Wonderful Light show with none of the Hassle - The grounds were spectacular. The convenence of using the Bus for both traveling to the grounds and touring through the grounds elliminated all the hassle of driving through the traffic.

So much fun! - The lights are so amazing! The traffic was crazy, but the tour made it stress free. My family loved the Holiday Village and train ride. If you have little ones, they will enjoy the carousel. We got there early enough to enjoy everything and beat the crowds.

Holiday Festival of Lights - Spectacular! - The lights were very impressive, over 2 million! There were many scenes, large and small. It kept our interest the entire time. We had an opportunity to get off the van and walk around the park, make a s’more (provided by the tour), take a train ride, or eat at their restaurant. The van driver gave us the history of the Festival of Lights, which we appreciated being from out of town. We talked to others on the van with us and they said they go every year…which we probably would if we lived in the area.

Park your vehicle and board the tour van for an enjoyable ride to the Festival of Lights. Tour van was clean and comfy - Lisa was great. Experience of getting to Festival of Lights and having to drive yourself was most enjoyable. Didn’t have to fight any traffic

Fewtive - It was really nice to see all the lights and the s’mores pit was a great treat. The only thing that would have made this more fun is if we had kids with us. Great driver too!

Pretty Lights Everywhere - We really enjoyed the beautiful lights! My only criticism was that all food options were sweets. Add hot dogs or grilled cheese for those who can’t have or don’t want sweets and you’ve got a perfect event!

Great lights. Mediocre experience. - No information on where to meet. Folks were wandering around the outside of the building. Some were late because they were on wrong side. Driver Alan thinks sarcasm is funny. Not! Too much time in the visitor center. No place to sit.

Poorly planned. But really nice driver. - Despite the pouring rain, we were left at the little marketplace for over an hour and a half. The activities there, two or three shops and a little sweet shop, could all have been done in less than 45 minutes. There was no way to reach the driver to perhaps leave early. And when I looked online, I could not find any phone number to reach the driver or even his company. It was all very frustrating, and with the rain, it wasn't even a particularly good way to see the lights. I was very disappointed.
