Christmas Lights Tour

The tour departs at 6pm from our central office in Midtown Manhattan. From there our guide, who speaks in Italian, will accompany you to the southwestern part of Brooklyn, reaching the heart of the Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge neighborhoods. Many citizens begin their Christmas light display as soon as the sun goes down, and it lasts until they go to sleep. So when we arrive in the area, we will be able to see these extraordinary decorations in all their splendor. Children will be particularly enchanted: so many bright Santa Clauses! At the end of the three and a half hour tour, back in Manhattan, the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center will seem like a trifle (the staff says: it's still fantastic!) compared to what Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge have to offer. One last tip: it can get very cold in New York in December. To fully enjoy this tour we recommend you dress warmly!
