Here's What Some of Our Past Tour Participants Have to Say ...
"My two daughters and I were so happy we took the Holiday Lights tour with Chris Lucas. He is such a character. What fun we had! Loved his different hats, funny stories and interesting history he gave us. There were only 20 of us on the bus, which made it more personal and fun. We would have never seen all the city holiday lights he showed us by ourselves. We loved Grand Central Station and the light show and of course the whispering wall. Chris is great! We loved the tour!"

"I recently went on the city lights tour led by Chris Lucas. I have nothing but good things to say about this tour. The locations were perfect and Chris gave awesome details and wore hilarious hats!!! I especially enjoyed the stop at Tavern on the Green! Honestly, I would absolutely encourage my friends to take this tour..and Chris deserves a real shout out for doing a great job! Thanks,"

"This is just a quick email to let you know that when we came to New York from British Columbia for our holiday this was one thing we booked online as a must see/must do event. The sad thing is the tree was not lit but Chris was an excellent tour guide including several other stops to make up for the lack of tree this year.
He was a very good tour guide making it a wonderful Christmas experience that I will highly recommend to those I know coming for the holidays.
I had a very positive experience, I found Chris very charismatic and funny making it feel like he was a friend showing you around his city, using little stories and history of the city to make you feel welcomed.
A very special thank you to Chris and his company for making this a very Merry holiday trip! "
