We really enjoyed this trip. The coach picks you up down the side of The Row Hotel on *8th Avenue. Its then approx. a 1 Hour drive to Brooklyn , you go past Ground Zero /One World Observatory. The tour guide gives a good interesting commentary on what you can see on the way and what to expect when you get there. There are 2 Stops to view the decorated houses. the first one just one street the bus drops you of one end and picks you up the other, the Blue house has really gone to town and looks fantastic. The second stop is Dyker Heights. Coach drops you of as it can be busy in this area, Then you walk around a large fairly affluent block of houses all really fantastically decorated with lights. One note for this trip is that if you have trouble walking this may not be for you as it is a walking trip mainly with a guide . Then its back to the bus for some great views of Manhatten from Brooklyn ,with a great photo opp just before crossing back over the River. We took the 6pm trip and got back around 9.30 due to heavy traffic, the 4pm according to the guide is quicker due to less traffic.
