Your night tour through London begins in the city center. Board the double-decker bus and grab a comfortable seat for the ride. Setting off through Piccadilly, get your first views of London magically illuminated. See the lively evening crowd and pass elegant stores such as Fortnum & Mason juxtaposed by modern neon billboards.
Soon arrive at St. Paul’s Cathedral, the country's second-biggest church and a masterpiece of baroque architecture. Take a moment to marvel at the magnificent dome set against the city skyline, then catch great views of the illuminated London Eye and the iconic Tower Bridge, spilling golden light down from its two magnificent towers.
Continue on to Westminster to view the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey wonderfully shadowed by spotlights, and drive alongside the Thames River, dotted with glittering boats.
The final leg of your tour takes you to Kensington, an attractive neighborhood flush with concert venues, museums, and upscale shopping. Pass by Harrods—one of London’s most famous department stores—on your way back to Green Park, where your tour ends.

The bus didn’t leave to almost 9:20pm after having tickets for 8:30pm. It drove a little too quick to get pictures of the main attractions. If the bus was stopped because of the red light then it was the only time to grab a picture if you were in a great place. Even thought my son and I walked the London we wanted to see it at night. I wasn’t impressed with London by night.
We leave the bus station at 8pm because of traffic jam. But was very well narrated and amenic. Love the tour guide jokes
Highly entertaining, very informative and very personable tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend!! 👌

Nice night tour.The bus cleanliness and comfort is average. The tour guide is great.
Pick up location is good
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Dear Guest,
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the night tour and found the guide great. We also appreciate your comments on the bus and pickup location.
EvanEvansTour Team
The bus was filthy and smelled of urine. The description of this tour was misleading. You’re not allowed to get close to Buckingham Palace in a bus so you don’t actually see it. The host was in inappropriate, obnoxious, and vulgar. Please do not waste your money on this. There are many other tour companies that will do what you are promised. I left this tour very disappointed. The tour was so bad that I wanted to leave halfway through the bus ride because the tour guide was rude and not informative. I purposely sat upstairs where I could feel the cool wind because the bus smelled so bad.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Dear Guest,

We had such a wonderful experience on this tour! Everything was well organized, enjoyable, and informative from beginning to end. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience interesting and fun.
We especially appreciated how much information our guide shared while still keeping the tour relaxed and enjoyable. We never felt rushed, and there was a great balance between learning about the area and having time to really take everything in.
We have taken many tours throughout our month-long European vacation, and this was definitely one of the good ones. It was a great way to experience the area, and we’re very happy we booked it.
Thank you for a memorable experience. We would absolutely recommend this tour to others!

This is my 4th trip to London and I’ve always checked out the sites during the day. Riding around at night brings a different feel to seeing the city. Everything is lit up and magical. The guide was very knowledgeable and funny. We enjoyed the 1.5 hr tour. Keep in mind that this is not a hop on hop off type tour. You will stay on the bus the whole time. It’s a great way to ride around and take in the sites at night.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Dear Guest,
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us, and for choosing to tour with us again during your fourth trip to London!

It’s fantastic to hear that you enjoyed the 1.5-hour tour and found your guide both knowledgeable and funny. We also appreciate you highlighting that this is a sightseeing tour where guests remain on the bus throughout — we’re sure this will be helpful to future travellers.

We really enjoyed our tour! We arrived as people were boarding so there was only space on the ground level. I asked if we could take the next bus as it was really hot so we could sit on the top level. They let us wait for next ride and put us first in line! The guide was hilarious, had a great singing voice and we learned a lot of stuff ! highly recommend but we should have done it at the beginning of our trip!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
