Waste of money and time. Did get a free ride to Dyker Heights, BUT too many people to have just 2 tour guides. Caused a family's children getting lost and having to get off route. Made us have to stand and wait for a while. There needs to be MORE tour guides or smaller groups of people to worry about keeping an eye on.

We are a family of 4 and were hoping for a nice Christmas Eve walk to see the lights, instead it was total chaos and disorganization. We arrived 20 minutes early and checked in, waited by the bus as instructed and never was told to go into the deli to get our hot cocoa and cookie. After the tour, I asked about it because it was never offered to us and was told by our tour guide, Gail that we were supposed to go in before the tour. We are not mind readers and she told us to wait by the bus so we never got that part that we paid for!! Once on the bus to get to our destination, Gail had a couple of kids on the tour speak in the microphone to give us bits of the tour but we could not hear a thing because the kids were so low. Once we arrived at Dyker Heights, we got off the bus and merged with another bus (so well over 80 people). That tour guide (she never gave us her name but seemed more experienced) took over leading us and kept giving instructions to Gail but Gail was clueless. The guides took off very fast, barely held the lights up for everyone to see, so we were zooming past all of the lights and went a few blocks down. After getting there, the other guide said she had to pick up other people so had to get there fast. Wish she would have communicated that before we took off because she left part of the group along the way so we had to stand around for 15-20 minutes for her to backtrack and find the people that got left behind. Then we took off for the tour. It was too many people in the group and didn’t have time to enjoy the lights, felt like we were walking fast the whole time and trying to find the light we were supposed to be following so we didn’t get left behind. Once back to the bus, someone had taken Gail’s spot in the front of the bus and wouldn’t move so we had to wait outside for a while because the lady would not move. We finally got on the bus and while Standing at the beginning of the aisle, other people in the bus were fighting so the bus driver went to help so my daughter had to move out the way and she ended up falling and slipped down the bus stairs. Everyone finally settled down and we made it back! Thank God my daughter was okay but it was not the relaxing, enjoyable experience we were hoping for. I usually give excellent reviews but our experience was not good at all!

Tour guide seemed brand new. Did not know any of the content — inaccurate and reading the entire time. Was less fun than other guides. Directions to meet initially were very unclear. There was no bus. It should say to meet inside the deli because no one was standing outside and there was no bus so almost missed the tour. No bathroom or garbage on bus.
