Dyker Heights Christmas Lights Tour

This tour was wonderful. Easy meeting point. It was New York's first snow so everything was beautiful.

It was a great tour of the meat packing area and dyker heights in brooklyn!!!! I was a bit skeptical about the tour of the meat packing area but it was very interesting to hear about the changes that occured in that part of Manhattan over the years. All seen from the comfort of the bus. The Dyker Heights had some hill walking so keep that in mind. Well spent money, even the 17 yr old son enjoyed the lights.

an amazing display of wealth and glitter in professionally lighted homes The tour was very well narrated and the buses not particularly uncomfortable well worth the money

Great tour- highly recommend! The description for the meeting / starting location should include “on the park premises”. We arrived thirty minutes early but stood on the opposite side of the park. A nice gentleman told us to cross the street and find the tour guides with vests - which we would easily seen on our own. But when we arrived a man named Fred was beyond rude. He chastised our group loudly and publicly for not knowing where to stand. Even though we were very early and would have found them. Fred is : Rude Distasteful Crass Impolite Vulgar Boorish Brash Abrasive Fred should have zero contact with the customers. He go on the bust before departure and introduces our guide and the bus driver. Thankfully he left immediately. Kevin was a great driver and he was patient in traffic. He was flexible with various tourists’ needs when it came to drop off. He was always friendly and courteous. Dave was an excellent tour guide. He really, really knows his stuff. He is a wealth of knowledge in terms of the history of New York City. We learned so much about where Santa Claus came from, who first used the word Santa, the history of Santa at Macy’s department store, and so much more! He does a great job at explaining the significance of different areas of Manhattan as well as Brooklyn. He knows Dyker Heights like the back of his hand and is very good at explaining so many fascinating details related to Christmas and Dyker Heights. We learned that the lights in Dyker Heights can be seen from outer space and so much more. We visited NYC for a week and the tour to Dyker Heights was our highlight of the entire vacation and Dave is a big reason why. If you have kids (and even if you don’t) this trip is a must while you visit during Christmas season.

It is a fun experience! And the tour guide gave a fabulous explanation on all the NY neighborhoods from beginning to end, talking about fun facts, historical events, things to do. Then, all the history behind the Dyker Heights Christmas Lights, from the family that started the tradition to the involvement of the whole neighborhood. At the end, a quick stop under the Brookling Bridge with beautiful views of Manhattan. Worth doing it, lots of fun. The tour guide was a true newyorker, knowledgeable and fun.

Jarred was the best tour guide, very informative. He made it fun! We also got to take pictures under the Brooklyn Bridge & Rockefeller Christmas tree.

Jared, our guide, and Kevin, our driver knocked it out of the park. My mom & I took this tour during a snowstorm on 12/26/25, and being on a heated bus with a restroom was a nice break from the cold. The size of the group was perfect (40), and it made for easy navigating in the streets of Dyker Heights. Jared will provide so much detailed info about NYC, Brooklyn, the neighborhood, the homes, and many other stories. There are a few food trucks (pretzels, hot chocolate) around for a snack. The snow made it so that we could not go to Dumbo or see the Brooklyn bridge, but we filled the time with other sights (from the comfort of the bus). Kevin can drop you off on Madison Ave nearest your hotel, or you can get off at Lotte NY hotel with Jared and see the Rockefeller tree & Saks light show, at which point Jared can take your photos. The value for the experience was unbeatable, and this was such a memorable experience for our first Christmas in NYC.

Overall amazing tour of Dyker Heights. Comfortable bus ride with a knowledgeable guide through lower Manhattan then taken to Dyker Heights in Brooklyn. Lots of facts along the way, very informative.

We paid $95 for a 4 hour tour of dyker heights christmas lights. Then we were to be brought to dumbo..an erea in Brooklyn to see the Brooklyn Bridge and new york skyline and take photos..then end in Rockefeller enter to see the tree. It was snowy when we left on the tour and immediately the guide said we night have to cut the lights portion of the tour short and we would have to see if we can continue to the bridge portion of the tour abd if it's too messy and people didn't want to go see the tree at Rockefeller they could be dropped off We stayed the hour at the christmas lights then didn't go th the bridge then a number of people got dropped off earlier.....if the wheather was a problem we should have been notified abd decided for ourselves if we wanted to go.. The lights were nice but as for the rest of it..it was disappointing. I know nobody controls the wheather, but there was a bus full of people for this excursion and the company did not delivered what was paid for ..I would like some money refunded gjr this...by the way it ended up seeing 3 inches of snow..

Wonderful!! The lights are stunning! The tour guide was very informative. Loved the extra picture stops of Brooklyn Bridge/Manhattan skyline and Washington Square Park.

Wonderful tour guide and driver, can’t say enough good things about them. The tour was just a bit long and too late for my young kids and I should’ve planned the day better so they weren’t already so tired.

Tour was amazing, had so many cool landmark's on the way and leaving Dyker Heights!! Some awesome photo stops Tour guides were also amazing.

Fantastic tour!!! Learned so much and got amazing photos! Cannot recommend enough! The staff is wonderful and you can tell love what they do.

Incredible experience and amazing driver and tour guide! We had such an amazing time walking through Dyker Heights and looking at the amazing houses. Our tour guide made a great effort to explain the history and significance of the area as well as the rest of NYC!!!

