Visitor Travelcards cannot be bought in London - overseas visitors have
to purchase them in their own country.

This is very true, but are they so much cheaper than an ordinary Zones
1-4 ODTC?

VTCs are either 2-zone or 6-zone and are for 3, 4 or 7 days.

Whether or not there is much difference in price depends on exchange
rates and on what price the overseas agent is asking.

The first example I found on Google was a 3-day 2-zone VTC for 23 US
dollars. That's 12.97 UKP, compared with 15.90 if you bought three ODTCs
in London - plus the VTC comes with vouchers for reduced admission
charges at various attractions.

So, there's a small saving to be had.
