| This was a gift to my mother. She'd never been to Brooklyn before, and this was the perfect way for her to see it. Tony was enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. The only downside was Mona Lisa bakery--the service was slow. |

| 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! |

| 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! |

| One of a kind experience. At first I was unsure what the tour would be like and how you'd actually see the lights from the bus windows. However, that was unfounded as the bus does stop in areas with concentrated lights to allow everyone to get off and look closer and take photos. Tony our guide was very real and enthusiastic and knowledgeable giving just enough commentary as he pointed out the different neightborhoods from the Gowanus expressway and talked about the lighted houses as we drove by. I thought the tour was the easiest, quickest, and most relaxing way to make sure that you saw all the highlights of the decorated houses in Dyker Heights |

| The tour showed beautiful houses decorated wonderfuly, but also gave interesting history about the nieghborhoods and the people that lived there. The tour leaders were very friendly, funny and showed us a good time. |

| 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!) |