Jared was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He showed us all the best houses in Dyker Heights. Kevin safely drove us through the snowy streets. I would definitely do this tour again.

Jared, our tour guide & Kevin our bus driver were superb, even in a snowstorm. It was warm & cozy in the bus as we were treated to fun facts about Brooklyn, Manhattan & all things Christmas!

Jared was such a knowledgeable, helpful, entertaining and friendly guide and worked perfectly with our terrific driver, Kevin, who kept us safe and comfortable on a stormy night in December. The snow storm was a delightful addition to the tour of the Christmas lights in Dyker Heights. It was absolutely magical. I highly recommend!

Kevin, our driver, and Jared, our tour guide, were outstanding. Kevin navigated the bus through Brooklyn like a true master captain of his ship. Jared gave a storied education on St Nick, Christmas lights, and Brooklyn, as well as reading Twas the night before Christmas. The Christmas lights did not disappoint and were sights which must be seen.

Jared is a FANTASTIC guide. what a gem! brought my parents on this who were visiting me and they had a fantastic time. Dyker Heights Christmas Lights is totally worth it for the holiday cheer

Brilliant evening out and some amazing Christmas lights. Lots of options for food and drinks in the various gardens and driveways. Well worth a visit.

Jared & Kevin were great! Jared was a fantastic tour guide and Kevin negotiated NYC traffic like a champ! We recommend them to anyone who wants to know NYC.

It was awesome! Dyker Heights is beautiful. The tour guide was also very friendly and informing. The view of the Brooklyn Bridge and City is awesome.

This was a very great tour of the neighborhood. Ray was a very informative tour guide. Kevin was one of the best New York drivers. It's not just getting to see the Christmas lights you get history of the city, as well as a stop at the Brooklyn Bridge and the East River. The tour finished up at the Rockefeller Center just in time to see the Beautiful Rockefeller tree

Ray was the BEST guide ever he knew so much about New York history and has been doing the tour for years so he had great insider info on all the houses

Jared and Kevin were excellent in the tour We enjoy walking the christmas lights tour The stop at the Dumbo with the nice pictures that we are going to have memories forever

Jared and Kevin were great tour guides! Very knowledgeable and kind!! Made a second stop in Dumbo to take pictures in front of Brooklyn Bridge. Jared was a great photographer who made sure to take pictures of everyone.

Jared and driver Kevin were awesome. Great tour despite the cold. A must do in NYC. We would do it again. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Kevin and Jared were great guides to ensure our trip to see Christmas lights was great! Dyker Heights was incredible! 🎄🎅

This tour was so fun! Kevin is a great driver, and Jared is such a fun tour guide. I went on this expecting a light tour, but we also learned so much information about NYC as well! I would highly recommend because I had such a fun time! Also, shout out to Fred who checked us in!

We had Tanya as our tour guide and she was fantastic! Thank you Tanya we absolutely loved it! I must see in December. The fact there's a toilet on the coach was a huge help!

The tour guide did a great job, I learned so much about the city and how it was built. The lightsc at Dyker Heights are awesome and I highly recommend this tour!

Your guide Gary was so good - so much information - & humor! Definitely would go on a tour with this company & Gary again! Thanks for such a good experience.

SO MUCH FUN. We had an amazing tour guide and bus driver who made sure our safety and joy was at an all time high. Bus was clean and the people signing us in started off the tour amazingly! Highly recommend

This was a really fun tour! Dave, our guide, was so knowledgeable and made it so interesting. The lights in Dyker Heights are incredible.

The BEST tour of our entire trip! The bus ride was very comfortable, and our tour guide was great. He had tons of great info to share the entire way there, walking around, and the drive back. We stopped multiple times for photo ops, and he even offered to take photos for everyone at one of the Dyker Heights houses. The 2 stops on the return journey were beautiful spots that offered great views and photos as well.

Dave was a fabulous tour guide. He knew so much information! Making the experience even better. If you are coming to New York you got to see the dyker lights.

I would recommend this tour. Have been on a couple others, this tour guide was funny, helpful and very knowledgeable of the city. Great tour.

It was an ok experience. I don't know that it was accurately described as a heavy walking trip. Definitely not good for elderly. Never saw any decorated Christmas windows, and tour ends prior to the Rockefeller tree. Overall, decent trip if you can walk over and hour without breaks.

Dave our guide and Kevin our driver were fabulous! Dave was incredibly informative. The stops after the lights were fabulous also.

Great evening lots of lights happy and friendly and our tour guide Dave was willing to chat. Was very magical. There was a very good size of a crowd taking part.

Dave was a great guide! Very knowledgeable. The Dyker heights tour was gorgeous. Definitely a winter wonderland! Would recommend.

Experience was fantastic, great tour and lots to see! Very informative and interesting for all ages. Dress warm if it’s chilly!

I had a great time! It was very informational and Dyker Heights was amazing. I highly recommend this tour. You won’t regret it.

Garrett was our tour guide and did a great job!! Kevin drove the bus and also did an amazing job!! The lights are amazing!!

We loved it!!! Such a great way to experience other parts of the city. Tour guide was very engaging.
