Longwood Gardens Brightens the Season. - When Longwood Gardens’ timed holiday tickets were sold out, WeVenture got us in! We met up with our guide, James, promptly at the entrance (he had already started to communicate with us the day before!) James knew the best paths to see everything, including hidden gems and places not to be missed as well as having a wealth of info to relate. His pace was our pace. After James took us on one complete loop (around 3.5 hours) we stayed 3.5 more having dinner and enjoying the lights, conservatory, music and fountains a bit more.

History, gardens, and architecture wrapped in a day trip. - We took WeVenture tour to Longwood Gardens winter light show to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Everyone in our small group enjoyed the trip. Adam, our guide, contacted us via text in advance to coordinate the pickup in the center of Philly. Adam was extremly punctual, knowledgeable, and tuned to our needs and expectations. Upon arrival, we had about two hours to explore the gardens on our own or with the guide. There’s so much history to learn and landscapes to see at Longeood, that it definitely deserves another trip, perhaps in summertime. Some of our visit’s highlights were the old DuPont mansion housing a wonderful history exhibit, the new $250 million concervancybexpansion, and the bonsai collection. Thank you WeVenture for the experience!

Easiest way to see Longwood Gardens - We do not have a car and wanted to see Longwood gardens. This offering was perfect. It is a frustrating trip to drive this route with the heavy traffic. Then there is the need for advance purchase tickets and parking at the site. This tour handled all of that perfectly. Our driver was exceptional and was a wealth of great information. We had plenty of time with a perfect evening viewing of the amazing light displays. So easy!

Beautiful and you don’t want to miss - Beautiful gardens and loved all the flowers in the conservatory. Really set the Christmas mood and enjoyed the cool air while strolling around in the park. Our guide Adam was very informative and helped point out so many items we maybe would have missed.

An unforgettable holiday experience! - My first time to Longwood Gardens and I'm glad to have went during the Christmas season! Everything was decorated beautifully as if it popped out of a storybook. It was impressive to see the many kinds of Christmas trees that were set up (ever see one decorated as a phoenix?). Our guide Adam was very punctual, courteous, and had a great sense of humor. He had the experience running smooth from start to finish, offering us plenty of time to see everything available. With such a unique detailed scenery and expert facilitation in our guide, this is a holiday experience I won't forget.

A Breathtaking Christmas Experience--Thank you ADAM! - This was a fantastic experience. Longwood was sold out, but we were able to get tickets. Our driver Adam was so great. There was a lot of traffic, but Adam kept his cool. When we arrived, he dropped us off with the entrance card and parked the car, so we did not have to walk a long distance. Adam gave us plenty of time and space to take our own pace and pointed out some places of interest along the way. The display was breathtaking. We had visited Longwood a long time ago, and the new conservatory is beautiful. Highly recommended.
