I wanted to give this tour 5 stars, but it fell short.
The tour began with a warm and cozy tour bus on a cold and rainy evening. The tour guide, introduced himself and led us through a decent introduction. If you can get past the word "um" every two words, you'll be okay.
He explained to us the stops we would be making and we got a great laugh when he described them as the "appetizer," "main course," and dessert.
The tour itself was incredible. The houses were breathtaking and despite the cold, rainy night, we enjoyed our tour. With that being said, it was not guided.
Here's my biggest complaint. On the last stop, we got out and had an opportunity for a picture with the Brooklyn Bridge and NYC Skyline. Most of our group stayed on the bus due to the weather, but my husband and I chose to brave it. As our tour guide skipped around (literally), we asked if he could take a picture of us. He promptly said, "No." We stood there kind of shocked, until he finally said, "Ask someone else in the tour." This was a huge letdown.
Dyker Heights and the homes were incredible. The tour lacked.
