Wonderful Winter Wonderland - This was such an added bonus to our trip. Tour guide was fabulous as was the driver. Got to see an entire different way of living as we are from Texas. The Xmas lights were incredible and so much fun. So nice to walk around and enjoy them. Tour guide was wonderful and gave us soo much information about New York and Brooklyn. An added treat was to stop at the Brooklyn Bridge and take gorgeous pictures at night! Try this you will love it!

We all really enjoyed... - We all really enjoyed this trip!! Steve was an excellent guide and was very helpful. It was great to visit Brooklyn and see a different area within New York. The stop off at DUMBO was great and just enough time to get some decent photos.

Fun tour and lots and lots of Christmas lights - This tour picks up in central Manhattan and a small coach drives out to Dyker Heights. The journey takes less than hour where you disembark and walk around Dyker Heights which is full of houses with Christmas lights and decorations. The walking fairly easy but you do need to keep an eye on the guide as there any several other walking tours in the area.
Be prepared for walking outside and to possibly be cold. There are no refreshments or toilets on the walk although there is a toilet on the coach.
The guide was friendly and informative and pointed out areas of interest in Manhattan and Brooklyn as we drove along making the journey really interesting. Our guide knew a lot about food in New York (not sure why there is not a food tour as this would be great). Lovely evening, got us in the Christmas mood.

Spanish Tour - We did the spanish tour with Rafael and it was great! He was very knowledgeable the whole ride there, gave us so much information. He was a great guide once we started walking around Dyker Heights, so many houses to see and very beautifully decorated. Would recommend.

Not a good choice in January - I went on 1/3 and feel it was misrepresented. Many homes had minimal lights on. Would not recommend post Christmas.
