We had a great night visiting Dyker Heights to see the houses with Christmas decorations.
The tour is just like the Tripadvisor page says: First we went to see the lights, being on site for about an hour I think, and then we went to two more places in Brroklyn to have good views of Manhattan.
In Dyker Heights we walked several streets in the van and then on foot.
We were picked up promptly at the pickup location and eventually dropped off at a central Manhattan location.
The van was clean and spacious. We were like four groups if I remember correctly.
Best of all, the tour was in Spanish, I think the only one offered in this language to see the Christmas lights.
I highlight the two guides, both the one who gave us the main talk and who then accompanied us on foot to the places, as well as who manages.
Everyone had their own personality, which made the trip great. Very funny the main guide, gave the tour the touch, no doubt. Very cool his personality.
Of course, when we walked I was going a little fast. It was nothing exaggerated, but among so many people on site it was easy to get lost and on one occasion the group split in two. Before proceeding, my advice is to check that everyone follows you, so this would be avoided. While he had a guide stick, maybe putting a flashing light on it would help.
Except for that, which did not affect the experience at all, everything was great with him as a guide (unfortunately I do not remember his name to place him, nor the driver, although as a reference for Tour America, we took the tour on December 14, 2024).
Good memory.
Thank you!

For those who like Christmas. I loved the walk. Departing from downtown Manhattan gave to see the city lit and the beautiful sunset when arriving in Dyker Hights. The houses are beautiful, we had time to walk and have a hot chocolate. It was all great.
My only criticism is that the guide, though very good, was of Hispanic origin and was not always easy to understand your English.
