| The Brooklyn Pizza Tour is not to be missed. Tony does a great job, what a personality!
The two choices of pizza were very good, and we went away liking both of them! |

| The rains were torrential, but the pizza tour of Brooklyn was FABULOUS. Paula, our bus guide, made the 3 1/2 hour tour a delightful experience, in spite of the downpour and 50mph wind gusts. The two pizza stops (one at Grimaldis under the Brooklyn Bridge) were delicious with no limit on the amount you could eat. Stuffed with pizza, we saw a lot of Brooklyn that was used in filming movies like Goodfellas, French Connection and Saturday Night Fever. The drop-down screens on the bus showed the same scene on the film clips from the movies as the view from the bus window. Very entertaining. And the side trip to Coney Isalnd was informative.
We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour, the food, the film clips, and Paula's non-stop dialogue as we wove through the streets of Brooklyn. Thanks for turning a miserable weather day into a delightful afternoon.

| What a great time we had on this tour despite being in the wind and rain at the beginning of a terrible storm. This is largely down to the charming and well-informed Paula. The tour is pitched to perfection and above all - fun. We were really keen to acquire a sense of Brooklyn and this tour did just that with fabulous pizza and movie clips thrown in.
We can't recommend this company highly enoughand another testament to their ability is the fact that two parties on the (very comfortable) bus with us were returning clients who'd been on the tour before. |

| I first took the tour about 4 years ago when Tony was just getting started and had always wanted to go back with my son (who's now 18). I knew he would enjoy seeing another part of NYC (he did!), and he's also a big pizza fan (what teenager isn't?). I was initially disappointed to discover that our guide would be Tony's cousin, Paula, but by the time we'd crossed the bridge into Brooklyn, she'd proven herself to an equally enthusiastic and gracious host. I'd recommend this tour to just about anyone, but especially to tourists who otherwise wouldn't leave Manhattan. |

| I have lived in New York my whole life and this year for my birthday I wanted to visit New York like a tourist. The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was my party. A long time friend flew in from California and my in-laws come down from Syracuse to celebrate my birthday. They especially wanted to taste the pizza. We had so much fun. Tony, our tour guide was personable and very funny. We are experienced travelers and felt we got our money's worth and the day was well spent. I can't wait to do the neighborhoods tour. |

| We came into town for a family birthday get together. There were 12 of us celebrating while on the tour. Tony was a remarkable guide and the detail about Brooklyn was information which most people would not know. It was very informative and entertaining. The tour was organized, relaxing and the pizza was truly amazing! I would recommend the tour to anyone of any age and we wish you great success for future tours. Please thank Egore, the driver, for a perfect ride. He drives the bus with extreme precision and made all of us feel extremely safe. Thank you for a wonderful day. |

| We both really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Tony, was knowledgeable about both Brooklyn and the pizza places he took us to.
I thought that I'd enjoy getting to see the various areas of Brooklyn the most, but the pizza we had on the tour was absolutely fantastic. Especially Spumoni's. Just a shame they can't deliver to the UK.
Overall, highly recommended. |

| Tony was the perfect guide for the perfect Brooklyn tour. I had been to Brooklyn in the past, but never before had it come to life for me the way Tony could made this NY borough come to life. He knows it all and shares it with an obvious love for his hometown ..... the history, architecture, people, places, food and of course the stories .... it made for a all-around wonderful day. I'll be back. |

| What a personal and in-depth look at Brooklyn! Tony was so engaging and full of knowledge about Brooklyn. We saw interesting sights, learned history, got a sense of the cultures and some of the neighborhoods of Brooklyn, and enjoyed the two different kinds of pizza. We booked this tour because we had read good reviews, but our experience surpassed our expectations. I think of New York as Manhattan, but seeing Brooklyn presents another side of NYC -- very interesting, with much history, but less known, at least among many who do not live in the area. I enthusiastically recommend the tour. What a great experience! |
