About this tour

See Denver glow with holiday lights on a 2-hour evening ride through the city’s festive landmarks. Starting near Union Station, this Denver Holiday Lights Bus Tour rolls through historic LoDo, where decorated streets and Larimer Square sparkle after dark. Along the way, admire the famous light show at the City & County Building, see the illuminated Daniels & Fisher Tower, and cruise past the Botanic Gardens and historic mansions on the way to Cherry Creek.

The experience also includes a visit inside the interactive Mile High Christmas Tree and an optional outdoor photo stop. A live English-speaking guide shares stories about Denver’s holiday traditions, landmarks, and seasonal lore as the city unfolds around you. The shuttle accommodates up to 14 guests, making it easy to take in the sights without navigating winter streets yourself.

Meet at the flagpole in front of Union Station and plan for the tour to finish at Tivoli Quad, a different location. Dress warmly for the outdoor stop, and use a restroom before departure, as there are no public restrooms along the route. Book your Denver Holiday Lights Bus Tour for a bright, story-filled night among the city’s seasonal sights.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.82 from 22 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Denver
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.9. Top 25% in Denver means it ranks in the top 25% of tours in Denver by this score.
