“Not great if you don't speak English. We are bothered by the noise the guide makes with his microphone and we can't hear the audio through the headphones which barely work. We also spend more time in traffic jams and are stuck in place for an hour, in short I don't recommend it.”

Ride a restored vintage double-decker through Trafalgar Square, Oxford Street, Regent Street, and Westminster with live Christmas lights commentary.
“Excellent tour - traffic was fine when we went (7pm). Tour guide was lovely and had some great facts about the central London area (even for locals like us), and some of the lights were really fantastic. One tip: wrap up warm, they say it in the description but really do - the bus is open top and windy when it goes fast.”
Open-top bus at night for London’s Christmas lights: Oxford Street, Regent Street, Trafalgar Square, London Eye and Westminster. 1 hour.

London Christmas lights guided walk with silent disco headphones and festive music, 1h45, from Rathbone Street. Great value for the season.
“The guides were amazing and made this tour! We saw a lot of lights but what really made it were the people! I highly recommend to anyone who wants to see London in a fun way!”
