Christmas Lights- great night out

We did this tour 3 years ago and loved it so much we wanted to repeat. Barry met us at Waterloo and took us to see different parts of London. We had a great evening, great balance between the history of London, fun facts and beautiful lights. Would absolutely recommend, this is a great way to see the lights and avoid the crowds. You get to relax in a very comfortable cab and we saw Hannah Waddington on New Bond Street!

Operator response

Hi Sally and family. Great to have you all again on a Christmas Lights Tour. Definitely got us all in the Festive mood together. And remember Hannah Waddington saw you !!! 🎄❤️
