Trish_M, Dec 2023
We only saw one place that had Christmas lights- very disappointed. It was on my birthday also😢 it was one of the tours that I was looking so forward to

As a customer service gesture, I called the customer, and gave her a full refund. The customer described an unusual set of circumstances, which is not typical for this tour. It is our goal to deliver the best experience possible. We never want to disappoint one of our guests. Thank you Trish, for taking the time to explain your situation. Your feedback always helps us to make the necessary changes. Thanks again, Bill

Great time in the cold weather
Monika_F, Dec 2019
I went with my mother on the tour, who was visiting from overseas. We had a wonderful time, lot of information and very nice lights to see. We actually caught the lightning of the Civic Center right on time. Great tour and very much worth the money.
