About this tour

See London sparkle for the holidays from two memorable vantage points. This London Christmas Lights Bus Tour pairs a festive ride through the city with a 1-day hop-on hop-off ticket for Uber Boat by Thames Clippers.

Board the City Sightseeing bus at its fixed time slot and take in the seasonal glow along Regent Street and Piccadilly Circus. Audio guide commentary accompanies the bus tour, while a live English-language guide brings the 90-minute experience to life.

The bus departs from stop 22 in Haymarket, near the Theatre Royal. Hotel transfers, food, drinks, and attraction entry are not included, so plan those separately. Make room for London’s festive lights and river scenery with this London Christmas Lights Bus Tour and Thames boat ticket.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
