Review of London’s Christmas Lights Open-Top Bus Tour, with route details, guide tips, seating advice, price value, and who should book.
“Saturday night, very heavy traffic, buses running late because of that, and route diverted to completely different than advertised. Only thing that was as supposed to be, was the top deck seats. Hence 2 stars. We got to see few christmas lights from far away, but to say the truth you can see much more much better walking 10 minutes towards Mayfair from Leicester square tube. Really never worth £29 per person.”
