About our Holiday Lights & Christmas Tours — Baltimore
Holiday lights tours are one of our favorite December bookings — groups of 15-35 touring the region's best light displays, usually with kids, hot chocolate, and carols on the Bluetooth. The Baltimore area has four world-class holiday lights destinations within day-trip range: Longwood Gardens Christmas (Kennett Square), Peddler's Village Christmas (Bucks County), Shady Brook Farm Holiday Lights (Yardley), and Koziar's Christmas Village (Bernville, PA — 90 minutes out).
The classic holiday-lights package is a 4-6 hour evening booking that hits 2 destinations with a restaurant stop in between. Party bus is the vehicle of choice — the LED interior lighting matches the holiday vibe, the sound system handles Christmas music, and cooler bars hold cocoa jugs and snacks. For corporate holiday outings with families, a mini-coach or full coach accommodates larger groups including grandparents and kids.
Booking window: mid-November through early January, with December Saturdays the peak. Longwood Gardens Christmas requires timed-entry tickets — we coordinate with your ticket block if you buy in advance. Shady Brook is drive-through (you stay in the vehicle), and Peddler's Village and Koziar's are walk-through. Chauffeur handles the route; your group handles the lights.
