Debbie was an Awesome Guide

Carrie_S, Jan 2023

We took this adventure on a rainy night and everyone cancelled but 2 of us. Debbie Mason was amazing. Her knowledge of the city, upbeat tour was great. She covers so many must see sights, and evening is THE time to see NY ... it was spectaculor

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Although our response is a bit delayed, we'd like to thank you for taking the time to review your holiday tour. We are elated to know that you enjoyed your experience with your Guide, Debbie. Now that you've seen Manhattan's spectacular holiday lights, we would love to have you with us again; this time to explore the amazing holiday lights of Dyker Heights, Brooklyn. We will be adding the new tour this later this year. Dyker Heights is a residential neighborhood. Each December, bus loads of visitors flock to the area to view the neighborhood's over-the-top holiday lights, decorations and seasonal displays. It truly is spectacular! Should visit NYC again, we would be delighted to have you tour with us, again. Please keep a eye out for this tour and others, from My NY Tours. Wishing you and your family all the best of health, happiness and prosperity in 2023, and beyond! All our best!

Until then, the My NY Tours family wishes you and yours an incredible New Year that is blessed with great health, laughter, love, fun memories and the realization of dreams! All the best!
