What the Dyker Heights Christmas lights tour bus evening looks like
The lights are the same on every bus: about an hour on foot with a guide. What differs is the stop before or after — choose the one you would like in your photos.
Brooklyn Bridge Park skyline
Most buses stop on the Brooklyn waterfront on the way back for the Manhattan skyline across the East River — a stop reviewers often mention.
Battery Park City at sunset
The best-rated bus leaves early enough to catch sunset over the harbour, with the Statue of Liberty on the horizon, before heading to Brooklyn.
Bay Ridge
A short stop in the neighbourhood next door before the walk in Dyker Heights.
Manhattan's holiday lights
A few buses take the long way through Manhattan first — Rockefeller Center, Macy's, Chelsea or the High Line — so you see the city's own decorations too.
Dyker Heights Christmas lights bus tour vs the subway
The subway costs $6 and gives you more time on the streets. The holiday lights bus tour from Manhattan costs more and takes the planning, the late ride back and the cold waits out of the evening.
Dyker Heights Christmas lights bus tour reviews
People praise the guides and not having to plan the transport. The complaints are about heat on the bus and the pace of the walk.
Very useful to have a tour, just makes transport so much easier and hassle free. Tour guide went out of way to show us extra sites, and really explained what we would be seeing. It was good fun.
The transportation was clean, comfortable and had a restroom for emergencies. The guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. The houses in Decker Heights were incredible and fantastic opportunities for photos there and down in Dumbo.

The snowstorm started at the beginning of our trip, but what's better than a white Christmas? It was a great trip to the amazing Dyker Heights

Dyker Heights Christmas lights bus tour FAQ
Is there a Dyker Heights Christmas lights trolley tour?
No tour on GetYourGuide is sold as a trolley tour; all of them run by bus or coach from Midtown Manhattan.
Is there a Dyker Heights Christmas lights tour with a ferry?
We found none. Every tour crosses to Brooklyn by road.
Can I see the Dyker Heights lights by car?
The private limo picks you up at your hotel and waits while you walk the blocks. Driving yourself means gridlock from about 5 pm and very little parking.
Can I bring luggage on the bus?
Not on the holiday-treat bus, which bans suitcases and large bags. Leave them at your hotel.
Do kids need their own seat?
On the most-booked bus, under-3s ride free on a lap. On the holiday-treat bus everyone needs a seat, and you bring your own child seat.
Does the bus tour run in rain or snow?
Yes, rain or shine; only extreme weather cancels.
When do I get back to Manhattan?
About 4 hours after departure, depending on traffic. The most-booked bus finishes at Bryant Park.
Can I see the lights from the bus?
No. The lit blocks are too narrow for coaches, so the bus parks nearby and you walk for about an hour.
