Really fun. The lights were impressive, especially at the houses where the bus stopped and let us off. The guide was cheerful and knowledgeable. The driver was careful and didn’t bounce us around too much, even on the old, much-patched roads of the Park Cities. Sometimes tours make you few like cattle being herded but every one was really accommodating here. The guide gave us plenty of time to look at the displays that we got off to see. Not rushed along at all.

Im having a hard time choosing a rating. For many years, Id go on the Chocolate Tour that Dallas By Chocolate ran. It was excellent. They closed, then reopened ... or so I thought. It then changed over to Best DFW Tours. No longer Chocolate, but a simple 1.5 hour ride through Highland Park with a stop to get snacks in between. Im torn. While this was more efficient, there was no Christmas magic about this ride. It was far too short. There was no excitement to stop at a place and see what treats they have. There was no bringing a blanket and getting comfortable on the bus. There wasn't enough time to get in a few laughs with the other passengers or banter with the host. If you want to see some lights, this ride is for you, although we didn't see everything we could have seen. Will I go on this again? I dont think so. Unless Dallas By Chocolate rises from the ashes and takes the reigns again, ill be skipping this in the years to come.
