We enjoyed this tour immensely. It was a little cold and ran very late, but our driver and guide were excellent in their knowledge and skills. Well worth the money, but the bus windows need to be cleaned before each trip because all our pics at night had bird droppings on them.

Brett_C

Fantastic live guide. Very informative trip and sights at night were brilliant. Well worth the cost. Superb.

joanne_n

It was informative but the company does not try to contact tourists of the tour with changes and they were running 30 min late so i couldn’t finish the tour as i would not have the tube to return home as they ended later than planned All were accommodating and pleasant otherwise

Rita_H

It was an informative tour and a different perspective than during the day. Unfortunately, it was our first day in London and I was suffering from jet lag!

We were taken to some beautiful spots in this gorgeous city. Some of them we had already seen before that day, but it was amazing to see them illuminated and hear what Kevin has to say about Harry Potter and Old/New Scotland Yard :) funny and interesting guide, thank You.

Adam_Y

Do to a flight cancellation, the airline put us up in a hotel for an unplanned evening in London. This was a perfect way to spend a few hours sightseeing while tired and with no plans. I'd recommend the company market to the airport hotels because there were dozens of us in the same situation, and it sounds like it's a regular occurrence.

SUSAN_M

It was good. It wasn’t quite what I expected but for what they were allowed to do. It was very nice. The tour guide was excellent. He was very informative and engaging and pointed out items before we got there so we could try and get pictures. Of course you can’t stop when you’re on the bus tour but it was really nice to see London lit up at night.

Brandon_T

The night tour was a great way to see London. Streets were much less crowded and the views of the sights at night were amazing.

Gary_H

The tour guide was very passionate about the tour and he was very knowledgeable about each sight. He brought some lightness to the tour which was great.

Angel_M

For a last minute tour straight off my flight, it hit all the major sight-seeing spots I didn’t have the energy to walk around to. Very convenient for a solo traveler or group.
