Christmas Lights Tour Reviews:

Lynn and Bahram (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was a wonderful walk through the London streets on a very cold but dry evening. Hazel was very knowledgeable and entertaining and informed us of how local businesses are being encouraged to light up their shop fronts, to make the area more attractive. There were lights everywhere, above, in front, to the side, in trees, on buildings, in the sky above, all different shapes, sizes and colours, too many to describe - you see so much more on foot than you would by driving or being on the bus. Hazel also pointed out the best places to take a photo from. If you get a chance do go and book this walk, you won't be disappointed."

Louisa (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "We were on this walk when the recent snowfall started! This added an extra special element to this walk. Hazel showed us some of the lesser known but equally lovely lights and history relating to the location or lights. A lovely walk, very much enjoyed."

Amy (5/5) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Love these London walks! The guides are so knowledgeable, and ours today was no exception. The crowds looking at London lights felt oppressive, but the walk was still beautiful and interesting. I learned some new things about London that I hadn't known before. Highly recommend!"
