It was so well planned out and executed by Ben and his staff. The hardest part in any business is matching ‘dollar cost’ to the value in experience and this team did this perfectly. It was absolutely worth it.

I wanted to thank you for a well organized affordable trip and for accommodating our last minute requests.

The Rockettes Christmas show and Moulin Rouge performances were great and our seats were perfect. Breakfast/brunch and parade viewing were excellent as well.

We will definitely be making plans again for the Macy's Day Parade Trip. I simply cannot say enough about the top notch Hotel, Location, Food, and Customer Service of Brian, Rich & Ben of Bucket List. Everything that was included with our trip could not have been better..Thank you for a most memorable adventure. Much Love to you guys!!!

Friends…I cannot say enough good things about this company and the guys that run it. Every little detail has been taken care of. At every turn smiles and memories are being created. Thank YOU SO MUCH Bryan, Rich & Ben for everything!!! My daughter and I are in awe of NYC and you guys have made it so special

I simply cannot say enough about the top notch Hotel, Location, Food, and Customer Service. Everything that was included with our trip could not have been better. Thank you for a most memorable adventure.

Bucket List Events was great! I considered doing it myself but I wanted it to be perfect and perfect it was. I wouldn't change a single thing. Bucket List went above and far beyond my expectations. My wife was so happy she actually started crying when she talked about the trip. Here are some pics of the parade from our window seat. Plus, we could go down stairs for brunch and our own private spot on the sidewalk to watch the parade. Did I mention the tickets to Hamilton? Center stage and eye level with the actors. Perfect, perfect, perfect!!
