Friendly & fun lights tour - Debbie was awesome from start to finish on the tour. My wife and I had already done a lot of exploring ourselves and there was still plenty that we missed by ourselves. She did a good job about tailoring the experience to how we wanted it to go as well and just made good conversation.

Great Lights, Great Guide, Great Fun! - This tour was fantastic! Debbie took us to all of the light and window displays that anyone in Manhattan would want to see. Debbie was funny, friendly and brimming with information about Christmas and New York. The tour requires a fair amount of walking, but that is part of the charm of experiencing the city like a New Yorker. Debbie was more than willing to take pictures of my husband and myself. She also pointed out from where to take the best photos. Finally, Debbie guided us through this wonderful experience on an injured ankle - what a trooper!
