Lights and holiday magic - It was a good why to see how parts of the city celebrates the holidays. Santa’s little helper and the other team members were friendly and great. It’s a good way to see some festive spots and neighborhoods.

Holiday fun! - We had a great time riding around through the city in a very cutely decorated trolley. We sent Christmas carols stopped at a few places to look at lights and drove by City Hall and some other places. So much fun!

Amazing - Miracle on 13th St was amazing. The driver had some mad skills navigating the very tight streets. Had a blast.

What an awesome time !! - My mom & aunt wanted to visit Philly and do some Christmas sightseeing, so I signed us up for this, expecting just a tour of these light displays. This experience absolutely exceeded my expectations and we had so much fun!!! The tour guide Nathan was so entertaining and funny with his holiday trivia and caroling. We shared the trolley with about 20 other people and everyone was having a blast. I like how each stop was unique and increasingly got more exciting. I truly recommend this if you are looking g for a Christmassy thing to do in Philly! 10/10 would do this again.

A Holiday Experience - Good experience and the guide makes it fun but unfortunately they had to drop a stop on the tour due to a parade which was disappointing A substitution should have been made

Mixed feelings - Let me start by saying our driver and our guide were GREAT! The driver was safe, and the guide made the ride fun with trivia questions, and singing. However, there are 7 stops listed on the itinerary. Our trolly went to 2 stops. The tour lasted just over 1 hour. Not the two hours it states to get you to book. This was NOT worth the money that was paid for the tour. Would look at doing one with another company next time.

Do not waste your money! Disappointing at best. - Do not waste your money! Disappointing at best. We had a 7:45 time slot for the Christmas light tour, but it felt rushed and unorganized for the price. Much of the ride was spent going down Broad Street multiple times with very few lights to see. The highlight was stopping at Miracle on 13th Street. Unfortunately, Franklin Square was saved for the end, and since it was closing soon, we couldn’t get off. The music also took away from the experience, as rap music was allowed even though many people were asking for Christmas music. The people we met and the two workers were very nice, but overall the tour was disappointing.

Zero stars TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE never will ever recommend - TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! And they responded to my Google review which was INCORRECT and RUDE. Saying “sorry you have issues reading” first of all I’ve bought so many tours and have read all the descriptions and had a wonderful time. YOU GUYS ARE RUDE SCAMMERS I’m done talking about them I took 4 other tours that were amazing but this one I will NEVER EVERRRRR RECOMMEND and even though it’s my birthday I’m choosing to erase these scammers from my memory and it looks like I won’t get my refund. I wish I could give them ZERO STARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
