About this trip

 

Brooklyn Lights ...Rockefeller Center? FUHGETTABOUDIT!

Wednesday, December 18, 2024

If you want to see some of the most extravagant Christmas light displays in the country, you need to come to the Dyker Heights section of Brooklyn known as "Dyker Lights." Over 100,000 people flock to this area every year! Some homes have even been featured on TLC's "Crazy Christmas Lights." Visit Lucy Spata's house. Lucy started the tradition of "Dyker Lights" back in the 80's. See the Polizzotto home, featuring the largest Santa in the neighborhood at 15 feet tall! Enjoy millions of lights! They are even synchronized to music at Robert DeLauro's house! Check out Sam the Greek's house, best described as "Christmas meets Las Vegas!" If this tour doesn't get you in the Christmas spirit then your name is Ebenezer Scrooge! This tour always sells out early so don't miss out! An amazing Italian dinner will be enjoyed before the tour at Tomasso’s.

We had a wonderful time on the trip to Newark Basilica. The Ballantine House was very interesting, the meal at Adego Grill was excellent, and the Cathedral Carol Sing was so beautiful. Thank you, Faith and John for all your hard work this past year. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy Happy New Year, and looking forward to many more adventures with Garden State Getaways. Kathie and Barbara

We did have a wonderful time in Boston - awesome adventures, great weather and touring, and made some new acquaintances. Thank you Faith as we always wanted to see the Boston Pops and now we have as we can check that off out bucket list. This was our first overnight with you and it won't be our last. Frank and Nancy B.

It was a lovely show. Other th a n that it was a nightmare. Bus was late at Westerly, which put us in NYC 5 minutes before the show started. Christmas tree lighting that night so could not go anywhere. Streets blocked off, stores closed.
By SUSAN M for Radio City Christmas Spectacular on Dec 09, 2024
Glad you enjoyed the show! Unfortunately with the terrible shooting a few blocks from Radio City that morning, along with the tree lighting that night, many roads were blocked/closed and traffic was very heavy. Sorry your experience was not what we had planned. Happy Holidays!

Joy To The World on Dec11, 2024 in Lancaster, PA. A perfect day trip! Lunch at the Amish home was delicious. The show was superb. We had a great time. Very well managed by Vikky.

In May, I traveled with GS Getaways to Brooklyn, Philadelphia twice and a multi-day tour to Long Island. Each experience was unique, interesting and well run. The excellent step-on guides and docents greatly enhanced the knowledge and appreciation of the sites, and the special meals or restaurants were carefully chosen. It was also fun getting to know so many fellow travelers and reconnecting with a few from previous trips. Thank you, Faith and company! Lois D.
