Much confusion on pickup place; was Not the address on the ticket. Tour left 30-30 minutes late because of the mixup. Camila and the driver were outstanding. Ethusiastic, played music, sang and told stories. Excellent at her job. The driver was careful, changed routes when traffic was bad and overal competent
First of all, I never ever leave reviews but this needs to be said. Let me start off with the good. The tour guide, Alan, was awesome! Very knowledgeable, well spoken and very friendly overall. Now, here's the bad. The main reason why this tour was so attractive to me was because the trip included a visit to Rockefeller Christmas tree, Dumbo and Dyker Heights. Unfortunately, we only got to see one out of three of those sites, which was Dyker Heights and it was incredible! I asked the tour guide about this and the reason giving for not seeing Dumbo was that we couldn't park near it? But, we walked nearly 1.5 hrs between Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights so I imagine we could park and walk to Dumbo also. For the Rockefeller Christmas tree, there was no real reason giving except "we're not seeing it". At the end of the tour, we were told that the Rockefeller Christmas tree was about 9 mins walking distance of where we were parked. Again, we walked all thru Dyker Heights/Bay Ridge, why not walk just a little more to the tree and satisfy the commitment of what I paid for? We did walk to the Rockefeller tree to see it ourselves and it was beautiful! Lastly, the temperature in the tour bus itself was extremely hot and unbearable for the entirely time with no means to correct it. With all that being said, I cannot recommend this Christmas lights tour.
Wonderful guide and driver. Would recommend 100%!!! Gave helpful info and had a lot of knowledge of everywhere we visited.
Thanks a lot for your comment. Have a blessed 2025!!!
Loved the tour guide Camilla and the driver Henry? I think! Almost perfect time with my grands! We experienced a little glitch when a police officer asked driver to move bus while loading separating us albeit briefly from by our grands yikes😊Otherwise we all loved it! Dyer Heights was amazing!
Thanks a lot for your comment. Have a wonderful new year.
It was magical, and our tour guide was one who was really good at getting us into the holiday spirit, so full of energy and joy.
We are so glad you enjoy the tour and were able to get into the holiday spirit. We hope you a have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed new year.
Excellent Christmas lights but the guide didn’t seem to know how to lead a trip and struggled with English. The tour was sold as an English speaking guide. No clear indication of how long to stay at certain stops. One member of the group was lost for a while. We weren’t dropped off at the starting point as indicated on the trip notes. Just dropped off in Manhattan
We saw everything listed on the tour. And Hector knew so much about the area we were seeing. He was very personable and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our tour. The stop at DUMBO was magical. Thank you sooo much!!
Thanks a lot Richard we are so glad you enjoy it. Have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed new year!
Our driver was just the best. Took us to the best houses and told us all about the area and history of the lights. Definitely recommend.
Hi Heather, Thanks a lot for your comment, we really appreciate your feedback. Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year 2024. Many blessings!
Allen did an absolutely amazing job on this tour! Learned a lot about the city of New York. He is VERY, very knowledgeable!. He made the tour a lot of fun despite the fact it was crazy bitter cold tonight! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas
It was too long and our guide was filling in for his brother who was I’ll - he was Spanish so was hard to understand.
