| We enjoyed lights in different areas, did get off the bus to walk in the areas, got a nice ride through Brooklyn which my husband wanted to get a feel for and did, and got some good snacks at a really Italian bakery. Both of us were glad we took the tour instead of going by ourselves - got to see alot more and enjoy it more. My only thought on improvement was to drive one direction (the return trip would be best) over the Brooklyn Bridge. |

Enjoyed this tour; would recommend.

| The Christmas light displays were awesome - not only in Dyker Heights, but in Bay Ridge, also. I saw a lot of red lights in Bay Ridge (my favorite color). It was also nice stopping off in the Mona Lisa Pastry Shop. I would recommend this tour. |

| 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. |

| The lights we saw were truly excellent, as over-the-top as I anticipated. As Greeks, we would have appreciated a stop at the Greek's home, but we had a blast. The Christmas music on the bus was an excellent touch also. They were songs that actually haven't been played to death over the years! |

| 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) |

| Tony Muia is a charming young man who has a winning way with his customers, making everyone feel at home. He is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic about his subject matter, confident and able to handle the unexpected with skill and good will.
Based on our experience with the Dyker Lights tour, we plan to take Tony's other tours in the not-too-distant future. Much continued success to him! |

Fun trip, but overpriced

| Much of your experience will depend on where you call home and what you are used to seeing at Christmastime. We live in Utah where electricity is cheap and there are single-family houses galore. A large majority of the population decorates their houses with Christmas lights. Thus, we felt like this excursion merely showed us the same things we can see by driving around our home, but at a rather costly price.
However, we must say that if you live in a big city such as Manhatten, where there are few homes, this would be quite a scene. There were people on our bus from Australia who loved it and took 10 photos of each house.
One hint for Tony, if you're going to play vintage Christmas music, turn it down a bit. It was obnoxious after a while. |

| This tour really got us in the Christmas spirit. It's an event the whole family would enjoy. My parents are 80 years old and they had a great time. Tony and his crew make it a memorable event. It inspired us to start decorating the moment we got back home to California. Thanks, Tony! We'll be back next Spring for the Slice of Brooklyn pizza tour. |

| Loved the lights, hated the Mona Lisa Bakery. Worst, overpriced coffee in America.
Awful cakes. Incredibly bad service: some people from our tour sat at their table for the whole hour and never got served at all. |
