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.

Fun and informative tour with a great guide. The lights were gloriously over the top and even though the weather was freezing, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. The tour of the lights themselves is a little random as although the guide gave the option of walking with her, we soon lost her and so wandered around on our own. She'd been careful to ensure everyone knew where the meeting point was though so it wasn't a problem. Having a bus with a restroom was a definite plus!

From the time we got on the bus to the time we left, the gentleman guide knew everything about everything. He was so informative. I just thought we'd see some Christmas lights and that would be it, but the tour also took us to Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights for great photo opportunities. If you have the chance to go, then go as it was a brilliant experience not to be missed.
