Bucket List Events Reviews 178

We really enjoyed this once in a liftime (for us) trip to the Rose Bowl. Bucket list made it easy so we could spend more time with our travel companions and enjoying the event rather than chasing taxis and reservations and tickets

Absolutely incredible! Do yourself a favor and stop planning—just book with Bucket List Events. My mom and I attended the 2025 Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the experience was truly phenomenal. Every detail was flawlessly executed, with nothing overlooked. Communication was seamless and effortless from start to finish.

The brunch location was perfectly situated right along the parade route, allowing us to soak up the excitement without being caught in the crowds. Bucket List even had a reserved, cordoned-off area where we could enjoy the floats, step inside for hot chocolate, and take breaks whenever we needed.

Our tickets to the Rockettes show and Broadway performances were outstanding—we had front-row seats for both!

Huge kudos to Ben and the entire team. You went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for an unforgettable trip. Thank you for creating such a special and memorable experience!

I am happy the service they provided

We were picky. We wanted the full Oktoberfest experience but only when we wanted it. We wanted to see a bit of Munich on our own, but we also wanted a little bit of a guided tour. We wanted a hotel that was close to everything we wanted to see, but that would serve as an oasis from the joyous chaos of Oktoberfest. We didn’t want to have to think about transportation. Most importantly, we wanted to be shepherded through the beer tents without having to think about any of the details. We wanted to drink beer, eat good food, and dance with the best of them. And when we wanted to chill, we wanted to chill.

Bucket List Events checked off all the boxes. A smiling driver met us at the airport the minute we cleared customs, and kept us entertained all the way to our hotel. The Hotel Kraft was charming! We wanted an old school, German experience, not a Hyatt or Hilton. The staff there took care of us wonderfully, getting us into our room early so we could sleep off the jet lag.

I do not understand how our guides are able to coordinate so many variables so perfectly! People arrive on different days, sign up for different activities, stay in different hotels, and yet Connor and his crew nailed it. If we forgot any details, all we had to do was to look at the custom program that had been prepared specifically for us. It had been sent to us before our departure, one of several pieces of information advising us about food, beer, attire, and history. All the documents were clear and concise.

Our guides managed every aspect of our time in the tents. In the middle of all that joyous confusion they still managed to spend time with everyone in the group, and we never had to worry about ordering anything. When I erred about paying for something extra we’d asked for Peter was right there to help us out with no embarrassment to us at all.

This was exactly the Oktoberfest we’d hoped for. Kudos to our hosts and guides!

What a great experience! Taking my son to the Army-Navy Game has been a bucket list item for years! Booking through Bucket List Events was easy and secure! Not only did we get GREAT seats to the game, we also met a lot of wonderful new friends as well! Connor and Ben were fantastic hosts and handled every detail with precision! I highly recommend Bucket List Events for your dream event! - Larry Smith

Do not hesitate to book this experience! It was worth every penny. From the initial booking all the way through to check out - everything exceeded my expectations. Ben was absolutely wonderful and quick to reply to all of my questions and concerns. My words are just not enough to express how pleased I was with this whole experience (and I'm hard to impress). I've been telling everyone I know about Bucket List Events. My daughters and I will remember this trip for the rest of our lives.

Excellent client attentiveness, before and during our trip. We were able to change details and customize what we wanted to do. Everyone at Bucketlist was responsive and were a pleasure to work with

Bucket List did a great job at putting together a terrific, memorable trip for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The brunch and parade location were excellent, and the hotel was in the heart of Times Square. We actually got engaged on this trip, and everything was perfect! We're looking forward to our next adventure with Bucket List Events.

It took me 68 years to live a childhood dream of watching the NYC Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in person. Bucket List Events made this dream come true. The communication with Bucket Events is immediate, professional in a very friendly and understanding manner, and they are quite honest with the required endurance you may face with each activity. We experienced the entire parade experience, from the balloons being inflated to the actual parade itself. There were tears of joy too many times as we actually were seeing the huge turkey open the parade to the finale of Santa arriving with his reindeers. ZERO disappointment and that is hard to find these days. They organized seeing a Broadway Show of our choice and seeing the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Extravaganza with the Rocketts. It was just enough and this allowed us plenty of time to explore the city on our own. Let’s face it, it can be like herding cats when you are in a tour group and their guides are talented handlers. We will definitely look at other tours they offer.

