Description

During your London Christmas Lights tour, we will see the Capital's Christmas Lights ranging from the famous lights of Oxford Street and Regent Street to some lesser-known lights in Mayfair, Covent Garden, Marylebone and Kensington. You will be transported around in an iconic 'London Black Cab' but not just any cab, the new TXE ZEC Taxi, with a glass panoramic roof, giving even more opportunity to see the amazing spectacle of London at night and especially Christmas. Not only will you see the beautiful lights and soak up the magic that is London at Christmas, but I will also endeavour to give you a bit of background into the history of the areas how the streets got their names etc. We will also have plenty of opportunities to stop, stretch those legs and get those all important photos.

Thank you Paul for a delightful evening and experience. You made it special.

Paul was very personable, entertaining and the best we could have experienced. This tour was educational, informative and entertaining. No question it’s one of best tours me and my wife have taken. Forget the money, it was an experience.

Magical Christmas Lights Tour

Our driver Paul was amazing, knew the best places in London to stop for Christmas lights. Super friendly and accommodated all of our bespoke requests / stops. He also shared his knowledge of sites visited (and more!) which made the evening even more interesting and enjoyable. The whole party of 5 adults truly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend to anyone considering the tour.

A lovey evening in London!

Thank you to our amazing driver Paul! My husband and I took the Christmas Lights tour on our first night in London and truly enjoyed the experience. I would definitely recommend taking any tour with Paul--he possesses a wealth of knowledge about the cities, government, and architecture.

Operator response

Hi Tracy, thank you for your kind words, I hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in London

Magically beautiful!

Where do I start! Thank you so much Paul for the most amazing tour of London. With the streets being so busy this time of year, driving around in a traditional black-cab, decorated with tinsel and fairly lights, with the bonus of a large roof-window meant we could enjoy the beauty of London at our own pace AND see the lights from a different perspective. Absolutely perfect! We brought prosecco and snacks for the ride, and it was just wonderful. I was really worried about the levels of traffic, as sometimes get a little travel sick - but I didn't notice it once! There was always something to see. Paul is a fantastic host - he shared his amazing knowledge of the city and some fun facts along the way - he also had us in stitches with his stories! Thank you again Paul - can't wait to be reunited next year! x

Chloe, it was my pleasure, so glad you had a great time, hope you had a great Christmas and wish you a healthy and prosperous new year!

For that extra Xmas spirit.

The tour was simply excellent. We went all round London. Saw all the xmas trees and lights and Paul was really knowledgable. His cab was all festive and we got totally into the Christmas spirit. Well worth it!

Best Way to See the Christmas Lights in London

I splurged on a private Christmas Lights and Sights tour my first evening in London. My driver, Graham, texted me the day before the tour to verify my hotel location, and again when he arrived at the hotel. When he found out we shared an interest in history, he not only shared all the lights with me, he regaled me with stories about events at many of the locations we saw. He stopped several times to let me get out of the cab and take photos. What a great way to start my visit to London! A wonderful evening seeing the beautiful lights and chatting like I was with a long-time and treasured friend. I can't recommend this tour highly enough!
