This was a perfect plan after a very early and busy day for my family, which included a 10-year-old grandson. The tour bus ride gave us an opportunity to get off our feet while enjoying the ride to Dyker Heights. The lights were amazing! It was like Christmas lights on steroids! Our tour guide was fabulous. She was full of energy and details about the area. We walked a number of blocks to see the lights up close. And we were able to take pictures! It was a perfect end to our very busy day.

My friend and I had a very good time on this Dyker Heights Christmas tour. We meet at a convenient location in Times Square and a big Greyhound type bus took us to Dyker Heights. Our tour guide was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable of the area. When we got to the location and got off the bus we followed our tour guide. It was hard to hear him on the device he was using to speak in and we got lost from the group a couple of times. Luckily he gave everyone his number to contact if we got lost lol. The Dyker Heights neighborhood we saw were very nice and festival decorated. I highly recommend this tour!

I wanted to give this tour 5 stars, but it fell short. The tour began with a warm and cozy tour bus on a cold and rainy evening. The tour guide, introduced himself and led us through a decent introduction. If you can get past the word "um" every two words, you'll be okay. He explained to us the stops we would be making and we got a great laugh when he described them as the "appetizer," "main course," and dessert. The tour itself was incredible. The houses were breathtaking and despite the cold, rainy night, we enjoyed our tour. With that being said, it was not guided. Here's my biggest complaint. On the last stop, we got out and had an opportunity for a picture with the Brooklyn Bridge and NYC Skyline. Most of our group stayed on the bus due to the weather, but my husband and I chose to brave it. As our tour guide skipped around (literally), we asked if he could take a picture of us. He promptly said, "No." We stood there kind of shocked, until he finally said, "Ask someone else in the tour." This was a huge letdown. Dyker Heights and the homes were incredible. The tour lacked.

We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the breathtaking views of the houses, even amid the challenging weather. Dyker Heights is indeed a magical place, especially during the holiday season, and we're glad that you and your husband were able to appreciate it.

However, we sincerely apologize for the disappointment you faced when it came to capturing your special moment by the Brooklyn Bridge.
