| We had a wonderful time viewing the Holiday Lights of Brooklyn. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgable and also sensative to and accomodating of our issues with the "cold" weather last Sunday night. The light displays were fantastic!!! We would definitely recommend it. |

| The joy of Christmas is well demonstrated with Love and Happiness. The time taken by these family can only say one thing, They are united as a family. I am going to recomend it to my family and friends. It was our first time and not the last.
Thank you Brooklyn for the pleasure of enjoying your lights. |

| This was a really good tour, I recommend it to anyone. I was travelling alone but it was a really safe and friendly tour. The guides were fantastic and entertaining and the coach was comfortable and the driver was great, even navigating round the smaller streets of Brooklyn. There was some great entertainment in the coach in the form of a documentary about the Dyker Heights/Bay Ridge lights. The lights themselves when we got there were awesome. It even started snowing which added to the festive feel. After a good look round at the lights we were taken to Mona Lisa cafe so we could buy a coffee and cake. |

| This tour was the best of several Christmas lights tours my family has done. The tour director, Tony Muia, was easily the best tour guide I have ever had the pleasure of taking a tour with, and I've done little tours all round the world. He was so knowledgeable and personable, I even remember his name! The Places in Brooklyn he took us to to see the lights were amazing. I have never seen homes decorated with as much enthusiasm and next level productions anywhere! The sense of community was astounding, as Mr. Muia described how the lights were not only an aesthetic monument of beauty but also an almost tangible sense of community. I don't know if another tour guide could have conveyed that same feeling in as moving a way as Mr. Muia did. I will be coming back to take any tour he gives! |

| Well organised, friendly crew. The lights are amazing and well worth a look. There is an intro video/documentary on the journey that sets the scene well and on the way back all the Christmas favourites to sing along to (singing optional!) |

| 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! |

| My wife and I took this tour December 12, 2008. It was cold ! If only it had snowed. On this night Tony was filming with Samantha Brown for the travel channel so we started out with Uncle Louie. It was my wifes birthday and the entire crew of the bus knew that ahead of time. Made her feel great.
Tony was able to join us about half way through the tour in Bay Ridge. We then went on to Dyker Heights. The light were "over the top"
This is something everyone should do. It is hard to believe that so many people could get involved with decorating their homes to the degree we saw.
We took the Pizza tour and the Lights tour on the same day. That's a whole day and an evening spent in Brooklyn. We feel like natives.
Thanks Tony !
