Description

New York is one of the few cities in the world that offers emotions at any time of the year you decide to visit it but there is certainly a better time than the others and it is the month of December. It is as if the big apple and Christmas become a single soul that finds its maximum expression in the famous neighborhood of Dyker Heights, in Brooklyn. What is special about Dyker Heigths? The ability to experience Christmas, embracing it with a series of thematic decorations that cannot be expressed with words because the magic that this place offers is unique in its kind. The owners of the houses in this neighborhood have been carrying on the tradition of lights for a long time and have made Dyker Heights a very important tourist destination. Our Tour will take you to Brooklyn every day at 4:00 pm and for four hours you can immerse yourself in the brilliance and beauty that the illuminations of Dyker Heights will give you. The tour ends at Bryan Park (40 St & 6 Av).

Dyker Heights doesn’t disappoint!

Seeing the Dyker Heights Christmas Lights were on our bucket list! My husband and I had heard about it, but had never gotten to experience it. We live close by but thought a tour would be the way to go! We’d taken Viator in Europe many times so why not New York? We were not disappointed. Thank you again Viator! Comfortable travel, knowledgeable guides make a perfect adventure. Viator never disappoints!

Inadequate information.

We were not told it was a walking tour. We had to pay $80 to Uber back to our hotel. The description did not mention walking. We thought we would drive around. Our tour guide was nice. Not worth what we spent. My husband & I are seniors.😡😡

Amazing!!!!!

This tour was everything! We even did it in torrential rain, but nothing could ruin the atmosphere of Dkyer Heights. Brilliant tour guide and brilliant neighbourhood with their efforts.

Worth to do!

Jonathan is a great guide for the italian tour! Highly recommend the experience! You need to consider 4 hours in total. Many people around the area, but well organized.

3 of our group had to be left behind due to overbooking on your part

Jonathan the tour guide was excellent & knowledgeable. Lights were great. The thing is that we booked the tour for 7 of us friends who traveled into the city for hours and the bus barely fit 4 of us (we had to sit separately) and 3 had to be left behind after driving hours.

We are sorry to read this inaccurate review. Your group was running late, so we were kind enough to wait for you for 10 minutes. 3 other people in your group were very late and therefore did not attend. Our bus was not full and we had several buses to accommodate extra customers if needed. Passing off a mistake not ours as such is not nice as we all work very hard to make you enjoy a good tour. Anyway we hope that the Christmas lights have left you with a nice memory. Regards.

The Christmas spirits in Dyker Heights beat out the cold of December

They couldn't find my name in the list so organizer called so many people involved of the tour. I ended up hoping from one bus to another just to know which tour I belong. I booked English-German tour but ended up with English-French group. Hellen was the tour guide. She's nice and tried to explain well the history of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Very attentive and fun. Dyker Heights is so alive during Christmas season. The temperature is very cold so please bring on your thickest coat ever.

Operator response

Thanks for joining our tour. The Christmas date is the most requested but we try to sort all the buses in the best possible way. We are happy that you enjoyed the tour and hope it has created some good memories. Thanks and happy new year!
