We liked the tour. Yes it was crowded, but that’s what was expected. We got the info we needed. Took a lot of pictures. The most important thing is our grandkids like it.

Max was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable of the lights, the areas of Brooklyn he showed us, and New York City as a whole. He was funny, enthusiastic, and did everything he could to make a freezing cold evening feel warm and cosy
