Highly recommend
Bryan is Very knowledgeable of all kinds of London history. We went to many unexpected places that we didn’t think we will see in the time we spent here. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Hi Charly and Rebecca. Happy New Year to you both. A great way to start the New Year for me reading your review. It was a pleasure to meet you both and take you out on a walking and driving tour. We really did maximise on our time together seeing and learning a lot. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour and look forward to seeing you and your friends one day soon. Best regards Bryan.

A night to remember
Synopsis - book a tour with Bryan you won’t regret it. From the moment we booked our tour the communication was excellent and we knew we were in safe hands. The tour itself did not disappoint. Bryan adapted the tour to incorporate elements from his rock and roll tour so we ended up with the best of both worlds. We saw and learned more in few hours than I thought could be possible. In the end the tour exceeded all expectations. We had a mixed family group of different generations and walking abilities. Bryan carefully and safely guided us through busy pre-Christmas crowds to ensure we saw the sights that would give us the memories to look back on in years to come. Well worth it.
Response from the operator: Hi Ewen, Sharon, Esther and Lindsay. I would like to say it was a pleasure to meet you and I enjoyed guiding and sharing my knowledge with you. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour. We managed to see many sites including historical points in Carnaby Street, Mayfair and St.James's. The weather was cold but lovely and dry and the traffic was fairly light. I would like to thank-you for taking the time to write such a detailed review and really appreciate it. Hope to see you and your friends one day soon. Best regards Bryan.

Visiting London with family of six 1st time.
Great way to see London and get so much information for a wonderful trip. Staff at London Site Seeing Tours were great! They gave us many tips to enhance our trip and went above and beyond to give our family lots of information. Family had a blast and took plenty of photos in great locations. I would highly recommend it for any group. Thanks again to the staff that made the tour a memorable experience.
Response from the operator: Hi Edwin. Thank-you for a wonderful review. I am so glad you enjoyed the whole experience. This is a great way to see and feel the vibe of London in an iconic London black taxi with a glass roof for panoramic views. The Christmas Lights this year are looking great. Morris said it was a real pleasure touring you and the family. Wishing you and your family Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Best regards Bryan, Morris and all the team at London Sightseeing Tours.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
London Exclusive Christmas Lights Guided Tour by Black Cab: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does London Exclusive Christmas Lights Guided Tour by Black Cab cost?
+
Prices start at $460 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 Exclusive Christmas Lights Guided Tour by Black Cab take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Exclusive Christmas Lights Guided Tour by Black Cab worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 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 Exclusive Christmas Lights Guided Tour by Black Cab?
+
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 Exclusive Christmas Lights Guided Tour by Black Cab suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book London Exclusive Christmas Lights Guided Tour by Black Cab?
+
Around 5 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does London Exclusive Christmas Lights Guided Tour by Black Cab 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.
