The tour was full and Bruce was very welcoming and accommodating. The tour started in manhattan and did not tour any of manhattans Xmas lites. We went straight to Brooklyn but Bruce was full of interesting stories of the area on the way. We got to drive past some beautiful houses and then stopped at Dyker Heights to walk around. This was wonderful and we seemed to have lots of time to take photos. Ronnie joined the tour here and made sure we did not get too lost. She also took many photos for us and suggested good spots. My kids 10 & 12 loved the tour. The finale of a hot choc & cannoli was yummy too. A great way to start Christmas. |

I had read so many great things about this tour and the area known for it's lights, so decided to book a tour for my friends and I to get into the christmas spirit.
This tour gets you in that from the moment you step on the bus, loved the candy can given out as you board the bus.
The tour guide was excellent (had done a pizza tour a few years back and still the same energy levels and excitement). Very knowledgable about the area and the people behind the lights which is nice to hear as you drive by the neigbhour hoods.
You are given enough time to get out and walk around and take photos which was nice as you were not stuck on the bus looking from afar.
Afterwards the hot chocolate and cannoli went down a treat. |

The lights tour was the highlight of our stay in NYC! Paula, our guide, was outstanding. And the driver got us around safely and greeted each passenger every time we got off the bus and back on after a walk around the neighbourhoods. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone...even native New Yorkers!
Thanks for making this a memorable trip!

The Christmas Lights tour of Brooklyn far surpassed all expectations. It was over the top, off the hook, shut the door, can you believe it good. Seeing the neighborhood in the bus was one thing, but then being able to actually walk the streets and see up front and personal the lawn decorations added another dimension to it all. And the cannolis and hot chocolate at the tour's conclusion was the frosting on the cake. Can't wait until next year to do it all over again. |

I had no idea that all the displays where professionally done or just plain CRAZY! It is a must see. I hope to do this every year at Christmas. It is better than Rockefeller center. Please let me know where I can get those great CANNOLIS and what was the name of that pizza place we stopped at. I want to go back and try their pizza. It smelled soooo good |

This tour was fantastic, we would have had no chance of doing it ourselves. The lights are beautiful and very over the top. The stories behind how they started are also very interesting.
This was certainly a memorable way to start our Christmas holidays in New York |

I have to say this has been one of the most "worth it" tours I've been on in a while. The price was very appropriate for what we did and the local knowledge of our tour guide was great! Also the cannoli was delicious! |

The tour was amazing. Lights like I have never seen. Some so elegant, some so outrageous. It was a jaw dropping moment from begining to end. Not to mention the cannoli and hot chocolate were a great finish to a wonderful evening. |
