Save 20% on The Original Tour's Christmas Lights London Bus Tour + claim a FREE Thames sightseeing cruise. Use code: FESTIVELONDON

London winter illuminations are fast approaching, offering a chance to plan a holiday excursion above the ground rather than walking among street crowds. The Original Tour offers a 20 percent price cut on winter light excursion passes by applying the code FESTIVELONDON at checkout. Adult fares drop from £36 to £28.80, child passes reduce from £22 to £17.60, and infants under two join at no cost.

Riders board a double-decker vehicle and sit on the upper deck with a guaranteed spot. The route passes beneath the glowing golden angels on Regent Street, the canopy across Oxford Street, the storefronts of Bond Street, Piccadilly Circus, and the tree in Trafalgar Square. A live local guide accompanies the trip instead of a recorded track, sharing historical details and festive stories.

Extra freebies

Purchasing a holiday trip pass includes a complimentary daytime River Thames sightseeing journey. Visitors can view Big Ben and the London Eye from the water before taking the evening vehicle tour.
