You might think New York’s picture postcard Christmas scenes are all in Manhattan, but just over the Brooklyn Bridge is a winter wonderland waiting to surprise you. You’ll join one of our hosts to visit the local neighborhoods of Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge, where you’ll find the most extravagant Christmas lights displays you could ever imagine, then get lost in Brooklyn’s coolest holiday markets, mulled wine in hand!
Our handpicked hosts are culinary connoisseurs and history buffs, bakers and bankers, students and seniors. Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.
Your meeting place and time as well as your itinerary are flexible, so you can plan and experience with your host to meet your needs.
