Description
See London dressed for Christmas
Pull on your warmest coat and take your seat upstairs. On this nonstop Christmas lights bus tour operated by The Original Tour, the West End puts on its festive show: the angels above Regent Street, the glow of Oxford Street and the Christmas tree at Trafalgar Square. A live English-speaking guide shares the stories behind the city as the lights pass by. Multilingual audio commentary is also available.
Make a day of it before the evening bus tour. Your ticket includes a daytime hop-on hop-off Thames cruise operated by City Cruises. Board at Westminster, London Eye, Tower or Greenwich Pier and see another side of London from the water. Six self-guided walks in the Pop in app give you more neighbourhoods to explore on foot. The cruise and walks are separate from the nonstop bus tour, take the cruise before your booked Christmas lights departure.
