Great Nightime Tour

Sasha_N, Nov 2025

It was perfect! Did this with my husband in November and it was great! Viewing the sites at night is a truly different but amazing experience. The bus left promptly on time and was able 1.5hrs. Listened to the commentary and learnt a lot about the British culture. Would definitely recommend! If doing this tour during the cold season be sure to have a hat and scarf if sitting on the top level. It does get a little chilly.

The audio connection and provided info was very poor. We didn’t get any info. It was not satisfactory at all.

Waste of time, no Buckingham Palace

Victoria_N, Jul 2023

The tour description said that Buckingham Palace was along the tour route. We did not see the palace at all. The audio experience did not match the tour stops and there was no explanation for most of the historic sites. I would recommend if you want to see London, find a taxi driver to do a private tour in the evening instead. This was a waste of money and very disappointed that we spent our only evening in the city on this tour.

Don't waste your time!

Kitty_L, Jul 2023

The tour was suppose to be for an hour and 30 min. It was only one hour. The commentary was horrible. It played music most of the time versus explaining the sites. When it ended we didn't even know. People were still sitting because we all read on this site the tour is 90 min.

Go for better.

Mary_W, Aug 2022

There were lots of sights but no one we could stop at long enough to look or take a good photo. If you only have a little time this is fine but I won't say it was anything spectacular because you can't really look for long. Also picks up in a very busy tourist area with high crime. Not my best choice obviously.

Horrible

Afetsi_F, Oct 2021

We stood at London eye waiting for the bus! Which never came!! We run after one across where we were waiting and the driver ignored us-shaking his head. We followed after one in a taxi and were told by the driver that we had to join at Covent Garden. This was not communicated to us when we booked!

Lovely tour of London

Anri, Jul 2021

Great tour guide and easy way to get a quick overview of the history that London holds… helps in deciding what are the areas you would like to return to! Also not too long to start boring the children. It was engaging till the end for my son.

Impossible de trouver les arrêts de bus
