| 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 | ||||||

| 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] I am a professional Travel Agent with over 20 years of experience. Sincerely, Linda Loo | ||||||

| Much of your experience will depend on where you call home and what you are used to seeing at Christmastime. We live in Utah where electricity is cheap and there are single-family houses galore. A large majority of the population decorates their houses with Christmas lights. Thus, we felt like this excursion merely showed us the same things we can see by driving around our home, but at a rather costly price. However, we must say that if you live in a big city such as Manhatten, where there are few homes, this would be quite a scene. There were people on our bus from Australia who loved it and took 10 photos of each house. One hint for Tony, if you're going to play vintage Christmas music, turn it down a bit. It was obnoxious after a while. | ||||||

| 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 ! Dick and Vera Compton Walnut Creek, CA | ||||||

| My wife and I took Tony's tour based on the recomendation of dear friends. We were not disappointed. We went to NY for wifes 65th B'day primarily to see the Rocketts, which was great., but our Brooklyn tours rated right up there. On this tour Tony's cousin Maria was our guide. She was smart, knew what she was talking about, made the time fly, and is beautiful to boot. We liked the Neapolitan pizza best compared to the Sicilian by a lot. Maybe because it is closer to what we are used to. However the pizza itself is only the topping on a great four and half hours. We took the tour December 12, 2008. 39 degrees and blowing wind. Loads of fun in spite of. Dick and Vera Compton Walnut Creek, CA | ||||||

| My sister and I gave the tour to our mother for a Christmas present after seeing Tony on the Today show. We had never been to visit Brooklyn, and so glad we had this chance. Paula, our tour guide was wonderful, (Tony she did a suberb job). We had a great time and the pizza was good, we all preferred the thick crust pizza, with the cheese in the middle and sauce on top. Melt in your mouth good. We're considering taking the Christmas lights tour next year. See you then. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| My wife and I enjoyed this tour a lot. The tour included lots of interesting sites and nice meals. Showing parts of films with Brookling sights as we passed by them was a most. Not to mention Paola, that was an excelent guide. | ||||||

| We would definetly recommend the tour to our friends in Texas. There is nothing in Texas remotely like Brooklyn. We always stay in Manhattan and end up doing and seeing the same things. The tour was someting different to do. We would not have been able to see and do everything we did if we had gone to Brooklyn by ourselves. We especially liked seeing Coney Island and walking on that Board Walk. Our tour guide was great! She did a fine job. | ||||||

| This tour was one of the top highlights of our week long stay in New York! As two best friends from Texas celebrating 40+ years of friendship, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening. Tony, our guide, along with Big Mike as helper, were just fantastic....so personable and fun! The videos which explained the origin of the Christmas lights was a nice (and helpful) touch, and we enjoyed the really great Christmas music that Tony was playing on the bus. We had the BEST group of fellow passengers onboard....really fun and enthusiastic crowd! But the crowning touch was that it began to snow as we drove into Dyker Heights....I realize the tour company had nothing to do with the weather...haha!...but it was almost like out of a movie....walking around the neighborhood, viewing the Christmas lights, in the falling snow! Fantastic!! We got to stop at the Mona Lisa bakery on the return trip and then Tony showed us some old TV Christmas specials that were just great and brought back so many memories of past Christmases with family and friends. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone who loves Christmas, Christmas lights and just "getting into the holiday spirit"!! Thanks, Tony and Mike....you're the BEST!!! | ||||||
