| The Brooklyn Lights Tour was excellent! We went the last Saturday of the month and it was a perfect was to celebrate the holiday season. Tony, the tourguide, was wonderful and full of knowledge and enthusiasim, and the lights were fanatastic. We especially loved seeing the clips of old variety shows on our trip home. A great great time...thanks Tony!! |

| 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. |

| Bus : great and I'm glad he had gotten the larger-size bus that knees.
Bus driver: great & able to make those tight turns plus knows his way around.
Video presentation: great.
Audio: disappointed that we were not able to connect the radio channel to be in sync with the lights at the final house, hence a disappointing finale.
Optional: Mona Lisa Bakery: very poor rating. [ I would add that we have some in our group that had lived in Europe, been to Italy and grew up in NYC's Little Italy!]
Lousy food, bad service, but large cups of coffee.
Guide: OK, but can show a bit more enthusiam and passion. Some bare facts had already been mentioned on the other tours.
[ FYI, these are the usual specific comments that we ask our travellers]

| 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! |

| It was a side of Brooklyn that I had never seen before so, that was interesting. But, as a whole, the lights were just ok for me. I do not think the trip was worth $55. |

| 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 |

| I had a wonderful time on the tour-as a Queens native-I must say that I felt like I was in Queens and not Brooklyn. If I was to compare my block to the blocks I saw in Brooklyn-it was like comparing a full symphony orchestra to a kid banging on the drum. The homeowners are sure making Con Edison rich!!!
This is a great seasonal tour that is highly recommended for anyone who would like to add a Magnificent Christmas memory. I can't wait to go on the Brooklyn neighborhood tour and get to know another part of Brooklyn, U.S.A. |
