Meh.....

It was an OK tour. If you have ever been to NYC at Christmas, then going to DC is going to be a bit disappointing. And that is probably my issue with this tour. It was nice and they did take us to all the places in the city that were decorated. It just wasnt alot of Christmas cheer like you expect and the stops at each place were short lived. Our guide seemed a bit fixated on racial/political issues during his narration which kind of ruined it for me. I think without that I could give it a 4, but I probably wouldnt do this tour again.

Enjoyable!

My family of three adults very much enjoyed this nighttime tour. It was a nice evening event to see the holiday lights.

2025 Christmas Lights Wonderland

Our tour provided us, with each stop, to leave the tour bus and enjoy up close all the wonderful Christmas light arrangements. Including taking pictures of it all! A total pleasure!
