Freezing cold but worth it!

Published on Jan, 2025

My third time on this tour and it was the best one yet. It's freezing on top of the bus, so highly rec bringing layers and blankets/hats/gloves. Gorgeous views on London CHristmas Lights in 1.5-2 hours times. We drove all over London and saw so many stunning sites. Highly recommend if you love lights!

Well organized, left on...

Well organized, left on time and covered all the famous area for lights. It was a beautiful experience.

Beautiful

This tour was on a vintage double decker bus. The evening was a little brisk with some rain drops. For me that added to the experience. Some London history was included as well as some royal buildings. The lights were big and beautiful. London does Christmas well.

Christmas lights bus ride

Published on Dec, 2024

Was a great way to see the lights and get some nice pictures. So many displays to see so you are not going to see everything. Would recommend and be sure to dress warm.

Great tour!
