Tour festive home displays around town.
Driving around the city in search of holiday light displays is a time-honored tradition for many families, and a local company is taking the guesswork out of the equation. Twin Cities Sightseeing Tours offers nightly rides at 5 and 8 p.m. on Wednesdays–Sundays throughout December with its Festive Holiday Lights Tour.
The tour starts at Lucky’s 13 Pub and winds its way through neighborhoods in Plymouth and Maple Grove on a route that varies year to year, owner Rebecca Pfeiffer says. Some homeowners even reach out to the tour company to add their festive homes to the route.
Pfeiffer says that the tours receive a mix of guests including families, groups of friends and corporate parties. The tour has become a holiday tradition for many families. “You don’t have to remember where anything’s at,” Pfeiffer says. “You just sit back and just enjoy yourself. You have music going, and everything’s already put together for you.”
The bedecked Holiday Lights Tour bus serves up Christmas tunes and cheer with Santa at the wheel (or not—if some younger riders are a bit shy). The two-and-a-half-hour tour can accommodate a maximum of 14 guests, kids included. Food and drink is allowed but not provided. Twin Cities Sightseeing Tours can accommodate private tours, larger groups and handicap accessible bus tours upon request any day of the week. Learn more at twincitiessightseeingtours.com.
