Oliver Twist was a great host!
As noted in the ad, this tour is done on an open top vintage bus with a live guide. Our guide, David, was knowledgeable and personable. We drive quickly past all of the "classic" buildings in London, which are indeed beautiful at night. But to the extent this is billed as an opportunity to photograph classic London sites at night, that is simply not true. There are no stops, as the bus must keep up with traffic. Most of the views are above the heads of other guests. Only if you get lucky with the bus stopping for a traffic light in perfect position are there chances for decent pics. If you just want to see the sites at night and be entertaine, this tour is fine. But if you want nighttime pictures of sites like Big Ben, the London Eye, etc. this is not the tour for you.
Great tour. Live guide added a lot.
We had a great time. Everything was perfect. Enjoyed the live commentary and the silly jokes.
