5Dyker Heights Christmas Tour
The Dyker Heights Christmas Tour was an absolute highlight and exceeded all of our expectations. The Christmas decorations were truly breathtaking, and the overall atmosphere was magical. I would especially like to highlight our tour guide Ryan. He was excellent, extremely knowledgeable, and led the tour with great passion and professionalism. His explanations and stories made the experience not only informative but also very entertaining. It was clear that he genuinely enjoys what he does. Ryan played a huge role in making this tour unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour—especially with him as your guide!
5Must See in Brooklyn
Wear comfortable shoes & warm clothes. Ryan was an awesome tour guide & gave us the inside scoop for the homes. A really fun tour!
2Wrong guide
We did the same tour 2 years ago. I gave to this guy 5/5. The current guide was indifferent at the best. His comments were not interesting not funny not anything
5Even 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!
4Worth a visit
We unfortunately missed the tour due to getting slightly lost on the subway. That being said, we went anyway and really enjoyed waking the estate and would highly recommend.
5Holiday Spirit!
John was a great guide. We enjoyed the tour very much. The decorations were beautiful and the houses too. Would recommend this tour during Christmas.