I had the best time in Nashville with Bucket List Events for the CMA Awards! The experiences leading up to the CMA's were so enjoyable and fun. The walking food tour was fabulous and the cocktail social with the other guests was time well spent. The hotel Bucket List Events put us up at was so nice and perfectly located just off Broadway. Ben was a great host and was easily accessible during our stay. Looking forward to having them fulfill other trips on my bucket list.

Bucket List is a top of the line company. From the beginning, communication was easy and quick. Ben was my point of contact and he answered texts and emails, even calls very promptly. The itinerary was sent with ample time before traveling and everything was clear and concise. We stayed at the Lotte Towers which was beautiful and close to many of the big landmarks. We can't say enough about how well organized and upscale the events were. The parade had up close standing room and yummy food inside. The seats for the Rockettes and the Broadway show were absolutely amazing and top notch. I would highly recommend Bucket List Events and would absolutely book them again for other vacations.

Getting to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from the front row was absolutely magical and the entire experience was unforgettable!! The opportunity that Bucket List Events provided to experience everything up close was definitely an unmatched once in a lifetime opportunity!

I am so thankful I have found Bucketlist Events. I just went to the Macy's parade package and it was everything I dreamed my experience at Macy's parade would be !! Love love love this company and all of the people. I am ready to book another event .

Every event went off without a problem. We knew nothing of NYC. BL coordinated the parade with breakfast, a Rockette's show, Broadway show and (for us) A hotel room with a view of the cathedral front and center. One of the most memorable experiences we ever had made easy.

The experience was everything that they advertised. The seats for all of the shows were great, and the viewing area for the Parade was perfect. The Hotel was extremely nice and everything was well planned and thought out. I would recommend this experience to anyone who has ever thought of going to see the Parade. You will not be disappointed.

This was the first time me and my family used Bucket List events. I wasn’t referred, I just booked the trip hoping for a great time at the Macy’s Day Parade. Our experience exceeded our expectations. I know first hand how tough it is trying to organize a large group. Bucket list Events did so without a hitch. Everything was wonderful. The accommodations at the Lotte Palace were top 10. A BEAUTIFUL hotel that spewed the holiday festivities. The day of the parade was crisp and cold. Having a venue to have breakfast prior and lunch after made the event all the more enjoyable. You could view the parade from inside or stand up front on the sidewalk cheering the parade characters as the came by. The energy was intoxicating. Our visit to the Rockettes certainly put us in the Christmas spirit, and the play, Book of Mormon kept us laughing to the very end. Our seats of five to both events were excellent. We couldn’t have asked for a better kick off to the holiday season. It’s one we will never forget. I would use Bucket List Events again in a heartbeat, and I would recommend them everyday of the week!!!!!

Meticulously planned trip that was truly one bucket list experience after another thanks to Ben’s hard work. The hotel and parade viewing locations could not have been better or more beautiful. Brunch was delicious, our theatre tickets were superb. I could not have asked for more.

The Macy’s Parade Bucket List event far exceeded our expectations! The communication with Ben throughout was excellent. The Lotte Palace Hotel was beautiful and the staff was helpful. All events were well planned and no detail left unturned. The parade/ brunch venue was lovely and the food and service was outstanding. We had a perfect viewing spot for the parade. Ben and his crew patiently answered our questions, and were very personable and attentive throughout our stay. We have recommended this event to all our friends and relatives.

We had the greatest trip of our lives. The staff was so friendly and catered to all our needs. They were there for us during our entire stay and made the trip worry free. I would recommend to anyone wanting a package trip to use Bucket List Events before you book with anyone else. Thanks to all the staff with Bucket List Events for a wonderful and memorable Thanksgiving. I will always use your company for future trips.

This experience was supposed to be my once in a lifetime bucket list event to see the Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York. The hotel and the tickets to see shows were amazing. The entire reason to use Bucket List was to see the parade front and center. This did not happen. We were behind hundreds of people and could not see anything on the ground. There was also a Thanksgiving day brunch included that we were told stayed open until after the parade, this was untrue so I did not get to eat. I do not feel like I got what I paid for and will have to do this again on my own.
