Explore DUMBO, Bay Ridge, and Dyker Heights on a four-hour New York City holiday lights tour with guided walks and a narrated bus ride.

About this tour

See Brooklyn glow with holiday color on this New York City Christmas lights tour. A narrated bus ride takes you through festive neighborhoods, with guided walks in DUMBO, Bay Ridge, and Dyker Heights, where extravagant displays, life-size Santas, and synchronized lights brighten the streets.

The tour lasts about four hours and includes a one-hour walk through Dyker Heights, plus shorter stops to explore DUMBO and Bay Ridge.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.55 from 20 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

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.
