Charming, really enjoyed the tour! P.s Mike helped me out big time by giving me locations and holding the bus back a little for me to propose to my now fiancée.

I took my mum to NYC as she has always wanted to experience Christmas there and the Dyker Heights tour did exactly that! If you love Christmas & Decorated Houses this is definitely the tour for you. We were in awe with the amazing decorations, some where even animated and interactive! & the tour guides were amazing too. My mums face when she saw the houses come to life as the sun set made the whole trip! Highly recommend and if/ when we ever visit again I will definitely book this again.
