Magical - Luke was our tour guide and we had a great time. We arrived 5 mins late and he waited for us. We walked around and he told us where he was going next just in case we got separated. I felt like he did a great job telling us about NYC history and weaving us in and out of the crowds. This tour made this experience so much fun and worth every penny. I would highly recommend this tour company and ask for Luke!!!!

Great tour to see the lights! - The Christmas light tour was a great way to learn about the origins of the holiday in NYC and give interesting historical context to the Christmas displays in the city. Our guide was funny and informative. 10/10 would recommend.

Holiday sites in NYC - Gabby was amazing! She was knowledgeable and loud ebbing to hear over the crowds. The only bad thing was not enough time at Bryant Park.

Good history tour - First I would like to totally refute anyone who says they couldn’t find the group. The directions are very clear and the guides even waited an extra 10 minutes for anyone who showed up late. Now for the tour-it wasn’t about holiday lights except for the display on Saks and the Rockefeller center tree. The tour was more about history than holiday lights. We found more holiday lights just walking on our own around midtown. So if you are interested in history and stopping for photos at Rockefeller center and shopping at Bryant Park, go for it. If you are interested in light displays go on your own.

Couldn’t find tour guide - If I could give a zero, I would. We didn’t even get to go on the tour because we could never locate the tour guide. Needs to be better organized and a better way to communicate with the tour guide…especially this time of year.
