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.

Great trip!
Our tour guides were extremely helpful and informative. They dropped us off only 2 minutes away from the best decorated blocks.
They were Italian and kindly gave us their opinions of which restaurants and pizza was the most authentic to Italian cuisine.

Thanks again.

Tour guide listed verbally 4 stops. Dyker Heights, DUMBO, under Brooklyn Bridge ice cream, Rockefeller Plaza for a total of 4 hours. Did not do DUMBO, and let us out at least .02 mi from Rockefeller.and told us to just walk?? To where?? Guide disappeared. Tour 4:00-6:45. Did not return to YOTEL

Response from Host

Dear Regina, it seems like there has been a lot of misunderstandings here. First: the stops are only 3: 1: Dyker Heights 2: Dumbo, at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge which we did 3: Final stop used to be Rockefeller Center (it still was, at the time you took the tour) until we realized it's impossible to get there during Christmas unless you like to get stuck in the traffic for an hour. Never ever our tour included a return to Yotel. It is not true the tour lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes. IMPOSSIBLE unless you flew back to Manhattan. Your review is full of lies. I have to say I am very annoyed to find it here. We don't deserve it!
