Fun trip, but overpriced
Fri, Dec 12, 08   7:00 PM lsiebenhaar Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

Cold enough, but no snow
Fri, Dec 12, 08   7:00 PM dickc240 Male 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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

Decided we're Neapolitan's
Fri, Dec 12, 08   11:00 AM dickc240 Male 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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

The three gals enjoyed the tour
Mon, Dec 8, 08   11:00 AM CastRobin Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

Brooklyn in a new light (Christmas that is....)

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 enjoyed the tour very much.
Sun, Dec 7, 08   11:00 AM McCann Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

Christmas lights, SNOW and Tony...fantastic!
Sat, Dec 6, 08   7:00 PM texasgals Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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!!!

Brilliant Festive Tour!
Sat, Dec 6, 08   7:00 PM helendickers Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Individual
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!
Sat, Dec 6, 08   11:00 AM kimjacke Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of 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!

Exeeceded our expectations!
Sat, Dec 6, 08   11:00 AM JONNIEJK Female Unspecified Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

Excellent lights tour!
Fri, Dec 5, 08   7:00 PM MWillcox Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
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).
