First time in New York...

First time in New York City and we want to start out with Christmas lights! The whole team committee was welcoming! We learned about different facts about New York and we were able to visit them the next day. Our bus kept us warm on a windy night!! Thankful for the views and the lights!! The end of our trip we had a photo off!! We can't wait to do it again!! Thanks for the humor energy!!

Good tour

Great tour with our guide Jared. He gave us a good background on the tradition and interesting facts about the holidays. Be warned that 45 min of the tour is outside so dress appropriately.

Visit NYC

Everything seemed extremely easy up until we had to find where the bus was parked. But the explanation of the directions was very valuable because it told us exactly where to meet the bus and we were on the wrong side of the road. Once we saw the bus, it was very easy and the check-in process was very very quick.
