Tips & Advice
- Buy your tickets online ahead of time, because they're only sold online and each trolley holds just 35 people.
- Get to the booth at Mallory Square 15 minutes before your tour to check in, because tours run on a reservation basis.
- Leave your VIP pass at home for this one, because VIP passes can't be used for the Holiday Sights and Festive Nights Tour.
- If you're booking for a large group, know that groups aren't guaranteed to sit together on the trolley.
- Add Trip Protection when you book if your plans might change, because tickets are otherwise non-refundable and can only be rescheduled up to 24 hours ahead.
