Look up on your own

Not sure we received the bang for our buck. I looked up streets/lights decorations and where to go prior to this tour. We could have just used this information and experienced the same.

We are local Londoners and loved this tour!

Although we’ve lived in London for many, many years this tour was delightful. We saw some of the lesser known Christmas light displays and the route took us down some Harry Potter-esque atmospheric and windy, cobbled backstreets. Kathleen was full of interesting historical and fun facts about Christmas traditions and London dating back to the 1700’s. Even as ‘local’ Londoners we thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend it as a festive and fun activity.

Fabulous overview of 2025 lights

Our guide was Kathleen and she was knowledgeable, informative and good fun! Lots of interesting facts learnt about London and Christmas. A good overview of the London 2025 Christmas lights and even some suggestions on where to dine have a drink afterwards. We had a great time so thank you! Pete

Not to be missed

We came to experience Christmas in London and this tour delivered! The lights were incredible, and we learned so much about London history and neighborhoods along the way. Caroline was a great guide, skillful with the small group and the pacing of the tour. She was also generous in providing additional information, such as dinner recommendations near where the tour ended, and other insightful tips that helped guide the rest of our week in London. We highly recommend!

Magical Christmas Lights Tour

Caroline's Christmas walking tour was magical! We were so appreciative that she accommodated our schedule and gave us the tour after Christmas Day (the lights were still up). It was the perfect way to see the beautiful lights in many neighborhoods of London, and Caroline added thoughtful historical details and stories along the way. She could not have been more warm, friendly, and knowledgeable! Highly recommend this tour during the holiday season in London.

An experience not to be missed!

Totally recommend this tour. Our guide was Kathleen and her enthusiasm and story telling was brilliant. We were a small group which meant we also got to make new acquaintances. Although we’ve lived in London albeit years ago, Kathleen took us to places we would never have known about . The bits of history she shared with us was fascinating. A drink at a historical pub rounded off the evening nicely. Highly recommend doing this tour!

Great tour

What an enjoyable tour. Caroline is such a warm person, making me feel welcome and at ease with the other group members. The walk took us to places we’d never have found ourselves, We finished up in a Soho pub where she bought us a drink. Can’t recommend this tour highly enough.

Beautiful way to see the lights of London!

What a great way to kick off our visit to London. Our guide, Caroline, was an excellent communicator and was in close contact prior to the tour start. Although it was rainy, we still had an amazing tour and saw so many beautifully lit parts of the city. I would say this is a must do if you’re in London during the holiday season!
