  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.

  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.

• A different view of NY Christmas Lights!

  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.

  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.

  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..

• Must do Christmas experience
