Lord Harvey the Christmas Tour Guide is the Best - We took our tour with Lord Harvey. He was fantastic! Filled with the Christmas spirit literally from the moment he checked us in until the moment he dropped us off. I’ve never seen someone put so much effort into a tour. He was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, punctual, flexible, and festive. It was like being toured around by Buddy the Elf. The park was great. Lots of fun light sculptures. Recommend for young children

Great way to see the... - Great way to see the holiday lights without worrying about traffic! There was more than enough time to see the sights in Santa’s Village - one hour instead of an hour and a half would have been ideal.

That’s a lot-o-lights - There is another company that offers the adventure also. Don’t book the adventure with both companies. Our host was very accommodating, historically informative, personable, cute, and just a delight to ride with.

Holiday Cheer - The only thing I would change is the time spent at tge venue. 90 mins was too long. 60 mins would be plenty.

Great time, short time - Great time but ended an hour earlier than posted so we had over paid for parking. Parking should be included with the tickets.
