Steve was the best! - Great night out. I read reviews about people getting lost and not keeping up with the group...we stopped for an ice cream and walked at our own leisure. While there are many lights and people, it ain't times square...it's a couple of blocks of houses and if you can't find your way back to the bus, maybe New Mexico might be a better holiday destination fit than New York.
Steve was a fantastic host and the bus trip was relaxing and informative. The stop at Brooklyn bridge is the highlight.

Star lights, Sky bright! - Better in person than viewing the pictures. Pictures are nice but does not give the real in-person view. It was fantastic!

Holiday Cheer - Our guide was very knowledgeable. It was hard to hear the guide with a large bus group walking outside. Consider having participants tune in to an assigned radio station to hear the guide.

Value for money. - Great views of the houses at Dyker heights. Alan our guide was very good and helpful. The bus was not in a very good condition, as it was very old and noisy.

Great trip to Brooklyn to see Dyker Heights - Tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. Made it fun for everyone. It was like being a tourist in our own city. The driver was great too. Very nice perk with Brooklyn Bridge stop and great music coming into Manhattan.

Disappointed - Very disappointed with this tour. I was so looking forward to it but it was rushed from start to finish. Far too many people, no time to take in our surroundings and have proper photo opportunities and actually enjoy what we were looking at. Not physically possible to walk, take photos, and keep an eye on where our guide was. It was a relief to get back on the bus!

Dyker Heights - The experience of seeing the home Christmas decorations at Dyker Heights. Our guide could have been better prepared as it was difficult to follow her amongst the hundreds of visitors at Dyker especially at night. Guide must have been new and could have done a better job as a guide.

Don’t waste your time and money on this tour. - If you go on this tour, be aware, you spend 3/4 of your time riding on a bus through New York traffic. Our Tour Guide was pretty weak and that the amount of information that he gave was limited. When we finally got to the area in which we were to look at the lights. There were so many people that he did a very poor job of keeping us together. At one point, he left the group without instructions to find a few lost people who had fallen behind in the crowd. Some of the lights were impressive, most of the houses were overdone, and became too much for my taste.
