Magical!
Laurie_P, Feb 2024
This was such a wonderful Xmassy experience. The amount of effort put in to the decorations on each of the homes was incredible! Adding to the atmosphere was the Xmas songs played during the coach journey, and the ice cream vans parked on each corner with snow machines, selling hot chocs. Some of the residents of the homes were also in their garages selling hot drinks for a small fee, which was really nice to see. Very friendly and beautiful neighbourhood. Our tour guide, unfortunately I cant remember his name but he was German if that helps to identify him, he was very nice & friendly also. The stop off to watch the sunset on the way to Dyker was wonderful, we were very lucky to have had a clear night & could see the Statue of Liberty in the distance, with the orange/yellow sky, stunning. The stop off on the way back to see the twinkling Manhattan skyline in the darkness was amazing. Brilliant tour, would definitely recommend to people of all ages.
Full Refund
Holly_S, Jan 2023
The tour was somehow overbooked and we were unable to go. However it turned out ok for us and we received a sincere apology and full refund that same night as well as an offer to go for free if we should return to NYC. So based on their fair refund and email communication I would book with them again.
Great experience and wonderful tour guide
Michelle_K, Dec 2022
My trip to Dyker Heights to see the decorated homes was one of a kind, as the tour guide was very knowledgeable and kind throughout the entire trip. I recommend this tour for anyone interested
Fun way to get in Christmas spirit for a local
Linda_L, Dec 2022
My daughter and I always try to add a new holiday experience each year. We are local ( from NJ) but I hate driving and Brooklyn and can’t handle lack of parking. Took this tour and it was amazing way to see the lights. We had a guide who spoke German for some of the tourists and he was amazing. He was calm , friendly, informative and kept everyone together
It was good
Andy_Y, Dec 2022
Our bus did have a bathroom and the guide was very good but soft spoken. It was well organized and stress free
Worst experience
Linda_A, Dec 2022
They put us in an adult day care van for 5 hours with no restroom. They didn’t drop us off at Bryant Park afterwards. We got tired of the driver going around the block at 46th st. and finally asked to get out.
Great Experience

Sunil the operated was terrific, he was very helpful and knowledgeable, he took all the pictures for us. We had a great time thanks to him. We would recommend this tour to everyone coming to NY in December.
Experience ok
Samantha_F, Dec 2021
The tour was ok… the houses are beautiful and it is definitely an experience to see especially at Christmas. but the guide was not well organized, it did not keep the group together and some people were also lost who then did not manage to return with us on the bus
Response from Host, Jan 2022
Dear Samantha, thank you for your review. Just to correct you on one issue. No one was lost! The gentleman who did not travel back with us was visiting with his girlfriend from Atlanta, he grew up in the Bronx and was back in NYC first time since his teenage years. He was amazed on how, in meantime, Brooklyn had changed and he wanted to make his way back on his own, however he texted that to the guide a little too late, hence the extra 15 minute wait before departing back to Manhattan. We apologize if the guide didn’t have a very deep conversation with you but he had 55 guest and it is difficult to have more detailed interaction with everyone. As per not keeping the group together, as you remember the guide advised you and everyone else where and when to meet in case someone gets lost or wanted to go on its own. Some guest that night, a couple with their daughter, were natives from Brooklyn who had moved to Jersey a while ago but still knew their way around and preferred to explore the neighborhood on their own. Others just preferred enjoying the lights on their own pace (some like taking pics, others don’t like to be in large groups, some like to get a snack at the carts etc.), which we respect, cherish and do our best to please all of our guests specific needs. Hence the announcement in the beging when and where to meet. We nor force or chain our guest but next time you join us we might give it a try ;) Thank you for coming on our tour!
Beautiful - Thank you Dyker Heights

Nice trip and if you weren’t feeling Christmassy before the trip you will by the end of it! Quentin did a great job and herded his sheep very well.

benjamin_c, Dec 2021
Super expérience le quartier est juste magnifique on en prend plein le yeux Nous avions pris un guide français mais il était malade donc nous avons eu un guide allemand bon au début on était dégoûté mais il était vraiment super sympa. Il ne faut pas passer à côté de cette excursion
Dyker Heights- ein unvergessliches Erlebnis
Michael_W, Dec 2021
Die professionelle Führung, viele neue Informationen über NYC. Man hat gespürt das unser Reiseleiter die Tour gerne macht und er hat sehr kurzweilig erzählt. Angenehme Atmosphäre in einer kleinen Gruppe und als Zugabe noch ein unvergesslicher Blick auf die Skyline. Atemberaubend
Un des meilleurs moments de notre séjour new-yorkais
Jrme_J, Jan 2020
Quentin, notre guide, était vraiment au top ! Il était très compétent et a fait vivre l'excursion de façon très sympathique. Je recommande à tous cette ballade dans ce quartier illuminé qui fera fondre même le plus froid des coeurs.
Merveilleux
minechou, Dec 2019
Pas du tout déçu d avoir réservé cette visite guidée. Guide super gentille et très professionnel. Les maisons sont magnifiques. Si je devais revenir à New York à la même période, je referais cette visite.
A perfectionner
silvia d, Dec 2019
Le quartier est magnifique et ça vaut la visite. Dommage les 20 minutes de retard au départ et qu’on nous indique en cours de route que le point du départ n’est pas là où on nous laissera
