Overview

Customization and honesty set up apart from the other tours in town. We change up our entire tour based on what you tell us that you want. Within reason, we can change the tour on the fly from doing a completely different topic to making additional stops for shopping or photos. No one else in town offers this level of customization.

Honesty is the second thing you get. We'll tell you whether Greenville, is a nice place to move to, how good a restaurant is and much more. We constantly study books and visit restaurants to give you the true view of the area.

On top of these two main points, you can expect a civil tour where we treat you with respect, and a great deal of information about the area. We are here to create the best possible experience we can for you.

What to expect

30m

A large part of the tour simply happens on the main and side streets of Greenville, South Carolina. Many, many stores have extensive decorations and there are lights all over the area. While it is a simple part of the tour, it's no less great to see.
Pass by

The AC Hotel is part of the Camperdown area, but deserves it's own entry. A small garden full of lights dots the entrance, with giant nutcracker statues guarding the doors. The interior also has a variety of trees and decorations themed for the holiday season. Both inside and outside it's absolutely amazing.
15m

Camperdown Mills has lights all year round, so it's worth seeing any time of year. During Christmas they add even more trees and decorations, creating a truly spectacular image. If it's warm enough to step out, we can even get a picture in front of the Camperdown mural. If you are new to the city, this is a place filled with incredible fun as well. It contains axe-throwing, minigolf, cookies, and ice cream. There are also adult treats like Larkins, where you can have some of the best steak, seafood, and wine in town.
20m

The Grand Bohemian Lodge is where the next event takes place: The Downtown Holiday Market, a crowded extravaganza of lights and shopping. If you want to stay out of the crowds or the weather is too cold, we'll just drive by it. There is plenty to see even from the side of it. If you want to check it out, we can park and see local honey, clothing, and even freshly made food. It's a great time with an incredibly busy atmosphere.
Pass by

Bennett Street is packed both with people and decorations. An incredibly active street, there are decorations everywhere. These include a super-cute family of polar bears with penguins riding them. While there aren't as many decorations as Andrea Lane, there is more than enough to enjoy here.
Pass by

New Realm Brewing is a classic piece of Greenville history, it's in the old cigar warehouse from the 1880s. But more than that, they put up a some awesome lights on their trees there and the city has more lights than usual in the trees around it. If you would like, we can also talk about the history of Greenville on this tour, and this place is a big part of it.
Pass by

One City Plaza contains a super-cool work of art known as "The Big Dog Show" which is dressed up for the holidays, which you can see in the pictures. It also has a variety of small colored lights dotting the area, which are more impressive than you would think. If you want to hear about restaurants in the area during the tour, it also contains one of the best Mexican restaurants and best mixed drink locations in the area.
Pass by

4 Andrea Lane is known for having an incredible amount of lights and inflatables during the holiday season. From dashing Santas to jolly families of snowmen, it's all here. The vast majority of houses in this area all decorate, and it's all quite beatuiful.
15m

The Bridgeway Station is a food court that is beautiful all year around, done up like an ancient spanish-style building, but it's even better during Christmas. With a huge amount of shopping and food, it's fun to go to no matter what. But now it has Christmas Trees, Nutcrackers, and even a small Santa's Sleigh you can sit in and take a picture. This is another place that, weather and time permitting, we could step out and get a picture at. While we have some shots up, it's even more beautiful than what they show when you see it in person.
