With an age ranging from 17-85 on our trip, finding something that we all enjoyed was fabulous. The tour was well organised and the host Carry-Ann was informative, funny, warm and welcoming. The lights were beautiful and our driver ensured that we saw them all. We would definitely recommend this x

We had an excellent time. Our guide Samuel was very witty and informative. One glitch, we wanted to be picked up at the London Eye but gave us directions to another pick up Location. Everyone was kind enough to let us on at the different stop. Would recommend this tour to others.

We were lucky with the weather and had a smart guide. Despite the relatively heavy traffic, we saw a lot of London. This tour can be highly recommended. The guide should get in touch when he is in Bern.

Emma from Canada was very good as a tour guide she gave useful information and funny dad jokes. She involved the passengers in questions and where are are you from questions which made it very inclusive

Abbey, our guide, was excellent. Streets were obviously very busy, so progress was a bit slow in parts. Not sure if this was the reason, but our tour ended up on a shorter route, not actually crossing the Thames and back, as was on the map route.

Cruise through London on a 90-minute night bus tour, catching sparkling lights and epic Christmas displays that transform the city into a winter wonderland.

Start your adventure from a choice of 3 locations and soak up the sparkling city views from the upper deck for open-air or lower deck for comfort.

Get the inside scoop on London’s rich history from a live English-speaking guide while savoring London's landmarks from the upper or lower deck of the bus!

Click stunning night photos as you glide past Southbank’s Christmas market, Oxford Street’s 5,000 sustainable stars, and the lit-up London Eye as your backdrop.

Ivan was a very good tour guide - super entertaining. My issues were with the bus loading. I paid extra for my family to have a seat on the upper deck; however, no one checked the tickets to see if you paid extra. So, everyone in line rushed to the upper deck and took all of the seats. I ended up with a seat by a dirty widow making all of the lights very hard to see.
