After 20 minutes we had to stop for a bathroom break? Spent more time on the main roads then in the neighborhoods and kept backtracking through the same streets. Very disappointing for what the price is.

After 20 minutes we had to stop for a bathroom break? Spent more time on the main roads then in the neighborhoods and kept backtracking through the same streets. Very disappointing for what the price is.
Barely got to see any lights at all. Passed many streets with lights but didn't go down them. We stayed on the main streets with businesses. I have done the chocolate christmas tours in previous years and enjoyed it throughly but this was very boring, couldn't wait to get off the bus.
We drove through the most beautifully decorated places. Stopped at 2 houses where we were able to get down and take pictures. Saw Wayne Smith's Santa House. The nostalgia was overwhelming. Also stopped and got snacks/bathroom break at Pokeys and La Madeleine. Our tour guide, Pam, played games, joked around with us and enhanced our enjoyment. I would do this again if im ever in the Dallas area during Christmas.
We had such a great time on the tour. Our tour guide kept really interesting conversation throughout the whole tour & completely made the experience. The stop for chocolate & wine was a great touch, & the tour was timed perfectly. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. It was a great experience to share with friends and family.
This year, my siblings and I met up in Dallas to celebrate Christmas together. We decided to go on this tour together and it was great! Perfect chill environment, and the stop for chocolates and wine/hot chocolate was a great addition. Our tour guide was great, knowledgeable about the area, joined our conversations, and gave us history/background of some of the houses/sights. He also let us have fun, joke around, and talk with each other on the bus without feeling like we were disrupting him. It was clean, comfortable, and the large windows were perfect for everyone to be able to see outside on both sides!
So this was first Christmas light tour and I really enjoyed the experience. Our tour guide was chill and quite informative. I loved the chocolate and wine too. The people that worked at that place were very helpful too. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because it went on for too long towards the end. Other than that, great experience!
Like any tour, it's the little things that can make or break it. This one had a fun little stop for chocolate and wine/hot chocolate that worked wonderfully. The guide was resourceful and patient and allowed the evening to flow in a way that just made the time a great way to spend a few hours celebrating the holiday season.
Loved it! I was hosting family in Dallas over the holidays and was looking for a fun activity that would introduce them to the best of Dallas and still be full of holiday spirit. This tour through Highland Park was perfect. The chocolate/wine/hot chocolate was absolutely lovely. The tour guide was super friendly and provided great insight/tidbits throughout without being overbearing. The houses and lights were exquisite. I also just realized I was so engrossed in the sights that I didn’t take photos but it was worth it.
Loved the wine & chocolate tasting. So impressed by the quality of the handmade chocolate made in store paired with recommended wine. I love that they had an option for hot chocolate as well! The lights were mesmerising and gorgeous. It was great to see different styles of decorating for Christmas. Overall, this is a great, lowkey experience that’s relaxing and a great way for any group of people to just hang and chill out.
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The lights were beautiful and our driver slowed down and gave us an opportunity to admire some of the really interesting displays. We enjoyed the chocolates, hot chocolate and champagne at Chocolate Secrets as well. Also, the van was nice and clean with big windows so the little kids could see. We will definitely take the other tours as well.
