  It was very nice. He went slow so we could enjoy the music and the lights. Some people were not the but gave a courtesy call. He went to pick them up at other end of parking lot.

  Tour guide was nice and informative about local places but not hardly any christmas traditons spoke of, and we only went to patriot park and soaky mountain. We never made it to Gaitlynburg. Just disappointed thought we were gonna get more for the exorbitant price they charge.

  Be cautious of booking and paying. I paid in full a week before the tour. When I parked 15 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time, I saw the ford bus pull out of the parking lot behind the city trolley. I called the number listed in the email and left a message stating that the bus left without my wife and I. I also messaged the provider to get the bus to return. We sat in the parking lot for an hour after the schedule departure hoping that the bus would return or another tour would be leaving. Neither happened. I received an email stating "Once the bus leaves it doesn't come back im sorry ... he shouldn't have left until either 6pm or until all guests were accounted for." Obviously, this driver did not know the policy and this tour operator has yet to even return my payment as of this morning. I came to Tennessee for Thanksgiving and the New Improved Smoky Mountain Holiday Light Spectacular was going to be the highlight of this trip. I am sorry to report that it became the low point of this trip.

  It certainly wasn’t what we expected. Your meet up instructions are very vague and confusing. You send us to 220 Apple Valley which is a complex with multiple businesses with instructions “white van parked near the toilets.” No markings on the van. We walked the entire parking until a very nice bus driver showed us the way to the meeting area. Your tour guide needs some serious training. He talked snd talked and talked. NEVER did he say anything about where we were going. We just drove and he pointed out every restaurant (we were not in an eating tour). Also brought religion into the conversation. When we finally arrived after driving and arrived. The lights were beautiful . We will never book with you again. We expected a nice comfortable BUS right, NOT a van with uncomfortable seats with 7 people.

• Family trip

  Was a great time. The whole family laughed. It would be even better if you had time to walk the 2 mile path with Christmas lights or at least had the option. Also could they contract with the whiskey/wine tasting venues to accommodate the tours & save space for the bus tour patrons? Or at least make that an option when booking the tour?

  A little bummed bc of the terrible traffic we didn’t get to Gatlinburg lights. Otherwise enjoyed the lights we did get to see. Our driver sharing his family stories and pointing out interesting places made the time not boring at all. He did a great job and continued to apologize for the traffic. Thank you for this light tour.

  These people was a no show and the phone number they provide for you is not a working number. We sat there for an hour waiting to find out they wasn’t coming

  Vacation was short but enjoyable. We stayed in a cabin in Wearsville and it was perfect for just the 2 of us. Food at both the Old Mill and Crockets was as good as it gets. Little disappointed in the choice of shows to go to. Plan to give Dollywood a try next time we come this way.

  They cancelled our trip without informing us. Still haven't gotten a refund. Made a 6 hour trip for nothing. Would not recommend anyone using this company. Worst experience ever. Very unprofessional. Ruined my daughters whole christmas experience in pigeon forge

• Lights, sights and history with Dustin was well worth the price.

  Really enjoyed the lights and especially the information from Dustin our guide. Wish we were able to take the tour at the beginning of our stay. We found the information regarding the tour and booked it at home before leaving and the only time available was our last night. Dustin gave us suggestions regarding sights and restaurants which we would have visited had we known. When we come back we would love to take another tour with Dustion to learn more history and see sights in the daytime. We highly recommend this tour.
