Overview

No question that the beguiling lights of Dyker Heights that you will spend an hour enjoying are the highlight of the tour, but there is much more.

Like no other, this tour will also weave through the holiday streets of lower Manhattan. Rolling through neighborhoods, like Chelsea, the Meatpacking District, Dumbo, Nolita, Soho, NoMad, and the Village. Your tour leader, your guide, is an experienced guy and will keep you interested and entertained.

Manhattan-bound after the dazzle of Dyker, you'll stop at Fulton Ferry Landing to be awed by the crystal clear views of Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge. Here It feels like you can reach across the East River and touch the city.

Later, after crossing Manhattan Bridge and heading North through Chinatown and the Bowery, you'll walk through Washington Square and see the Village tree. It's then onto the one, the only, Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. I

There, the tour ends.

"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!" CCM

Great option to see Dyker Heights. J.A was a lovely tour guide, lots of information on the drive over. When you get to Dyker Heights you have the option of walking round by yourself or following the tour guide around, which I think is a great option as you can walk round as quick or slow as you’d like as long as you are back at the bus by a certain point. We really wanted to see the houses and was considering hiring a car but felt uncomfortable due to being different side drive that what we are used to, not knowing where to go and being extremely busy so this was perfect for us. The houses and lights themselves are a MUST. They’re amazing and really get you into the Christmas spirit. Love how into the festivity some houses get. Book this trip you won’t regret it.
