Brian Beard said one of the benefits of the tour is that they will navigate through the neighborhoods which may become more busy with traffic as the holidays approach.
"We'll handle the logistics for you, so we'll pick you up, drop you off wherever you want us to do that," Brian Beard said. "So, you don't have to do any of the work, you just get on our festive bus and we'll handle everything else."
Brian Beard said the bus seats 14 people, which groups can rent on weekdays from $500 for a 4-hour tour, and $575 on Fridays.
Public tours take place at 5 and 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday nights, with individual tickets available to purchase at $35 for a 2.5-hour version of the Tacky Lights Tour that visits the best spots in town.
