Good to see some great sights at dusk - Good experience, got a few great nuggets of information ( found out Houses of Parliament are available for tours while they are in recess). Got to see some great spots from the top of the bus.

Fantastic experience - This was a really fun way to see the city without a lot of traffic! We took the 8pm bus and saw daytime turn to dusk to night, was the perfect time. A great way to begin or end your trip to London.

Just okay - I thought the tour was ok. It was nice to see the city, but bus has to keep up with traffic- so may go fast and you don’t get to take in some of the sights well. Tour guide made a lot of older pop culture references - it would be better with someone who was up-to-date with better current culture. Historical information was great though.

Great seeing London by night - Was a little disappointed after reading all the great reviews. We had an American guide who was okay, her sense of her humor was a little bit dry and she gave very basic facts on the landmarks. Therefore a lot of silent moments. It was great seeing London at night with the lights but I was glad when it finished.

Boring - Worst tour we’ve taken anywhere with Viator. First time we’ve looked at each other and said, “we still have an hour to go”. Bored stiff. The guide was annoying. First off, it looked like she hadn’t washed her hair in a week. Second, her jokes were not funny. Third, we think she is an American transplant. Her English accent would fade in and out. Fourth, her commentary was basically pointing out things. No history. No stories. For example she would say, on your right is Big Ben. Then quiet. It was a beautiful drive but no so beautiful as to get it out of 1 Star status.
