Lower East Side with Amanda

The tasting tour of the Lower East Side was a great experience. Amanda was a friendly, knowledgeable and funny guide, and she definitely knew her history. We learned so much, ate a lot of excellent food and enjoyed this unique part of the City. Amanda was also able to answer questions about other things to do and make suggestions for the rest of our NY visit.

Family Christmas Break

It was a great tour of the meat packing area and dyker heights in brooklyn!!!! I was a bit skeptical about the tour of the meat packing area but it was very interesting to hear about the changes that occured in that part of Manhattan over the years. All seen from the comfort of the bus. The Dyker Heights had some hill walking so keep that in mind. Well spent money, even the 17 yr old son enjoyed the lights.

Absolutely brilliant a must do when in New York.

Mohammad was a brilliant guide and was really friendly. He was waiting ready for us when we arrived. We Had a blanket to keep us warm and even had a bit of Christmas music playing which was lovely. Michelle the horse was absolutely beautiful the carriage was spotless. We really enjoyed the whole experience and highly recommend to do this when visiting New York especially at Christmas time. We had lots of opportunities to have our pictures taken which look fabulous even at the tree and got to see the light show at jacks. Thank you so much we will be doing the same next year when we visit.

Kevin!

We had a party of 7 and split up in 3 pedicabs, but rode side by side the whole time. During the ride and each stop, they spoke loud enough for all 3 pedicabs to hear. It’s basically just Central Park, but they also pointing out other movies and shows filmed in the park as well. We enjoyed it!

Brooklyn Christmas Lights Walking Tour at Dyker Heights

Nancy_A, Dec 2025

Even better than I expected!

Wow! I've been wanting to do this for a couple of years and so happy that I finally did! Ryan was a great tour guide - he's been a tour guide for I think 18 years and you could tell the enthusiasm that he had for the city, the neighborhood and this particular tour. He explained a lot of the history of the neighborhood and the lights and also was great maneuvering a large group through very crowded streets and sidewalks. Definitely recommend and so happy that I did it!

Wow!! 🤩

Loved this tour.... wow, it was an amazing experience and loved every minute of it. Wish we could have gotten longer to look round more houses as there are so many! One of my favourite things i did. Daniel was our guide and what a fabulous guy! Friendly, funny, easy to chat to on the bus, got us in the festive mood with Christmas songs. Adele was our driver and he was great too!

Brooklyn Dyker Heights Christmas Wonderland Bus Tour

Kimberly_K, Dec 2025

This is THE Dyker Heights tour to take!

The best bang for your buck experience I’ve ever paid for! Sebastian was a wonderful host. He gave us great history as we drove to and from Dyker Heights. It was a great opportunity to see more of the city too. The extra stop at DUMBO was way more than I anticipated. You get some gorgeous cityscape scenes from that point. The actual Christmas lights tour was great. The over the top decorations were so fun! Sebastian did a great job making sure we all remained together, which sometimes had to have been a challenge with other tour groups and it being dark. Wonderful, wonderful tour from beginning to end. Book it!

New York City Cocoa and Carols Holiday Cruise

Caron_A, Dec 2025

The best of Christmas!!

We had a wonderful time singing along and enjoying a warm cozy Christmas atmosphere. Staff and entertainment were wonderful. Comfortable tables with a perfect view of the bridges and the Statue of Liberty. Great photos. The "homemade" Christmas cookies were really homemade. At least they tasted like it. Really yummy. I would recommend this adventure to anyone in the city of the holidays!!
