This was a great tour of London by night! Mick picked us up at our hotel and in two hours showed us all the beautifully lit, iconic spots such as Westminster Abbey, the Tower Bridge, Piccadilly circus, and some lesser known ones as well. He was fun , engaging and very knowledgeable about London and its history. His cab was spotless. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

We feel like we have a new friend in London. Mick, our guide, was charming, knowledgeable, funny, and helpful. We got four hours of information in two! Mick knew when to do a shallow dive and when to dive deep—and could! The car was incredibly clean, and his driving was superb. We wish we were staying longer so that we could go on another tour with him!
We had the absolute best time on this tour, 10/10! Mick was our guide and he was outstanding; friendly and so knowledgeable. We learned so much and saw beautiful places.
Our guide was excellent- Thanks John! He provided great knowledge of London and even included photos to show what sites were thousands of years ago to now. Wonderful personality!
This tour was amazing! Our guide, Jon, was so friendly and knowledgeable. He arrived early at our meeting location, took us around to all the London landmarks, took wonderful pictures of our family and overall provided such a fantastic experience my family. We would absolutely recommend this tour (and Jon specifically!) to anyone visiting London.
Steve “Dinero” was so knowledgeable and efficient, funny and super friendly. Very much recommend.
This is a GREAT tour! London has a totally different look at night that should not be missed. We recommend it highly.
We had an outstanding experience thanks to our tour guide. As a local, he brought the area to life with deep knowledge, fascinating stories, and insights you simply wouldn’t get from a guidebook. He was friendly, engaging, and always happy to answer questions, sharing personal experiences and local tips that made the tour feel authentic and special. His passion for the place really showed and made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone! Having a guide with true local knowledge made all the difference. Our whole family recommends!

This was so fun! Ollie was so knowledgeable and fun to talk with! He was excellent at remembering our names and information! We got lots of pictures and learned so much! My suggestion would be to do it earlier in your visit because he is a wealth of information regarding things to see & do!
This was one of the best tours! Our tour guide was very informative and the lights and the city is just beautiful.
Lot of interesting sites. The driver Paul was very knowledgeable. There are walking portions of the tour. Overall great experience.
Great way to see the sights in London. We loved seeing the city during the evening hours when there were no crowds and minimal traffic. Jim was fantastic and engaging.
Want to see London’s top landmarks in just two hours? This is the perfect way to do it! Our tour took us to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square as well as hidden gems such as London’s oldest wine shop where King George III was once weighed and a top viewing spot for the Tower of London and Tower Bridge. All lit up beautifully and looking magical. Jon was an excellent guide, a mine of information with some hilarious stories. The taxi was super comfortable, and had a glass roof offering great views. And with decades of experience as a London Cabbie, Jon knew all the secret stopping places where we got the very best views of top tourist attractions. I thoroughly recommend this tour!
Steve was the best. Highly recommend this company and activity. The car was great too. Steve stopped at good spots for us to grab the photos we were after. Took great care of us!
We had a simply amazing tour with Joe. He took us all over the city (even into special "secret" areas) to see the lights. He is a tremendous resource on all things London. Entertaining, engaging and knowledgeable!! A perfect time!
When my traveling companion suggested the Light Up the Night Tour, i wasn't terribly enthused. Was I wrong! The tour was fabulous and made even better by our personable and knowledgeable guide Paul Hunt. I highly recommend this tour and Paul Hunt.
What a fun tour! My husband and I have been to London many times but have seldom embraced nighttime in the city. This city tour takes you to many of London’s most famous monuments. It is beautiful seeing London uplit at night. Nick was our tour guide. Our first impression is that his taxi was impeccable…nary a speck of dust. Next, Nick is not only an impressive driver but more importantly an amazing guide. He is a kind, professional and a wealth of knowledge.
It was absolutely the best tour that I've ever been on. Out guide, John, was very knowledgeable, very friendly and explained so much of London's history. I definitely have to make a return trip to London, and I definitely recommend this tour service!
Excellent quick tour of London to show you the highlights. Our driver, Sean, went above and beyond to show us London. Will be back to explore more of London!!!!
Jon was a fabulous guide! Loves seeing the London sights while hearing stories. Jon was great at getting to perfect spots for photos. My family appreciated his kindness, knowledge and professionalism! I would certainly recommend this black cab night tour!
Our driver, Terry, was great! He confirmed pickup time and place the day before our scheduled tour and was very prompt. The tour was a lot of fun and Terry was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. He took us to so many iconic landmarks and knew where to stop so that we could get beautiful photos. Taking the tour our first night in London was a great introduction to a beautiful city! I highly recommend!!!
Personalized tour that kept our family of 5 completely engaged! Our teen daughters and 11 year old son. We absolutely loved our experience filled with insider tips.
Fantastic tour of London at night! Our guide was so knowledgeable about all things London. I definitely recommend this tour.
Jon was excellent and provided us a one of a kind experience! Seeing the city at night brought it to life.
Brian our guide was perfect. He has great knowledge about every topic we brought up. Operator from Viator very responsive I talk a couple times with Florencia and she was very good.thanks to both of them
So glad we did this tour- even though it was freezing cold and at night, that made it even better to see the city’s beauty! Highly recommend this tour, and we learned so much from our amazing tour guide Brian. Thank you so much Brian for going out of your way to pick us up and accommodate us for this tour - we greatly appreciate it!!!
Excellent and practical tour. John Cox was our guide. Punctual and very attentive. He took us to the most iconic sites in London and took great photos with the best recommendation for his experience. I would recommend it blindly
Hat alles super geklappt. Wir wurden pünktlich abgeholt und hatten eine tolle Zeit mit Jon. Wir können die Tour empfehlen und würden sie immer wieder buchen. Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße nach London!
