Magical Holiday Experience
On our first evening in London, Simon greeted us in his festively decorated taxi, setting the perfect mood for a holiday adventure. As we toured the city’s dazzling Christmas light displays, Simon’s insightful and entertaining commentary made the three hour tour go by quickly. He even went the extra mile by finding local coffee shop to help us shake off our jet lag. Simon’s professionalism, warmth, and deep knowledge of London made the experience exceptional. If you’re looking for a memorable, personalized tour, I can’t recommend Simon enough!

Just Book It!
Highlight of our vacation to London. Our tour guide Simon was fantastic. Completely a boutique private tour, and Simon will tailor the tour perfectly to your interests. He knows all the great spots for the best social media pictures!

Outstanding
Highlight of our London vacation. We booked the Christmas lights tour, and our guide Simon tailored it perfectly to suit our family. Simon covers a lot of ground in a few hours. We hit the Beatles highlights, Notting Hill, movie filming locations, celebrity homes, interesting bars and hotels, and all the Christmas highlights. Simon knows all the best instagrammable spots, and is a great photographer. After the tour, he sent us over 50 photos he took of our family. We’d rate this tour 10 stars if we could.

Amazing Christmas Light tour!
What another amazing tour! We did this last year and loved it so much, we booked again! Simon was very accommodating and as he was already booked, he arranged for us to have the same driver as last year, John. John was outstanding with his knowledge and knowing all the little tips to enable us to get the best view of the stunning lights. He even had a back up plan when Regent Street was pedestrianised and we were able to see some great sights. Fantastic company, genuinely great people and a thoroughly great time had by all. Would 100% recommend

Great Evening for Holiday Spirit
What a wonderful evening spent with Simon in his warm taxi, complete with Christmas Lights. We enjoyed learning about London as we drove from light display to light display. He stops and you cab get out for photos. We enjoyed this so much we have come back to do it again. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
London Christmas Lights Private Guided Taxi Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does London Christmas Lights Private Guided Taxi Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $305 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 Christmas Lights Private Guided Taxi Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Christmas Lights Private Guided Taxi Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 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 Christmas Lights Private Guided Taxi 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 Christmas Lights Private Guided Taxi Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book London Christmas Lights Private Guided Taxi Tour?
+
Around 9 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does London Christmas Lights Private Guided Taxi 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 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.
