Ms. Rachel, the friendly night tour guide, was gracious and accommodating during our winter night tour. We enjoyed her detailed narrative of the points of interest. We recommend Rachel’s tour.
Rachel and Juan did an excellent job on this tour. Rachel is very knowledgeable about NY. Even though I have been to NY several times, she took us to places I have never seen and explained these places. If I ever get back to NY I would do another tour with Rachel. She and Juan are a great asset to Viator.
This Christmas lights tour of New York City was absolutely magical and one of the best ways to experience the city at night during the holidays. Visiting Grand Central Station, Wall Street and other sites instantly put us in the Christmas spirit. From the glass roof bus, we could experience the lights and sights of the Chrysler Bldg, Trinity Church and the Ghostbusters Headquarters (from the movie) and many, many more. Traveling through the city at night and taking in so many beautifully lit landmarks made the experience feel special and festive. Everything was well organized, relaxed, and thoughtfully planned, allowing us to truly enjoy the sights without feeling rushed. This tour is a wonderful mix of holiday charm and iconic New York scenery, and it’s perfect for visitors or locals looking to see the city shine during Christmas. Highly recommended for a memorable and festive night out. 🎄✨
We looked forward to this tour during our visit to NYC. It was titled Holiday Lights, however our guide focused mainly on the sites of New York. Informative and interesting however somewhat disappointing on the holiday lights. We did see the NYSE tree and the Rockefeller Center tree but it felt like we missed out on other iconic holiday displays, such as Saks and Macy’s windows, etc. One stop was to a pizza shop for a slice of NY-style pizza. One would think it was included with the cost of this tour, however, it was not. One thing that really bothered me was that we did not get dropped off where we got picked up as the description said. This would be a great general tour to see the sites of NY but a bit of a let down for a holiday lights tour.
This is not a Holiday lights tour. For 89$ per head we saw about 3 actual holiday lights- rest of the tour was architecture and buildings/ hospitals of the city. Save your $$ just do the hop on off tour- cheaper- multiple routes trips option plus u can use those tickets for the whole day! Guide and driver efforts are appreciated though.
Locations were good. Your quite had very poor communication skills, was limited on the info that was provided.
Great Tour!! Well planned and coordinated. Guide shared lots of interesting information about the history of NYC. And plenty of opportunities to get out and enjoy the sights. Well done!!
Great tour, many interesting and fun stops, and an excellent tour guide. Vehicle was clean and comfortable and complimentary water was provided.
Had an amazing time. The weather was a bit chilly but we we’re both covered up and were able to enjoy the experience without letting it bother us.
Excellent tour. Very knowledgeable guide and clean and comfortable van with many photo opportunities including food stops.
