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.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Optional Trip Protection add-on lets you cancel or reschedule up to your travel date.
