| I very much enjoyed the Brooklyn lights tour! The only suggestion I'd make is that we stayed too long at the bakery during the last hour of the tour.
Marry Christmas! Thanks again for the tour. |

| Whilst the lights were excellent our overall oppinion of the tour was dissapointing as
the organisation on the bus left a lot to be desired the onboard information and
entertainment was not working properly. We think the bus driver must have
been new to the job as all did not go to plan, which was obvious as Tony had to
keep telling him what to do.
The end of the eveing at Mona Lisa was awful Tony needs to look for a better
place it was drab and busy. What we ordered was not available . The stop would appear to be a waste of time( at this place)
Things were too rushed,
Tony and his mate were both very firendly tho.
For the money not worth it sorry. |

| This tour was very well organised and a great way to see the holiday lights in Brooklyn. We were lucky enought to have snow on the evening of our tour so it was very magical! Highly recommended! |

| Oh boy!! It was cold. The night sky was heavy with impending snow. The waiting bus was clean, warm, and welcoming. The hosts were personable, enthusiastic , and overflowing with Christmas spirit. The decorated homes set a tone of over the top cheer and bright, positive feeling. In a phrase- it was a wonderful night. Whoever put in the order for snow to accompany the walking segment should be awarded a holiday award for atmosphere. We loved the trip! |

| We've been on the slice of pizza tour in April 2008, when Tony informed us about the christmas light tour. So the first thing I said to my boyfriend was "we need to came back to New York around christmas time!" and so we did.
I need to confess that at first I was a bite disapointed when we heard that Tony wasn't our gide that evening, instead Rick did the tour. Which of course was also very good and much fun!
We really enjoyed the tour and where surprised how many houses are decorated!
We had snow that day, so it was even more beautiful! |

| The tour guide was not waiting on the street carrying the "A Slice of Brooklyn' clipboard. If you do need to call the emergency contact number, leave a message, then call back because they don't call you. It was unfortunate that it was a rainy evening because the windows of the bus fogged up and didn't clear up right away. Bring some paper towels because they don't have anything for you to wipe the windows. Once you're on the bus the tour is nice. You receive some interesting information about Brooklyn and see some great "stuff." (Stuff = lights) |

| The Brooklyn Lites Tour was very enjoyable. The neigborhood descriptions and personal stories were great and provided a wondeful context for the presentation of the residential lite displays. Would recommend the tour to others who enjoy learning about community and neighborhood leaders and histories. |

| I had a wonderful time on the tour-as a Queens native-I must say that I felt like I was in Queens and not Brooklyn. If I was to compare my block to the blocks I saw in Brooklyn-it was like comparing a full symphony orchestra to a kid banging on the drum. The homeowners are sure making Con Edison rich!!!
This is a great seasonal tour that is highly recommended for anyone who would like to add a Magnificent Christmas memory. I can't wait to go on the Brooklyn neighborhood tour and get to know another part of Brooklyn, U.S.A. |
