Walk Through New York's Christmas Hotspots via Subway with a Guide

This walking tour takes you through the most festive spots in New York, traveling by subway with your guide instead of a bus. It runs exclusively from December 1st to January 3rd each year, starting in Midtown Manhattan and lasting about 4.5 hours as you journey to Brooklyn.

Meet the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and Ice Rink

The tour kicks off at Rockefeller Center. Here, you'll experience New York's iconic holiday scene, complete with the famous Christmas tree, sparkling seasonal lights, and the legendary ice skating rink.

Stroll Through the Dazzling Light Displays of Dyker Heights

After exploring Rockefeller Center, you'll take the subway together to Dyker Heights in Brooklyn. This neighborhood is famous for its houses adorned with thousands of colorful lights, giant inflatable Santas, reindeer, and toy soldiers. Some homes even feature light shows synchronized to music.

Walk along the streets while your guide shares the story of Lucy Spata, who initiated the neighborhood's decorating tradition. Capture photos that make you feel like you've stepped into a Christmas movie.

Conclude Your Evening with the Manhattan Skyline from Dumbo

For those who wish, the tour's final stop is in Dumbo, offering a view of the New York skyline illuminated between the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges.
