Disappointing and Overpriced Christmas Day Tou
We booked this tour for Christmas Day 2025, and unfortunately, it was a poor experience that we would not recommend. The itinerary included attending a mass, having lunch at a Holiday Inn, a brief 20 minute stop, no stop in Greenwich, and then returning to London. The majority of the day was spent on the bus. While the idea of a Christmas Day tour sounded appealing, the execution fell short. The tour was significantly overpriced for what was provided. In reality, we paid for an expensive bus ride and a basic lunch at a franchise hotel. The description did not disclose that the Christmas lunch would be at a Holiday Inn, which felt misleading. The tour guide had never visited the sites before and offered very limited knowledge, which further reduced the value of the experience. The pace was slow, and aside from the mass and lunch, there was little to do. In hindsight, we would have saved the money and stayed in London instead. If you’re considering this tour, exercise caution. Research thoroughly and confirm details with the company before booking. For us, it was not worth the cost or the time.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the itinerary, the value for money, and the lunch venue. We have noted your points and will use them to help improve our future offerings. Thank you again for your feedback.

Wonderful experience

Horrible service
Extremely disappointing experience. They advertise “free cancellation” on their website, but when you actually request it, they ignore calls and messages and never process the cancellation or refund. We tried calling many times and even sent WhatsApp messages, but received no support at all. They take your money and provide no service. Very unprofessional and unacceptable. Avoid this company and do not book any tours with them. Thank you,

Why this scores 44
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Christmas in Canterbury, Dover and Greenwich with Christmas Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Christmas in Canterbury, Dover and Greenwich with Christmas Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $194 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Christmas in Canterbury, Dover and Greenwich with Christmas Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Christmas in Canterbury, Dover and Greenwich with Christmas Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Christmas in Canterbury, Dover and Greenwich with Christmas Lunch?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Christmas in Canterbury, Dover and Greenwich with Christmas Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Christmas in Canterbury, Dover and Greenwich with Christmas Lunch?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Christmas in Canterbury, Dover and Greenwich with Christmas Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
