Christmas lights, SNOW and Tony...fantastic!

| 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!!! | ||||||

| This was a really good tour, I recommend it to anyone. I was travelling alone but it was a really safe and friendly tour. The guides were fantastic and entertaining and the coach was comfortable and the driver was great, even navigating round the smaller streets of Brooklyn. There was some great entertainment in the coach in the form of a documentary about the Dyker Heights/Bay Ridge lights. The lights themselves when we got there were awesome. It even started snowing which added to the festive feel. After a good look round at the lights we were taken to Mona Lisa cafe so we could buy a coffee and cake. | ||||||

A taste of NYC with friends!

| What a wonderful way to experience a taste of NYC! A great tour filled with facts, history, trivia, tasty food, and new found friends. Our tour guide Paula, gave us a true insiders view of all the places you've heard about, and have seen in films and NY stories. She was an added treat! The food was plentiful and delicious. Tucked away and popular with all those in the know, it was too tasty for words! The restaurant staff were all friendly and quick to answer questions. Pizza like you've never had. Only in NYC! We never would have experienced this extraordinary pizza without this tour, and the wonderful folks who organized this trip! This is our second year of participating in the tours and have yet to be disappointed! Don't miss out on this great NY extravaganza. I've already recommended it to my family and friends who will be visiting the city soon! We loved it! | ||||||

| Our group of six family members and friends (female, ages 40-65) really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, professional and FUN! She entertained us for 4.5 hours and we're so glad we chose this event. The tour bus was SO comfortable and nice and the Pizza was really good! They took us to areas we would not have seen if we had missed this. Loved the connections shown in the video clips. | ||||||

| This tour is just as good as the pizza tour that Tony does. The lights we saw were fantastic. I grew up in places where people went all out, but what they do in Brooklyn is nothing like I've seen before. It's crazy, ridiculous, fantastic - but great! Just bundle up if it's a cold night so you don't end up back on the bus (like a few on our tour ended up doing). You don't want to miss out. There isn't a lot of walking, but there is a point where you do walk a little bit to see some of the places that the shuttle doesn't take you too. Enjoy! 100% recommended (and definitely take the pizza tour also if you haven't done so). | ||||||

EXCELLENT-ENTHUSIASTICALLY RECOMMEND

| The tour guide, Tony, was excellent. The tour was well organized, on time, and more than met our expectations. We visit New York twice a year and take several tours each time. The Christmas Lights Tour was more beautiful than one would expect , and we were given the opportunity to walk through several neighborhoods and meet several of the home owners who had decorated. Also, we stopped at a local family run restaurant which gave us opportunity to experience the local fare. Being from out of town, it is important to us that we always know exactly where and when the tour starts and ends so we can get transportation to our next destination. I was impressed that at the end of the tour Tony asked all of us if we knew exactly where we were and if anyone needed help with instructions for transportation. We have ended other tours in the middle of nowhere which is quite disconcerting to those not familiar with New York. Our best rating goes to Tony and the Christmas Lights Tour. | ||||||

A LITTLE PRICEY

| THE ONLY THING PROVIDED WAS TRANSPORTATION, YOU HAD TO PURCHASE YOUR OWN FOOD AT THE PASTRY SHOP STOP. THEY PROVIDED EXCELLENT TRANSPORTATION HOWEVER AND WERE VERY KIND AND HELPFUL. | ||||||

| This was the first time we had ever taken a food tour and it will not be the last. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every moment of both the bus tour and the food stops. We will be back to enjoy another one of your tours. | ||||||

Good overview, albeit lacking in depth ...

| It wasn't the pizza, but rather the bus tour of Brooklyn which highlighted this outing. We walked underneath the Brooklyn Bridge and walked along the boardwalk in Coney Island, driving through fascinating and diverse neighborhoods in between. The pizza angle was not emphasized; and this was OK with me. Nevertheless, if you are a serious foodie you may be unsatisfied. We stopped at two places: (a) Grimaldi's for Neapolitan-style and (b) Lombardi's for Sicilian-style. The visits were strictly dining-room. No one from either establishment met with us for Q&A or to show us the kitchens or ovens. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour myself; but then again I signed on more for the Brooklyn experience than to learn about the NY pizza scene. | ||||||

Yummmmmm

| The pizza was delish, Maria was fun and full of fascinating Brooklyn-lore. We luv'd Grimaldi's pizza with the thin crust and the creamiest mozzarella we've ever had, contrasted by the pizza at L & B Spumoni with the thicker gooey crust and perfect sauce. AT L & B Spumoni ask for the "combination" spumoni which will give you all three flavors - did I say yum. We had a great group of folks on the tour with us from all over the U.S. My husband and I will definitely be back to visit Brooklyn -- hopefully next time we can take friends with us on the tour again. We highly recommend the tour! Thanks, Maria for a great time!! | ||||||

| Tony was a great tour guide with a wealth of information to share with us about his native Brooklyn. I especially liked how we were shown the clips of movie scenes of areas we were passing and also the wonderful Sicilian Pizza. Highly recommended! | ||||||

| Five sisters-in-law from Louisville, Kentucky loved this tour. Tony was absolutely perfect, full of insider knowledge about Brooklyn. The film clips are a great addition, especially for a movie buff, and seeing the actual places where scenes in famous movies were filmed was really cool. The history behind the pizza places we visited was so interesting and the pizza was awesome. I have visited NYC numerous times and this was one of the most special things I have done. You should go on this tour. | ||||||

Real Enjoyment in the Bustle of the City

| We really enjoyed this tour. The only thing we had to say was the pizza was delicious but it was served too close to each other. I expect to come back to this tour with my husband in July. That's how much I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed seeing the expensive part of N.Y. City that I was surprised to see and also Coney Island, which I have been anxious to see for years. I was great to see Brooklyn, because I know I would never have seen it no matter how many times I came to the city. So we thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour. | ||||||

| My husband and I are both from Brooklyn and we wanted to show our grandchildren where we were brought up. Tony has put together a great tour we had a lot of fun and our grandkids had fun and lots of pizza. We leared a lot but also was entertained. Tony was the best guide ever. We were the only locals the rest of the tour was made up of people from Austrlia, Germany, and Ireland and they loved it as well. We plan to do another tour in the spring. | ||||||
