this page.
  • After purchase we provide instructions to download our app to your phone along with your unique pass ID which will link your information to your app.
  • The Tour Pass app is connected to the Tour Vendor’s booking calendars via API so when you make a Featured reservation, it appears on the Vendor’s calendar automatically.
  • Instantly after purchase, our system will send you a text message and an email containing your unique pass ID number.
  • Download and then open the Tour Pass app, enter your unique pass ID number, then you can choose your activation dates.
  • You can select an activation date which could be set for today or 3 months from today.
  • Once set, your pass will then allow you to make reservations for your active days.
  • Days are counted per calendar day and not per 24-hour period.

Once you choose an activation date, the app will allow you to make advance reservations for when you made your pass active.

Watch this video which explains and demonstrates how to make a Featured Tour reservation:

If you purchase a pass for your group…for instance a 2-day pass for 4 people, you can send your pass to all people in your group. Doing so is great for groups or families that want to visit different attractions from others in the group.

Each attraction can only be visited 1x per person on the pass. TourPass can be purchased for multiple persons. For instance, one tour pass can be purchased for up to 30 adults and 30 children on one pass.

Read explanation below.

Attractions are required to check Tour Pass users in upon entry. When you present your mobile pass to participating attractions they will ask for your unique Pass ID number which can be viewed upon opening your mobile pass. The attraction will check-in however many people are present. If for example your pass were purchased for 2 adults and they check-in 2 adults, then that attraction will not allow re-entry in the future since each attraction can only be visited one time per person.

Example: Multiple Persons on One Pass: When Sending to Others Makes Sense: 

  • In this example the Parents purchased one 3-day Tour Pass for four adults.
  • They are taking their Daughter and Son-in-Law on vacation and wanted to pay for the TourPass.
  • The Parents could send or share their unique pass ID with their Daughter. They could download the app and enter the shared pass ID into their app.
  • The Parents could do what they want to do while their Daughter and Son-in-Law could also visit separate attractions they want to see at the same time.
  • The Parents could visit a Museum which would only check-in 2 of 4 available adults on that pass which would allow their Daughter and Son-in-Law to visit the same Museum at a later time….even on a different day.
  • They could meet-up for lunch….then split-up again and so forth.
  • Tour Pass is very flexible.
  • TourPass is 100% digital and all managed on the TourPass app. It’s all very organized and easy-to-use. Paper or printed tickets are not accepted.
  • After purchase you receive instructions to install our app. On the app you can make advance reservations for Featured Tours. Just arrive and tell them the name on your pass and for how many adults and children.  They’ll already have your booking in their system awaiting your arrival. Once a reservation is made you’ll also receive an email confirmation.
  • For Standard Tours and some Featured Tours, you just show your pass at the ticket counter, they check you in and all admission costs are paid with your pass.
  • On the app, each tour has easy-to-follow booking and arrival instructions.

Yes you can. After purchase, on the app, click the “upgrade” button and then you can select how many extra days or people you’d like to add to your existing pass. If you have a 1-day pass for example, you only pay the difference between what you paid a 1-day pass and the upgraded day pass costs…there are no additional fees to do so.
