See Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge shine on a 210-minute New York Christmas lights tour with an Italian-speaking guide.

About this tour

As dusk settles over New York, Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge transform into a dazzling display of Christmas lights. This 210-minute New York Christmas Lights Tour takes you from Midtown Manhattan to the festive streets of southwestern Brooklyn, where glowing decorations and bright Santa figures bring the season to life.

Meet your Italian-speaking guide in front of the tour office in Midtown at 6:00 PM, then travel to the heart of Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge. Residents begin switching on their displays after sunset, so you can take in the lights at their brightest. After exploring the neighborhoods, return to Manhattan, where even Rockefeller Center’s famous Christmas tree may seem modest by comparison.

The tour lasts three and a half hours. Arrive 15 minutes early, and dress warmly for the December weather. Choose this New York Christmas Lights Tour for an evening of festive neighborhood scenery and memorable holiday sparkle.

How this score is calculated

This tour scores 4.17 on GetYourGuide (Viator shows no usable rating). Ratings on these sites cluster near the top of the 5-star scale, so we compare each one with all other ratings on the same site before combining them.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.5.
