First time in New York City and we want to start out with Christmas lights! The whole team committee was welcoming! We learned about different facts about New York and we were able to visit them the next day. Our bus kept us warm on a windy night!! Thankful for the views and the lights!! The end of our trip we had a photo off!! We can't wait to do it again!! Thanks for the humor energy!!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the holiday lights, the views, and the photo fun at the end of the tour.
Great tour with our guide Jared. He gave us a good background on the tradition and interesting facts about the holidays. Be warned that 45 min of the tour is outside so dress appropriately.
We’re glad you enjoyed the tour! It’s great to hear that Jared’s insights made the holiday lights experience even more interesting. We hope to see you on another tour soon!
Everything seemed extremely easy up until we had to find where the bus was parked. But the explanation of the directions was very valuable because it told us exactly where to meet the bus and we were on the wrong side of the road. Once we saw the bus, it was very easy and the check-in process was very very quick.
We’re glad everything went smoothly once you found the bus! It’s great to hear that the directions and quick check-in made the start of your tour easy and stress-free. Your feedback is much appreciated!
Our tour guide was fantastic, and we enjoyed every moment of the tour. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the Christmas season!

Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Sidewalks are crowded and not level. Tour guides walk fast and furious. No time to get a hot chocolate. Only time to take a quick pic of the houses and keep moving while trying not to get left behind. Had to sit on bus next to a lady with kennel cough who was not asked to wear a mask. She was blowing her nose on her bare hand and shirt because she did not have Kleenex. On way back we tried to switch seats since we were not told of assigned seating. On ride back the tour guide announced to everyone that the right thing to do to be polite was to return to our seats. So of course we did. They made us walk back to our seats while the bus was moving which is a safety concern since there was poor lighting and we were obviously not seat belted. Could have easily fallen. Not to mention we were embarrassed because he announced to the entire bus load of people and we had to do the walk of shame back to our seats and sit next to kennel cough. The bathroom onboard is a smelly rv bathroom and not luxurious as stated on the add. The bus was not at the pickup spot after seeing the lights. We had to walk around an extra 39 minutes to stay warm until the bus found its way back to us. We also did not get dropped off at Rockefeller center as stated but some other random spot. I don’t even know where we were. The lights are gorgeous and we had a nice view of Brooklyn bridge for pics.
Was a great tour great experience lots of information, we truly enjoyed seeing the beautiful lights and decorations in Dyker Heights
