New York: Holiday Lights & Movie Sites Bus Tour

About this experience

Book holiday lights and movie sites bus tour tickets in New York Use this page to book tickets for the Holiday Lights and Movie Sites Bus Tour in New York. This is a two hour guided coach outing that mixes Midtown holiday displays with places used in well known Christmas films. It is not the 90 minute Big Bus lights tour that ends with a drink at Planet Hollywood, and it is not the Fifth Avenue walking tour. The meeting point used by the operator is in front of the Starbucks at 1889 Broadway, at West 63rd Street and Broadway, near Columbus Circle. Look for the guide at that corner. If you are comparing other New York holiday evenings, start from the New York tickets hub, then return here to choose a date. Checkout shows VervTrip prices for this bus tour. Those figures are not a street cash rate. What the holiday lights and movie sites bus tour covers The product is sold as a bus tour with a live guide and more than 30 New York locations. You stay on the coach for the sightseeing. Food and drinks are not included. Tips are optional. The holiday window story on this route is tied to classic films. Miracle on 34th Street is the Macy's Herald Square chapter. Fifth Avenue storefronts on the tour include names such as Tiffany and Co. Other titles commonly attached to this outing are Elf, Home Alone 2, Serendipity, and Scrooged. Treat those as film associations the guide talks through, not as a promise that every facade still matches a still from the movie. The ride typically starts around Columbus Circle and looks up Central Park West, a stretch linked with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade start. From there the coach works Midtown holiday streets. Exact stops can change with traffic, street closures, and which windows are dressed that week. The listing highlights also mention Bloomingdale's. Lord and Taylor's former Fifth Avenue flagship is no longer a working store, so do not expect that shop to be open. The guide can still point to film geography without sending you into a closed building. How this tour differs from the other Midtown lights bus The guided holiday lights tour plus drink is a 90 minute Big Bus ride from 1600 Broadway that ends at Planet Hollywood with one included drink. This movie sites listing is two hours, meets at 1889 Broadway, and is built around film locations as well as lights. No drink is included. Book the meeting point that is on your voucher. Planning the Columbus Circle pickup 1889 Broadway is on the Upper West Side edge of Midtown, beside Lincoln Center and Columbus Circle, not in the M&M's World cluster on 42nd Street. Use the 1 train at 66th Street or the Columbus Circle station complex. Arrive early. Holiday traffic around the circle is slow. Wear warm clothes. You will be on a coach, but you step outside at the meeting point. Older marketing for this tour has used a late November to early January window. That is not a confirmed official 2026/27 calendar posted as a locked first and last night. Choose a date only when checkout shows one. Last season's 24 November to 2 January dates are not confirmed for this season. Ticket conditions on this listing currently say these tickets cannot be cancelled or rescheduled. Read the live terms before you pay. If you want a seated holiday show after a daytime coach, the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes runs from 4 November 2026 through 4 January 2027. Leave a wide gap. A two hour bus from 63rd Street will not drop you at Radio City in time for a close curtain.
