The tour was amazing. I wish I would’ve lasted longer. It was a beautiful night and the team that took care of us was amazing. I will definitely recommend.
Cockney Mick gave us good laughs and some neat inside info. Great way to get some ideas for more things to go see.
We received conflicting messaging about our tour. One message stated that our was canceled. While subsequent messaging led us to believe the tour was still on. Needless to say we showed up and waited for a tour that did not happen.
Customer service was no help.
It was a really fun tour. We passed by several great landmarks. Our guide (I forgot her name but I think it was Maryann) was very knowledgeable and had some fun quirky side stories that kept the tour upbeat.
A great way to see London at night. Great factoids. Recommend sitting on the left side of the bus as it seems like almost every site was on our left
That it’s great because a real person was talking and not a recording. Emma was great doing the history and letting us know about statues that we couldn’t drive by so all in all we all loved the tour.
Good way to see the city. There was a lot of information to absorb, as our guide was knowledgeable and shared a plethora of information.
Steve was awesome for guide. Memorable tour. We covered a lot of ground. Got to see the Waversley paddle ship
What other Travelers should know about my experience. Well it was awful the worst tour of ever had in my life especially like the point where he points down like an alley and says see down there where you need to look as we drive by. The announcer was incoherent even though I was only two or three feet from him the speaker system was terrible he rambled on without clear concise diction. I got nothing out of this tour except for cold.
access to this excursion was awesome and the price was very competitive…Akilah was very knowldgeable and provided the needed experience to book this excursion….great customer service!!!
Such a fun experience with a great guide. Seeing all of London in 1.5 hours from a double-decker bus was exactly what we were looking for. Very knowledgeable tour and the guide was amazing. Great way to see the city!
After our overnight flight this is a good way to see the sights lit up. Easy, no traffic, no walking.
The tour guide was awesome - he had the perfect mixture of knowledge and humor and got to see so much of London. I'd highly recommend this to anyone in the future!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, entertaining and helpful taking our pictures at memorable sites
Great review of history while taking in the London sites after dark. Bring a coat…it gets cool in the open air bus!
Fabulous and fun way to see sites ! We hit a beautiful sunset so our pictures are amazing
Jim was very informative
Great way to see all of London sights illuminated! The guide was entertaining and informative. Worth it! Easier on the feet too!
Very informative host was extremely knowledgeable. Also we're able to accommodate an earlier departure time. I scheduled late due to airport arrival delays. Made it an hour ahead of time. Also easily accessible from the Greenline.
This tour takes you through the city of London sharing history and fun facts about the town. You literally see everything! The tour guides are friendly and no food is allowed on the tour.
Get there 20 mins earlier, best photo ops are top deck toward the back. It got a little chilly ( 8pm-9:30 tour) great commentary throughout tour.
Our guide Stephen was incredible! Clearly an educated and knowledgeable Londonphile. Great British humor. Thoroughly enjoyed. He’d prosper wildly from Venmo tips and should absolutely have his own podcast!!

Mike did a great job, with his corny jokes.
One of the highlights of our London trip. We had an incredible guide- the night air was perfect, and it was such a pleasurable experience overall. We also got the best pics of Big Ben at night :)
Not too much traffic, the Host brilliant and good knowledge of England history.. The tour felt fulfilling and not rushed.
