Christmas must - Great option to see Dyker Heights. J.A was a lovely tour guide, lots of information on the drive over. When you get to Dyker Heights you have the option of walking round by yourself or following the tour guide around, which I think is a great option as you can walk round as quick or slow as you’d like as long as you are back at the bus by a certain point. We really wanted to see the houses and was considering hiring a car but felt uncomfortable due to being different side drive that what we are used to, not knowing where to go and being extremely busy so this was perfect for us. The houses and lights themselves are a MUST. They’re amazing and really get you into the Christmas spirit. Love how into the festivity some houses get. Book this trip you won’t regret it.
