It’s a beautiful and... - It’s a beautiful and magical tour and you really get into the Christmas spirit. However, beyond anyone’s control, the crowds were overwhelming! Our guide Rich, was outstanding, which made the tour fun and informative. So many stunning displays and so so so many people! Thanks Rich!

Getting the best from a busy schedule in a busy city! - Rich was a very competent guide, knowledgeable and humourous. He kept us all together on what must have been the busiest night in London so far, (Christmas Lights). I am a Londoner but was glad l took his tour as l might have given up trying to see everything, with all the crowds. Highly recommended

A MUST-DO: The Most Magical Christmas Experience in London with Rich! - If you are looking to see the absolute best of London's beautiful, breathtaking Christmas decorations, look no further—you have found your tour. The Rich Magical London Christmas Light Walking Tour was everything promised and more. From the moment we started, the atmosphere was infectious: warm, friendly, funny, and brimming with pre-Christmas joy. Our guide, Rich, is truly the star of the show. He didn't just walk us past lights; he masterfully curated a journey through the most amazing displays the city has to offer, sharing fascinating stories and insightful knowledge along the way. His energy and enthusiasm are unparalleled, making the entire experience feel like a lively walk with a knowledgeable friend rather than a formal tour. The decorations themselves were spectacular—from the iconic streets to charming, hidden corners, Rich showed us the most wonderful and photogenic spots. The combination of his engaging personality and the dazzling scenery created an unforgettable evening that left us feeling completely immersed in the festive spirit. This tour is highly recommended. It’s the perfect way to soak up the energy and beauty of a London Christmas!

London Christmas Lights Walk - We saw lots of the London Christmas Lights. Rich was an excellent guide. He even brought along some Christmas crackers and sweets. I would definitely recommend Rich if you want a 'free' London tour.

Christmas lights walk - Rich was such a great guide - enthusiast, knowledgeable and inclusive. The weather was atrocious for our walk and we were slightly disappointed with the lights - clearly neither of these were in Rich’s control!! Would still recommend the tour as a good way of seeing the major lights and also some unexpected ones. We would definitely book a different walk with Rich in the future.
