Itinerary
The tour will start at London Eye, Belvedere Road, Tourist bus stop, London, SE1 7GH (nearest tube station is Waterloo, 2 minute walk) where you will board an open top bus tour to see some of London’s most famous sights as dusk falls.
Buckingham Palace, the grand and iconic London residence of His Majesty the King is an absolute must-see on any visit to London. A fully working royal palace, housing not only the King, but serving as the administrative headquarters of the Royal Household.
The Tower of London, founded by William the Conqueror in 1066-7, is one of the world’s most famous fortresses yet despite its grim reputation as a place of torture and death, there are so many more stories to be told. The ancient stones reverberate with dark secrets, priceless jewels glint in fortified vaults and ravens strut the grounds.
An essential addition to any visit to London and set in the heart of the city, Westminster Abbey is legendary and iconic. Boasting a rich history that spans over one thousand years, the site was originally occupied by Benedictine monks in the middle of the tenth century. The current gothic masterpiece has stood there for about 700 years. The imperious gothic master work is truly breathtaking and the intricate stained glass is some of the most beautiful in the UK.
Also known as the Millennium Wheel, London Eye is one of the largest Ferris wheel in Europe and one of the most popular attractions in the UK. The iconic London Eye offers breathtaking views of London from high above the River Thames.
The Elizabeth Tower, also known as “Big Ben“, dates from 1858 and had its 150th anniversary in 2009. It is one of the most iconic symbols of the UK and a must see attraction in London. Big Ben is famous in the world for its accuracy and for its massive bell.

It was an amazing tour. We got to see so many sites! I wish I had gone to the sites before so I could just chill and learn more of the background. The tour guide gave an immense amount of knowledge and was engaging and pointed out each site as we passed. I definitely will go again when I visit London! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
The tour guide is very smart and knowledgeable. He was also entertaining, welcoming and humorous. The tour itself covers a good amount of historical stops. My only suggestion is that if there is a starting time, I don’t want to cut 30 mins of my vacation out to go and sit and wait on the bus. We arrived 10 mins prior to departure and every open air seat (a must in the evening in the hottest days on London record) was already taken. The entire bottom of the bus was available, but you can’t see from there and there was no AC. So, for those tourists who were willing to show up 20-30 mins early, this tour might work for them. We were just 2, any other higher number would have been impossible, I understand it’s difficult to assign seats when making the ticket purchase, but if you’re promoting this as London City Lights tour there is no value in sitting below or under the front roof.
Sitting on top was amazing despite a few sprinkles. It was a great way to see many locations and know where to go back later for more in depth exploring.
This was a fun and informative way to see the highlights of London!
The information given where to meet up at was false. We couldn’t find the bus. Missed the tour. We even spent money on an uber to get there.
I've taken many tours, but Emma stands out as truly exceptional. Her enthusiasm for London, combined with her deep local knowledge, transformed an evening bus tour into an engaging and memorable experience. She didn't just point out landmarks—she shared the heart and soul of the city. Emma's warmth, storytelling ability, and genuine passion made every moment enjoyable. If you're lucky enough to have Emma as your guide, you're in for something special. Also, seems recommended Nandos for dinner which was AMAZING
