We had a rainy nighttime tour but the sense of humour of our guide still made it all enjoyable and worthwhile.

Felt the tour was ok. Ian tried to entertain us the best he could with his humor and great knowledge.. However, audio needs to be added. We could not hear!
Great nighttime overview of London, covering many highlights, from Matthew, with great driving by Mahmoud.
TThe temperature was quite low, bus/wind made it difficult to hear the guide and its impossible to pause for nighttime photography.
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!! 👌
Absolutely fantastic with a knowledgeable guide who made the 90 minute tour so enjoyable. Thoroughly recommend
Nice night tour.The bus cleanliness and comfort is average. The tour guide is great. Pick up location is good
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.
This was a great tour to see London at night. It was well worth it for us to relax and take in the scenery after a long day.
So much fun! Great experience on this bus, riding up top. Saw many lovely points of interest. Pickup location was very convenient. Would definitely recommend,
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!
The best tour guide you will ever have. The guy was funny and gave us so much information. Worth every penny!!!
Fantastic guide and experience - 10 out of 10, definitely worth the time, highly recommend! Great tour for someone with visual and/or mobility issues.
I twas a good tour with the guide adding a bit of humor along the way (my wife and I were about the only ones laughing out loud)
It was good, easy to understand, filled with a lot of dad jokes or side stories which distracted from the sites. Things were often behind us.
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.
A fun informative and concise journey through London. The tour guide Michael was funny and very knowledgeable.
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!
The tour and the guide were very good. Our mistake was to book the early tour. The point was to see London by night and it was still daylight when we finished.
My family loved the tour! London was beautiful at night with all the lights, make sure to do the later tour for the darkest skies. Matthew our tour guide was informative and funny!!
Great tour, lots of fun stories. A good way to relax and sightsee after a long day of work. Hit all the top sights
Very well organized tour. The tour guide was very detailed in his description of the history of London. London is very beautiful at night. I would 100 percent recommend this activity.
This was an awesome tour! This night tour gives you a more lit up view of London that the day tours can't provide. This was a great way to kick off my family's London adventure! John was an awesome tour guide and provided a great history lesson!
There was a parade at our pick up place. Zero communication. Called and called, could not find where to meet up instead. Never got to go on our tour.
Easy breezy, if you want to see the hilights and are walking impaired this is a wonderful and interesting tour. There are alot of historical facts.
The trip set off half an hour late. Then towards the end of the journey the announcer who’s name was Ian slipped in we wouldn’t be getting dropped off at the departure point and turned out to be a 30 min walk from the point of departure at green park. Not an explanation or an apology and at the time everyone thought he was joking and was just a tongue in cheek comment. It clearly states on your brochure will be dropped off at the departure point. We were on the 21:15 pm tour and suffering from a leg injury wouldn’t have booked this knowing we weren’t to return to green park departure point due to this we incurred extra cost in returning to our hotel the Washington. When asked why we were been dropped approx 500 yards from outside Charing Cross station his answer was because this is where you are getting dropped. Wrong line go get back to where we started.Seriously not happy about having to pay for a taxi.
Great experience, easy to find, very entertaining, wonderful history of the city. Tour guides were very knowledgeable and funny.
Excellent tour! We decided (last minute) to join the tour and it did not disappoint. With two short days in London, it was a great way to see the sites. And we didn’t have to walk! The tour guide was great, knowledgeable and engaging.
We started our trip with this. It was a great way to go get information and views of the city that help inform things you might want to visit over the week.
The evening trip at 8pm had perfect weather in May. No rain and it was not too hot. The guide was really entertaining and knowledgeable.
Wonderful tour, we were able to see so much in a short amount of time from the comfort of the bus. I highly recommend.
This is the original and best Nighttime Tour of London. The guide was a wealth of knowledge and very entertaining. We saw tons of London sights and it was an exceptional tour. I would highly recommend this one.
This night bus tour was well worth the money. Our tour guide was great. Perfect night sky, sun setting and the city lights were perfect. You saw the city coming to life ar night. I was great tour all around. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!
Good general information about London sights - also, I got a question answered re how to see the Royal Horse Guards
Bundle up warm if it’s cool out. A lot of amazing sites. The lights across the bridges and Big Ben at night was my favorite. The gentleman who was commentating was a riot!🤣
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the “See London by Night” tour, and a big part of that was thanks to our driver, Daniel! He drove exceptionally well throughout the entire journey, handling London’s busy traffic with great professionalism and care. We felt safe and comfortable at all times, which made the tour even more enjoyable. Daniel was incredibly friendly, polite, and helpful, and it was clear that he truly enjoys his job. He was patient with all passengers, very punctual, and helped create such a pleasant atmosphere during the tour. Highly recommend this tour, and a huge thank you to Daniel for his professionalism, kindness, and positive attitude throughout the evening!
It was nice. We chose to sit near a window to see and photograph, but our windows were dirty. Our guide was friendly and kind, but got flustered as the microphone system was having issue, not her fault.
I chose this night tour for me and my 10 year old son who had never been to London before and we both really loved it! I had considered a hop on, hop off tour during the day, but we had limited time in London with a list of places to visit, so I figured we wouldn't actually spend much time on the bus if I booked that. This was the perfect alternative, and a fun thing to do at night. Very friendly and welcoming, a good route and a fun commentary at a good price! It was also nice to put your feet up and see London sitting down after walking around all day! I thoroughly recommend!
Very hard to hear commentary wIt's challenging to hear the commentary due to the wind, and taking photos is tough while the bus is in motion.
Excellent local knowledge and a fun and engaging way to see London at night. Driver was great. Although we had seen the buildings during the daytime on another tour, they looked truly magnificent to see them at night.
London by night is absolutely amazing and our tour guide Michael was great fun ! After a day walking it's a good way to go sightseeing and enjoy the most famous landmarks with no.effort
It was amazing. Great times. Love it!!
Great fun with funny guide that makes it even better. Saw more than I expected. It was freezing but worth it!!
It wasn't bad, but wasn't the type of tour that will blow you away. Can only get good photos if you are on the top of the bus and in the back part that isn't covered. For the price, it was okay.
This tour covers most of the popular sights you'd want to see in London. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun!
We had an overnight layover in London and planned this tour. It was a great way to touch all of the iconic locations and culture— the London Eye, the Thames, Parliament, Buckingham Palace, the financial district, Green Park, Waterloo and more. For those with more time, the tour is a way to orient oneself to many sites and return to the sites that appeal to you, spending more time.
This is a perfect nighttime activity. All of the guides are personable and you get to see all of London in its evening splendor. Met a very good friend who was also traveling solo. We still keep in touch. Our tour was in September!
What a great way to see the city at Christmas. Our guide, Michael, was full of information about the city and had a fantastic sense of humor to boot! Be sure to dress for the weather and sit outside on the upper level. Definitely worth it.
