We arrived on time and waited for the tour guide to show up as stated on the brochure (your tour guide will be holding a sign) did not do. We overheard someone talking that the bus was here and we followed them. We rode on a bus for two hours watching clips of the movies that were filmed at certain locations. I thought we would actually stop at these sites. We did get to see the window displays of the major department stores. I was not impressed and would not recommend it. You can't really do a tour in a city that is crowded with people and traffic. It was a family trip; however our children were not teens.

Really a dark bus ride through the city with very little holiday lights. The bus itself was very smelly inside, do not think the tank was cleaned and smelled like an out house. We saw 3 sets of store displays and only 1 had a holiday theme. This tour was basically watching clips of holiday movies filmed in NYC - we really were unable to see any sites in the dark. Only place with lights we saw was driving through Rockefeller Center. Tour guide was nice but seemed very unexperienced. We were all extremely bored and disappointed in this tour unfortunately.

Never having been in NYC at Christmas, the Holiday Lights Tour was the perfect way to see the city. The store windows were amazing and the film clips for each site on the tour were well chosen. The best part was our charming tour guide Jason, who provided expert commentary throughout as well as many tips on other fun things to see and do while I was in town. Thanks On Location Tours!
