“I really enjoyed this tour. The guide provided a candid and interesting commentary on the Christmas lights with some quirky information on them and London landmarks/buildings. I did feel however that it could be improved a little by prompting the customers when they are going to pass special Christmas lights so we can get the…”

★ 4.5

“We didn’t have ideal seats and spent most of the time looking up at the bus roof, but it was still enjoyable. The lights go by quickly, so you can’t really stop to take pictures. If you can, I’d recommend walking down Regent and Oxford Street to appreciate the lights properly.”

“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.”
