London Christmas Lights Bike Tour with Local Guide

8.London Christmas Lights Bike Tour with Local Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 67 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $62

See London's Christmas lights by bike, from Harrods to Southbank, with a local guide, Santa hat, and small-group ride.

“Take the tour before you see the sights. Our mistake was that we took the tour after we had been to many places, so we hadn't seen too many new things however riding the bike around town was fun. Because of the amount of traffic in the West End at night at Christmas, it can be a little tricky getting around, but the guide is skilled in keeping the group together and getting in and out of traffic. The guides were fun and it was a good time.”
