| 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. |

| The lights are astonishing for exuberance and profusion. Winter-bare trees with every branch wrapped in light are hung with lighted ornaments. At some homes every shrub, every tree in the yard, every step, every door, every window, rail, ledge, bench on the porch--everything capable of supporting a light is lit. All this light is reflected, and answered, in the faces of grown-ups as well as children.
Tony Muia, whose invention this tour is, is its soul and its greatest asset, a man remarkable for kindness, apparently unflappable good humor, and active concern for all those in his charge. |

| Heard about people in Dyker Heights really going over the top about the Christmas lights, and the story was true. It was definitely an illuminating experience in every sense of the word. The night the tour took place was relatively mild, and as a bonus, we even got to hear the church members singing carols in Bay Ridge area.
Tony was considerate enough to include the restroom stop prior to going to Dyker Heights, which was very much appreciated by several people. Because 2 people from the group went MIA in Dyker Heights, the time spent at a cafe was a bit rushed and the tour ended later than expected. If this tour was not back to back with the pizza tour earlier in the day, I would recommend it to start earlier than 7:00pm - but the logistic may be a problem. I wouldn't have minded if the pizza-to-go was included as a part of this tour with an additional fee. The timing of the tour made it a bit difficult to find a time for a bite beforehand. The Christmas tree at the Rockfeller Center is fine to look at, but this tour is something else altogether, both for the locals and the visitors. |

| 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! |

| 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. |

| The lights are spectacular and Tony provides a warm, funny commentary. The tour has a very relaxed feel to it and it is a real bonding experience. If you get the chance, it's worth every penny! |

| The Christmas Lights tour did not disappoint. We took the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour two years ago and enjoyed it so much, we booked this one. Once again, Tony showed his amazing knowledge of his beloved Brooklyn. Who knew there were so many beautiful, lavish neighborhoods in the county that usually gets a bad rap! Without giving any of the fun away, one neighborhood was so elegantly decorated it took your breath away. The other neighborhood on the tour, while beautfully decorated also had it's bit of Christmas lights 'tackiness', which just made it more enjoyable being able to have a good laugh. Tony interacts with each and every member of the group and is so personable, only a scrooge would not have a great time. If you aren't in the Christmas spirit when you board the bus, you certainly will be when you step off. Kudos, Tony, for a job well done. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. |
