TThe temperature was quite low, bus/wind made it difficult to hear the guide and its impossible to pause for nighttime photography.
The bus didn’t leave to almost 9:20pm after having tickets for 8:30pm. It drove a little too quick to get pictures of the main attractions. If the bus was stopped because of the red light then it was the only time to grab a picture if you were in a great place. Even thought my son and I walked the London we wanted to see it at night. I wasn’t impressed with London by night.
We leave the bus station at 8pm because of traffic jam. But was very well narrated and amenic. Love the tour guide jokes

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the night tour and found the guide great. We also appreciate your comments on the bus and pickup location. EvanEvansTour Team
The bus was filthy and smelled of urine. The description of this tour was misleading. You’re not allowed to get close to Buckingham Palace in a bus so you don’t actually see it. The host was in inappropriate, obnoxious, and vulgar. Please do not waste your money on this. There are many other tour companies that will do what you are promised. I left this tour very disappointed. The tour was so bad that I wanted to leave halfway through the bus ride because the tour guide was rude and not informative. I purposely sat upstairs where I could feel the cool wind because the bus smelled so bad.

We sincerely apologize for the condition and unpleasant smell of the bus. A clean, comfortable environment is an important part of the experience we aim to provide, and your comments will be shared with our operations team for review.
