Itinerary
The London Eye stands out beautifully at night, its illuminated wheel reflecting over the Thames and creating one of the city’s most iconic evening views.
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.

There was so much to see and the Tour Guide was very knowledgeable and it was funny watching him laugh at his own jokes, but as everything was so close to each other (we realise it’s unavoidable so not a complaint) we felt like we had whiplash turning left then right then left then right.
Fantastic tour at night. Beautiful London sites and guide was very informative. Highly recommend!!
We did the day bus tour with Emma as our guide. She was absolutely wonderful! Loved her sense of humor and willingness to help point out areas of interest and how to get to places once the tour ended. She was full of life and knowledge and we learned so much about the city during our two hours with her! Would highly recommend!!

All was good, driver and tour guide were good, great sites to see. My only complaint is our 8pm was cancelled so we took the 7pm.
Very easy to download app, navigate to what I wanted, and purchase tickets. Information is clear.

It was a nice tour around all of London. We had just arrived so it was helpful to see the sights and where everything was located. The guide was very good and pointed everything out. If I were to do it again, I would have gone a little later so that we would have seen everything at night.

It is wonderful to know that our guide’s commentary made the experience even more enjoyable. We hope to welcome you back for another Golden Tours adventure, perhaps for a magical evening view of London by night.
An easy way to see the highlights without battling as much traffic. We enjoyed the tour, but did think the hop-on-hop-off option would have made more sense in the long run since it covers the same areas and we could have opted for a more convenient starting and ending spot to get back to our hotel.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the London by Night Sightseeing Tour and found it a convenient way to see many of the city’s highlights. We appreciate your comments regarding the hop on hop off option and understand that flexibility with start and end points can be important.

It’s a fine tour with a recorded introduction to the city. There are lots of ways/times to get on and off the bus. But it lacks character and is expensive for what it is. It was also hard to find.
