About this tour

See New York sparkle on a winter evening with a guided visit to Dyker Heights, the Brooklyn neighborhood famed for its elaborate Christmas lights. Since the 1980s, residents have transformed their homes into festive displays, creating a bright, bustling holiday scene.

Travel from Midtown aboard a heated, air-conditioned motor coach with a restroom on board. In Dyker Heights, your guide leads you to Lucy Spata’s home, where the decorating tradition began, then through the neighborhood’s most illuminated streets. Spend about an hour walking, admiring the displays, and taking photos. The New York Dyker Heights Christmas Lights Tour continues to the DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights area, where you’ll have about 25 minutes to photograph the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. Return to Manhattan across the Manhattan Bridge, with the tour ending at Bryant Park Winter Village.

The ride from Midtown to Dyker Heights takes about an hour, and the tour operates rain or shine. Arrive 15 minutes early at the northeast corner of 10th Avenue and 41st Street, by Roast'd Coffee. Join the New York Dyker Heights Christmas Lights Tour for a memorable look at the city’s holiday glow and iconic waterfront views.

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 6.6.
