This experience was amazing it would have been a shame to miss out on it during the walks - It was very beautiful and I discovered the history of London in 1 hour and the audio player was very good and a good translation

December 2014 - Night tour in bar bus ... this is a wonderful way to end 2024. Sophia and Thomas are there to set the mood and they are caring.

Really fun, helpful and accommodating - We had a brilliant time on the Christmas Lights Tour tonight! Our driver, Micheal, handled the busy roads really well and our tour guide, Peter, was knowledgeable and funny. Our very busy trip into London meant that we missed our tour but the reps at the stop were incredibly helpful and turned our night around. Our heartfelt thanks to both of them.

Beautiful experience - My 9 year old daughter and I loved it! The Santa hats were a nice touch, and the guide was very informative and provided lots of interesting facts about the lights and local landmarks. Only slight downside is the busy area you need to get the bus from, but then we were there on the last weekend before Christmas so was to be expected.

Rip off - Oh how I hate being ripped off, especially in my own country. Christmas bus tours should be better than this at a whopping 30 pound per head. There's 140 pounds I will never see again for literally a 2 pound bus ride. Please see other companies and make sure the route is better! The highlight was only the angels through the streets, didn't see fortnum and mason building nor any interesting buildings with lights for that matter! Save your money, do not use tootbus. I will never use this company again, a complete scam! Further to this, we couldn't get a seat upstairs with any view as we were at the front which had a roof on top (see pictures). The ladies in the queue kept selling more and more tickets, letting people on, not keeping track of how many. Then there was a big argument up top about who should be up there. I felt bad for Pete, our tour guide, who faced the wrath of an angry crowd when in fact it is the company's fault. This ruined a really nice Christmas day out with my family, it was the worst thing I have ever done in the past 5 years. Please do not, I repeat, DO NOT USE THIS BUS TOUR!!!! For the sake of your sanity and wallet.

Overpriced waste of time - Felt like we paid a lot of money to sit in traffic for way too long. Many roads were closed due to pedestrian traffic out and about. Can’t be the first time this occurred and no information was provided that the route could be potentially affected. Overpriced waste of time basically.
