    Not the advertised route and finished early.

    did the London by night bus tour, having done this before. It did not follow the advertised route. We did not cross a bridge, and we did not see The London Eye and the Shard, also other attractions like St Paul's Cathedral. We did the same loop down Whitehall twice. We were stationary at bus stops for 10 minutes at a time, and the tour ended 10 minutes early. I rang Tootbus and complained and Anna gave me free hop on hop off tickets and a river cruise for the following day which was good. I feel sorry though for the American family who were leaving London the following day, they lost out. Poor experience.

    Great Nightime Tour

    It was perfect! Did this with my husband in November and it was great! Viewing the sites at night is a truly different but amazing experience. The bus left promptly on time and was able 1.5hrs. Listened to the commentary and learnt a lot about the British culture. Would definitely recommend! If doing this tour during the cold season be sure to have a hat and scarf if sitting on the top level. It does get a little chilly.

    Response from the operator: We are delighted that you enjoyed the Tour. We really appreciate all customer feedback and will use it to continue improving our service. Tootbus London Team

    London night

    The audio connection and provided info was very poor. We didn’t get any info. It was not satisfactory at all.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review. I'm sorry to hear that your experience was not entirely positive. We really do appreciate all customer feedback and will use it to continue improving our service for the future. Tootbus London Team

    London by Night - Tootbus Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does London by Night - Tootbus Sightseeing Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $47 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 London by Night - Tootbus Sightseeing Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 London by Night - Tootbus Sightseeing Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.2/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule London by Night - Tootbus Sightseeing Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is London by Night - Tootbus Sightseeing Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book London by Night - Tootbus Sightseeing Tour?

    +

    Around 20 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does London by Night - Tootbus Sightseeing Tour 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 The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. 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.

    What is included in London by Night - Tootbus Sightseeing Tour?
