New York Dyker Heights Christmas Lights

Overview

Nothing says Christmas like Dyker Heights, the most famous display of lights on the planet. Locals have been decorating their homes—personally and professionally—since the '80s, making it a true NYC winter wonderland.

THE TOUR WILL TAKE PLACE RAIN or SHINE!

The ride from Midtown to Dyker Heights in Brooklyn is about an hour long on board of our comfortable coach fully heated with a restroom on board.

Your guide will escort you to Lucy Spata's house, the house that started this tradition, and walk you through the most illuminated streets before taking you back to the bus. You will spend about an hour in Dyker Heights strolling around and taking pictures.

The next stop will be at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge in the DUMBO/Brooklyn Heights area of Brooklyn. You will have about 25 minutes to take pictures of the breathtaking Manhattan skyline and the Bridge.

Then you will return to Manhattan via the Manhattan Bridge. The tour ends at the Bryant Park Winter Village.

Even though it poured on us we made the best of it. Our tour guide was great. He still made sure we saw the best houses and had the best views of the city. I noticed other tour guides didn’t go where we did so I appreciate the extra effort to make it a great experience.

The guide was pleasant enough but we didnt get a full hour looking at the lights and a brisk walk is putting it politely. Not alot of time to actually stop and look at the lights because if you do you lose the group. We lost him several times and only by pure luck and help from others who were also lost made it back to the bus! We witnessed a family ( with children ) get left behind in Dumbo in pouring rain because they didnt get back to the bus bang on 7pm. Conclusion: dyker heights great! Pretty lights but I wish i had time to fully appreciate them, average tour, expected better.
