This Dyker Heights Christmas Lights bus tour was awesome! It was out first time in NYC, therefore our first trip to see Dyker Heights. The tour host was very nice & gave lots of facts about city & landmarks we passed along the way. He did a great job of making sure the group stayed together so that no one got lost. The driver was also nice & did a great job getting us there & back safely. They took us to Bay Ridge first to see some nicely decorated houses, we approached this stop as it was way less crowded than Dyker Heights. Dyker Heights had SO MANY over the top decorations as well as some toned-down more simplistic & classic Christmas decor. There were homes who were selling hot chocolates & treats as well as food trucks set up. Do beware there is nowhere to go to the bathroom in Dyker Heights but there is a bathroom on the bus, so that's a plus. After leaving from there, we made a stop along the water before crossing back over to head back to the city. We got to see the Brooklyn Bridge & Manhattan skyline all lit up at night & it was absolutely beautiful!! That was our favorite part of the trip!

Extremely enjoyable and very well organised. Daniel our tour guide was great. He was really clear on what was happening, how long things would take and shared lots of interesting information throughout the trip. The walking tour was very busy in places but didn’t impact on being able to see the houses and take photos. The stop at Brooklyn bridge was the highlight, amazing views. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing to see all the fabulous Christmas lights. Our guide, Camila, was great too. An added bonus was stopping at DUMBO on the way back for some magnificent views across the water
