Best way to see the Christmas lights! - This is my second tour with Paul and both have been excellent! Paul took the 3 of us around all the best Christmas lights of London. It was a cold and rainy night but we had a great time being warm and entertained by Paul. Thanks again for another great tour!

Thank you Paul for a delightful evening and experience. You made it special. - Paul was very personable, entertaining and the best we could have experienced. This tour was educational, informative and entertaining. No question it’s one of best tours me and my wife have taken. Forget the money, it was an experience.

Magical Christmas Lights Tour - Our driver Paul was amazing, knew the best places in London to stop for Christmas lights. Super friendly and accommodated all of our bespoke requests / stops. He also shared his knowledge of sites visited (and more!) which made the evening even more interesting and enjoyable. The whole party of 5 adults truly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend to anyone considering the tour.

A lovey evening in London! - Thank you to our amazing driver Paul! My husband and I took the Christmas Lights tour on our first night in London and truly enjoyed the experience. I would definitely recommend taking any tour with Paul--he possesses a wealth of knowledge about the cities, government, and architecture.

Magically beautiful! - Where do I start! Thank you so much Paul for the most amazing tour of London. With the streets being so busy this time of year, driving around in a traditional black-cab, decorated with tinsel and fairly lights, with the bonus of a large roof-window meant we could enjoy the beauty of London at our own pace AND see the lights from a different perspective. Absolutely perfect! We brought prosecco and snacks for the ride, and it was just wonderful. I was really worried about the levels of traffic, as sometimes get a little travel sick - but I didn't notice it once! There was always something to see. Paul is a fantastic host - he shared his amazing knowledge of the city and some fun facts along the way - he also had us in stitches with his stories! Thank you again Paul - can't wait to be reunited next year! x

Best Way to See the Christmas Lights in London - I splurged on a private Christmas Lights and Sights tour my first evening in London. My driver, Graham, texted me the day before the tour to verify my hotel location, and again when he arrived at the hotel. When he found out we shared an interest in history, he not only shared all the lights with me, he regaled me with stories about events at many of the locations we saw. He stopped several times to let me get out of the cab and take photos. What a great way to start my visit to London! A wonderful evening seeing the beautiful lights and chatting like I was with a long-time and treasured friend. I can't recommend this tour highly enough!

Amazing experience for the whole family - We booked the lights tour for 18th December 2021, and what an amazing experience it was. Not only did we get to see all the usual sights and lights, but also places we would never have known existed. In addition Graham was also very knowledgeable and we got an interesting history lesson along the way. I must say even my 2 children (10 & 12) were very engaged!! This was the perfect way to see the London lights, in an iconic black cab, and we will definitely be booking next year.

A Highlight of my Christmas in London - Graham is delightful! He not only showed me the lights, but he shared a lot of historical information about the many places we visited. This tour exceeded my expectations and I wish I could give it more than five stars.
