We met in front of an incredible bakery everything was Christmas. Incredible gingerbread cookies. Bonnie was a super tour guide. She told us about the history and navigated us throw to 100's of incredible homes and decorations. I have never seen a whole town turn in Christmas land. It was something very special. It was even more special to actually get to see some of the home owner still putting up deco. Real experience an we even got to talk to one as he first turned on the lights for the season. I totally recommend.

The tour guide never showed up. We waited over an hour and they never showed. Instructions were clear, tour time at 6pm, be there 15 minutes before. We were at the meeting spot over 30 minutes before and waited until 6:30pm. Waist of time and money. We had a Lyft take us to the spot, spent almost $200 just to get there for nothing.
