Come join us for our 2021 Christmas light tour as we check out some of the biggest and best holiday light displays in the state!  We will have a stop in Detroit at Campus Martius, the Detroit Zoo Wild Lights and Downtown Rochester.  We encourage everyone to dress in their favorite Christmas gear and outfits but it is not mandatory.  We do suggest dressing warm as you will be outside for a lot of the event. 

 The first bus is our 27 passenger corporate shuttle which has black leather forward facing seats.  This bus is built for luxury and comfort.  Most of the seats recline and have seat belts. Both buses will be decorated with Christmas decorations inside and will be playing Christmas music for the drive!

All guests will receive a free Santa hat for the tour as well.  It leaves Hamlin Pub at 5:30 P.M.  You can bring a small lap sized cooler and you can enjoy an adult beverage along the way.  Our bus will arrive at each stop where you will get off the bus and tour the stop, take pictures, and check out any of the local shops at the stops.  We will leave each stop right at the set time and we will not be able to wait for anyone that has not returned yet so we suggest to get to the bus 5 – 10 minutes before the scheduled departure time.  We cannot control traffic and weather conditions so departure and arrival times may vary if that happens.  Once we stop you will be able to go anywhere you please at each stop.  You may not be able to see perfectly out the windows as we are driving but you will be able to see it all up close once we stop. 

Come in early or after the event to Hamlin Pub for 20% off your tab for anyone from the tour.

The price may go up as the dates get closer so get your tickets in advance.

This is a rain, shine, or snow event!
