We took this hour-long tour at Christmas time and enjoyed it immensely. Our guide, Loretta, was the epitome of a professional tour guide. The tour covers all the historic sights and is very informative. Take the tour on a clear night to be able to see the Bethlehem star over the city.
We drove to Bethlehem for the first time Dec 13 . We actually went for the decorations and theming.The town had some nice decorations,especially the Bethlehem Hotel( very nice).The town itself ,not so much.Lots of shopping if that is what you are looking for.Moravian bookstore was interesting .For us this town would be fun to experience for its history.It was cold when we were there so we plan to go back in the springtime to experience Bethlehem's rich hisory.Take the trolley to Steelstacks to see the history of Beth Steel.As for Christmas decor,go to Bernville Christmas village
They were friendly. We booked a horse and buggy ride for the following day for the family. They had numerous brochures, shopping, etc...
Being new to Bethlehem it was good to learn about some of the history and what the town has to offer.
Hotel stay was excellentThe food was over priced for the amount you received . I ordered chicken with vegetables on the side. The chicken was half the size of my hand while I received very little vegetables. The price for this was 28 dollars a plate. . My wife had a dish of pasta with vegetables for 16 dollars. . Again over priced for the little she received
The staff was very helpful giving us brochures and websites to check for pre wedding activities for guests.
Thank you for the review! We at Historic Bethlehem Museums & Sites are so happy you liked the Christmas City Stroll, and we hope you come back soon to visit us again.
This is a "Must Visit" for anyone touring the area of Bethlehem Pa. The Museum attached to the Visitor Center is the Goundie House, one of the many historical buildings in town. I highly recommend the Night Tour Bus ....a great ride and tour guide who is very informative as far as the history of Bethlehem going way back to the Moravians. We just took the tour this evening. The bus tour is aproximately 1 hour. There is no fee for the Goundie house but there is a fee for the bus tour, walking tour and Horse drawn Carriage ride. The bus tour is $15 per person. No need for filling meters on Sunday....parking is free. Wonderful Historical stone and brick buildings nearby and quaint shops to explore along with eateries.
Nice place to visit. Historians enjoy everything. There museums along with downtown city stores. Many places to dine.
