The website shows approx. 2.5 hrs for the city of lights tour; the one I took lastet about 60 min....very disappointing...I had expected more and I was also bored with the narrative provided by the guide.

Ive been to NYC several times, been on tours before, but the Holiday Lights Tour was a complete joke. At 6pm we were told that the bus we had all boarded was going out of service and we needed to disembark. Then we were told to get back on that same bus. We did and then were advised to go to the bus directly behind us. Each time we had to wade through slosh created at the curb by the earlier snow storm. We finally took off. We drove by Rockefeller Center and saw the tree that we had already seen when walking in that area. We saw a Tiffany star hanging above Fifth Avenue which we had already seen. We drove by Times Warner and Macys and saw the lights at both locations. That was it. No other holiday lights were pointed out to us. We were greatly disappointed. While on the tour, our bus driver was stopped by NYPD and cited for "blocking the box". That took 15 minutes of our tour time. Where were all of these "holiday lights"? Only four locations were pointed out to us. The tour guide talked about himself and local restaurants, but seemingly forgot about "holiday lights". I've been all over the world on all kinds of tours, including several NYC tours, but this was the worst ever. If we go to NYC in 2010, the Lights Tour will not be considered. It was a waste of time and money. We experienced nothing positive about it but fortunately the rest of our NYC week was terrific. This tour should not be offered. It's a rip off and a negative reflection on the tour company, NYC Tourism, and did not reflect the city that we came to know.

We arrived on our due date to be told, they were not on that night. We had made a specific journey to check in and we had to completely change our plans for two evenings. Next night it was successful but we did not see anything different to what we had already seen.

Tour was suppose to begin at 530 did not start until 600pm. It only lasted one hour when the paper stated it would be 2 hours. When standing in line to get on the bus, the bus driver and tour guide began fighting about a previous clients comments. The tour guide was very negative, spoke very fast and was not reliable. I did go in to talk to customer service and the gentlemen behind the counter said that's how the tour is.

Whole problem was the tour guide. She hardly spoke English, and had little knowledge of the area. She never even pointed out the tree at Rockefeller square as we flew by it on the bus!
