See London’s Christmas lights from a Tootbus double-decker, with live English commentary, 10-language audio, Wi-Fi, and walking tours.

“Not great if you don't speak English. We are bothered by the noise the guide makes with his microphone and we can't hear the audio through the headphones which barely work. We also spend more time in traffic jams and are stuck in place for an hour, in short I don't recommend it.”
