Itinerary
Join a tour of the Sights and Sounds of London on Christmas Day. Sit back and enjoy the ambience of London whilst your guide provides an interesting, informed commentary, bringing alive the history and traditions of this great city. The tour will start at Bus Stop 1, Bulleid Way, Victoria, London, SW1W 9SH where you will meet your guide at 1:45pm for 2:00pm departure.
Pass by: An essential addition to any visit to London and set in the heart of the city, Westminster Abbey is legendary and iconic. Boasting a rich history that spans over one thousand years, the site was originally occupied by Benedictine monks in the middle of the tenth century. The current gothic masterpiece has stood there for about 700 years. The imperious gothic master work is truly breathtaking and the intricate stained glass is some of the most beautiful in the UK.
Pass by: The Elizabeth Tower, also known as “Big Ben“, dates from 1858 and had its 150th anniversary in 2009. It is one of the most iconic symbols of the UK and a must see attraction in London. Big Ben is famous in the world for its accuracy and for its massive bell.
Pass by: Located in the City of Westminster, Trafalgar Square is one of the most important and bustling squares in London. It takes its name after the Battle of Trafalgar from 1805, and it was built to memorialise Lord Horatio Nelson's victory.
Pass by: The Tower of London, founded by William the Conqueror in 1066-7, is one of the world’s most famous fortresses yet despite its grim reputation as a place of torture and death, there are so many more stories to be told. The ancient stones reverberate with dark secrets, priceless jewels glint in fortified vaults and ravens strut the grounds.
Pass by: A cathedral dedicated to St Paul has stood in the highest point of the City of London for over 1,400 years. The current Cathedral (the fourth to occupy this location) was designed by celebrated architect Christopher Wren and is widely considered to be his greatest masterpiece. Completed in 1708, this cross-shaped building has been the backdrop to many key moments in British history and is an essential part of the London skyline thanks to its magnificent dome.

Christmas Night: Sights and Sounds of London
This was a great way to see the popular landmarks and learn about London’s history. Seeing the Christmas lights on Christmas night made this tour special. Zaozao, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and our bus driver Ian was amazing to get us through all the traffic. Thank you for creating a Christmas memory we won’t forget.
meh. There must be a better tour you could do.
I hate to be a humbug, but my seat on the bus was broken and there were no empty seats to switch to. When I got off the bus, I saw another broken seat. Tour was ok- could have been an hour and a half instead of 3. Tour guide had an annoying habit of taking really long pauses mid sentence. It was hard to listen to. He really seemed to enjoy the sound of his own voice. He even answered his cell phone mid tour! And left his microphone on!! Not the best tour. Not the worst. But I wouldn't book it again if I had to do it over. The driver did a good job.
Very nice trip and the...
