A Slice of Brooklyn Bus Tours

I found the cost for tour not worth the money Perhaps international travelers would enjoy most The cost of 55 per means a couple at 110 dollars or Family of four 220 You Could rent a car for day w gps and drive around not Only Brooklyn but other areas in NY and still have Money for a meal drink dessert Guide wasn't informative it may of been better W some real history and the amount of actual Lights was not as expected for the build up I will say a few homes did have Hugh figures Out front their homes and we enjoyed those the Cannoli was ok the bar it was served in was not We expected a lovely pastry shop, such as in Little Italy Next time I have a visitor from out of Town I will just do what I usually do and drive Around neighborhoods for fun in my car As the tour guide said "forgetaboutit"

Paula or Tony would have made this tour an EXCELLENT tour.

This was one of the highlights of our visit to New York. The decorations were just amazing and so beautiful. Not just one house here and there but entire neighbourhoods of twinkling lights and festive decorations. The bus was very comfortable and the tour host was enthusiastic and with lots of local knowledge and obviously loved taking people around this Christmas wonderland! My whole family thoroughly enjoyed this tour and we all highly recommend this activity if you are in New York at Christmas time.

This tour was really fun and what beautiful lights! Our tour guide made the trip fun and she also gave us some history of the area. We also had time for some really great photos too!

My husband and I enjoyed the Christmas Lights and Cannoli Tour but not as much as the Brooklyn Pizza Tour. It was interesting to see Brooklyn neighborhoods that were unfamiliar to us. Many of the houses were very impressive, and the light displays were over the top. The videos were sort of corny and not as locale specific as on the other tour. The guide, Angela was competent but not as much fun as the previous guide, Paula. The cannoli and hot chocolate were okay, but the way they were served was very perfunctory. It would have been better to have a choice of beverages such as coffee, water, etc. The bus was very clean and comfortable, and the driver was excellent. Overall, it was a fun evening.

Great Family Friendly Fun. Everyone loved the lights and I enjoyed the tour more than I expected to.

This tour was one of my favorite parts of our Christmas trip to NYC. The tour guide was well informed and gave all kinds of details about Brooklyn. When I asked her to snap a photo of me & my boyfriend, she took us around to all her favorite photo spots and was very helpful. The bus driver did an excellent job navigating through traffic. The lights were breathtaking & really put us in the Christmas spirit. And the cannoli was the best ever! Definitely would recommend to anyone who would like to do something different in New York and loves to see Chriatmas lights and decorations.

My wife & I did hot realize that Brooklyn had such beautiful homes that celebrate Christmas with such vigor.

Our family liked the tour and I would recommend it. It started right on time. The bus was comfortable and the neighborhoods we visited had wonderful Christmas light displays. This tour was particularly nice after spending a long day walking around the city.

We really enjoyed the Christmas Lights Tour - the guide was very informative and was able to provide lots of background information on the area and individual houses which made it much more enjoyable and added to the experience - this would have been missed if you had driven around yourself! The Tour was just the right amount of time and you had opportunities to walk around yourself and take photos etc!! Would highly recommend!!

Seeing all of the lights and the effort put forth was enjoyable. Put us in the holiday spirit for sure. Would have never found all of the sites we saw on our own.

We enjoyed this tour very much. We had our 3 year old daughter with us who was delighted to receive a candy cane as a welcome gift. The tour guide was very upbeat and showed us gems of lighting decoration with lots of humour and valuable inside information. A truly fun tour that gets you in a Christmas mood. The duration of 3,5 hours was just right and it was never boring. It was a magical experience I would definitely recommend it, also to parents with smaller children. Our daughter loved seeing all the Christmas lights and amazing displays. Thumbs up!

I was hesitant to pay $55 (each) for my husband and myself to go on this tour. We're New Yorkers and had heard about the tour last year but didn't get tickets before they sold out. It was worth the wait, however, and totally worth the money. Our tour guide was great...and made the bus ride to and from Brooklyn fly by with stories and some great holiday video clips. It really is an insider tour...with all sorts of insights about the neighborhoods you're visiting. And it isn't just Dyker Height you get to visit...there are several other stops along the way as well. Plenty of time is allowed for photo opportunities as well. The lights were amazing, the cannoli was delicious, and the tour was great! Highly recommended!!

Although we deem ourselves to be the anti-tour and anti-tourist trap travelers, we thoroughly enjoyed the Brooklyn Christmas Lights Tour. We became interested in this tour after we went on the Brooklyn Pizza tour and because of family history emigrating from Italy and settling in Brooklyn. Both tours are the epitome of not being touristy. You feel like you are visiting family far away, and they escort you to see the sights of their hometown. Paula and Tony's demeanor are genuine, friendly, interested, and warm. They entertain you with Brooklyn history and culture, and maintain a small business personal approach. I hope they continue to manage these tours and not get too syndicated! The tour was comfortable, easy to find, and well worth the price. The lighting displays in the Brooklyn neighborhoods are fantastic. But the best part is that you see the beauty and hominess of Brooklyn neighborhoods; rather than the big city feel of Manhattan. Now that we have done these two tours, and are tired of Manhattan, we are ready to explore Brooklyn further on our own. I would recommend this tour to anyone ages 6 and up. There is some walking, but you can see the lights from inside the bus too,

This tour is absolutely fabulous! You will see wonderful clips of Brooklyn and Christmas on you way to Brooklyn. Then you will see fabulous Christmas sights in Bay Ridge and then Dyker Heights. You get to walk around and really experience Dyker heights. You can snap as many photos as you like. And you end the tour with a cannoli and hot chocolate. The charming and lovely Paula was our tour guide. Tony, the owner, is equally terific! Go, run, to this tour!!!
