| Tony is wonderful on this tour, his knowledge on Brooklyn is outstanding.
He makes it a lot of fun for everybody. It's probably one of the BEST things we did in New York, I highly recommed this to anyone.
It's the best 41/2 hours I have spent. |

| I've been to Manhattan many times, but I wanted to venture out this time and see more of the city. I don't usually take tours, but this one sounded a little off-beat, so I decided to give it a try. It was great fun. It's clear that Tony has put many hours and much energy into developing the tour, and he did a great job of making all the participants (from a family with kids to a couple of individuals like me) comfortable and engaged with the group. Best of all, the pizza was fantastic! I would highly recommend this tour...even to people who don't typically like tours. |

| I've taken tours all over the U.S. and in Paris, Rome, London, and Dublin. This tour
bests all of them. The tour guide, Tony, obviously loves Brooklyn. He describes the history, the architecture, the neighborhoods, the movie locations. I especially enjoyed his personal anecdotes regarding neighborhood characters. The highlight was the Neopolitan pizza. If you are wondering about the age of our party, I am in my forties, my daughter is in her twenties, and my son is 12. We all loved this tour. |

| Tony is a wonderful tour guide -- he's enthusiastic, entertaining and you can't help but have some of that rub off on you. In some ways, it feels as though he's taking the tour with you. He points out all the sights and shows you clips just as you're going past the locations. Tony also will tell you about anything Brooklyn you want to know, from where to get a T-shirt to where the bodies are buried (he he). He truly loves his borough.
Above all, he takes you to two wonderful pizza places that make you wish you could box some up and take it back home with you. And he rides the Cyclone with anyone who wants to go -- you have to give him bonus points for that! This tour is more than worth what he charges. My husband and I would go again in a heartbeat. |

| Those are the things that come to my mind when I think back on the tour I took. "A Slice of Brooklyn" was the highlight of my trip not necessarily because of the pizza which is good, but the knowledge, and passion that Tony gives as the tour guide is very uplifting almost spiritual. I only which i felt as passionate about something as he seems to feel about his home neighborhood. His attitude made the whole trip fun and educational. Put that with great pizza some interesting movie clips, and a ride on a great wooden roller coaster you have a recipe for fun. These are only some of the reasons you should do this tour. Others include the small group so you actually get to talk and meet people, VIP treatment at the restraunts where you get to avoid the lines and walk right in. I cannot encourage you any more than to tell you to spend your money and have some fun with A Slice of Brooklyn, you won't regret it. |

| I stumbled across this tour by chance when planning our recent trip to NYC and purely through reading the fantastic reviews (that and my love of pizza!) decided it might be a good way to start off our holiday and we were so right! Having never been to NYC before we would never have dreamed of venturing across from Manhattan to Brooklyn but this trip made it possible and it was great to see another neighbourhood.
Tony was the perfect host, very knowledgable, friendly, funny and entertaining. He did his best to ensure everyone was comfortable and enjoyed themselves. The small group (I think there were about 18 of us) made for a much more friendly atmosphere than other trips we did and it was great to sit at 2 fantastic restaurants, have some great pizza and meet new people.
The views of Manhattan from the park across the river were amazing and we got some fantastic photos and I'm recommending this trip to everyone I know who is heading to New York! |
