Safety is Our #1 Priority
See the Nights of Lights in style with your own private row!
In order to provide our guests with the safest and most comfortable sightseeing experience, Old Town Trolley Tours is exclusively selling full rows this year to assure social distancing on its famous Nights of Lights Tour. We have implemented a number of other new safety measures such as plexiglass partitions in between every row of seating, limited contact with other persons, elimination of long lines through our reservation-based booking system and an increased focus on disinfecting and sanitation.
Face coverings are recommended, but not required.
A Holiday Tradition
The holidays are popular for enjoying time-honored traditions like gift-giving, bonding with family, and decorating your home in the spirit of the season. Here in America’s Oldest City, we take the latter to a whole different level. Inspired by an ancient holiday practice brought here by the Spanish of displaying lit candles on window sills, The Annual Nights of Lights is set to brighten up the holidays in The Ancient City once again! To experience the glow of the season and the more than 3 million sparkling white lights adorning every corner of the city, stretching for nearly 20 blocks, take a ride on Old Town Trolley’s Nights of Lights Tour!
“This tour is a holiday tradition for locals and visitors alike and is sure to become one of your favorite holiday memories.”
In accordance with CDC guidelines regarding physical distancing and limiting contact with others, temporary adjustments have been made to this year’s Nights of Lights Tours such as the elimination of complimentary cookies and cider. We hope and it is our intention to return the post-tour treat next year.
