See Branson’s magical, electrical, celebration of the holidays like a VIP from one of our luxury coaches. Our lights tour is limited to 14 passengers, so you’ll get an upscale, personal, experience from our guide. Your itinerary includes riding through two of Branson’s most eye-popping lighting displays. We kick things off by driving to see the beautiful Chateau on the Lake, to see their awesome display of Gingerbread Houses, and their beautiful atrium lobby...with a stream that actually has fish in it! Wow! When time allows, we will include other local lights, such as the Historic Downing Street in Hollister, MO. After the first Sunday in December we will also be able to see the Historic Nativity scene on Mount Branson. Tour length depends on traffic in the drive thru displays. Typically this tour lasts approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes.

It was an awesome trip and we saw way more than any of us thought we would. Our driver guide was really good. We definitely had a great time on our trip.

Four of us were escorted to a very nice SUV and whisked away to Branson to see the amazing light displays. The great this about this tour is the fact, you can sit back in luxury and enjoy the lights instead of driving yourself and hearing everyone Oooo & Ahhh. The drivers are very professional and very friendly. If in Branson during the Christmas season, contact VIP for a tour and relax and enjoy.

Michael was funny and knowledgeable. He gave great tips about how to navigate the area and was also attentive to my mid-70s mom. The light choices were lovely and maximized to avoid traffic.

It was a good trip. We should have done an earlier trip because the length of drive between stops my kids fell asleep and the he missed most of it. However Michael did a great job! The lights we saw were great!

Not a good experience at all. The bus had at least 3 seats that should have not been utilized due the the views being horrible.

The tour was not what we expected. In reading the description of the places we would see we were very excited to book the tour. We did not go to the Lodge instead spent a few hours just driving around. It was not worth the expense. The bright side was the driver was extremely friendly and knowledgeable
