The tour started out very messy. It started at 6pm and although there were a few folks who arrived a few minutes late, they were told by my tour guide to wait for the next guide and they could not join our tour, which is just not a very customer-friendly thing to say to someone (i work for a corporate company on the guest services side) and put a bad taste in my mouth.
my guide seemed frazzled and when we arrived at dyker heights, he was just walking by the houses so fast that i decided within 10 minutes of being there to just do my own tour as i remembered the walk back to the station and can easily google the info when i came home.
this is the first time i've ever left a tour group and i could've used the $25 for something else. oh well. maybe it was my tour guide who wasn't great.
speaking of the area, it's amazing! definitely take your time walking around after the tour is over!
