A great experience and perfect end to our xmas shopping trip in London - A fantastic tour, we took one of the first tours on this original London routemaster bus,what a treat and great value for money for what you get. The bus looked awesome, beautifully decorated, and very festive as it pulled up to the stop. The guides we helpful, charming, attentive, and professional. lovely touches like the aprons and the menu cards with a wonderful tea selection. We were expecting just a few bites sized food. We were blown away by the amount of delicious festive food which included cupcakes, chocolate igloo (i had to take it home i was so stuffed), stollen bites, tortilla chips, two Brioche buns egg mayo and a festive turkey slider both tasted great, the lights looked great and we took lots of photos as we had the front seats. All in all a great evening experience and the kids will love it. It is a good way to end a day xmas shopping,

Best Lights Tour on the planet😃 - This tour was top class in all respects. We felt pampered from beginning to end. Our guide’s commentary was interesting, and amusing, food excellent, comfort and views couldn’t fault. We were bowled over by the standard of this experience and will definitely go again.

The festive light bites route - A great way to see the highlights in a 90 minute tour of the London lights accompanied by light festive bites of food and hot and cold soft drinks. The Christmas music made it feel festive and the enclosed roof ensured it was warm and comfortable.

Lights and bus great! - The staff and the bus were great! A good way to see London Christmas lights! Hot drinks were good. Unfortunately there was not enough food and it was not good.
