Long trip on the way to...

Violette_D, Nov 2025

Long trip on the way to Leavenworth.Stopped over at so many places but enjoyable. Wish there was more time in Leavenworth.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Dear Violette, Thank you so much for joining our Leavenworth Christmas Lights Tour and for taking the time to share your feedback. 🌟 We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the stops along the way, but we’re truly sorry you felt there wasn’t enough time in Leavenworth itself. We understand that the village is the highlight of the day, especially during the Christmas lights season, and your comment is very helpful. We carefully plan several scenic and restroom/photo stops on the long drive for comfort and safety, but we’ll definitely review our itinerary to see how we can improve timing and give our guests more time to enjoy Leavenworth. We hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back on another tour in the future and provide an even better experience. 💚 Warm regards,

Clueless Driver/Guide

William_S, Dec 2023

So…the pick-up from hotel was late by 20mins with no communication from driver. We were scheduled to stop multiple times to see various sites, but these were mainly convenience stores. We arrived in Leavenworth at 1:07pm and were told to be back at the van at 3pm. This is unacceptable given we skipped the scheduled stops and we should have had more time in the town for lunch, shopping and site seeing. The driver only provided directional insights on the trip to Leavenworth and none very useful, definitely not a tour guide. The driver was completely silent on the trip back. He was constantly checking his phone vs having 100% attention to the snowy conditions outside. Another passenger had to turn on the heat and defrost since the front window was foggy and had ice build up. Driver didn’t ask for music preferences and country was definitely not it!!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Dear William, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. During the winter time the first and most important mission of our driver guide is focusing on safety and the itinerary is very depending to road condition and weather. You are totally right about your experience and we’ll use your feedback to improve our services.” Best regards

Amazing

Step into a postcard with this tour

Viviana_A, Jan 2022

Daniel provided a fantastic tour into the truly picturesque mountains of Washington. He took us to a Bigfoot Sighting area and Leavenworth with multiple stops in between to take pictures and enjoy the atmosphere. I felt like I was stepping to a postcard. Daniel was gracious, considerate and informative.

Roshan_K, Dec 2021

This journey was very memorable. With Stevens Pass getting closed and we having to look at the possibility of spending night in Leavenworth, it was a good adventure. And the driving by Daniel was so good. Very comfortable and careful driving. Also, he took care of us so much in the entire trip.
