| We have traveled all over the world and this is, without a doubt, one of, if not the best, tours we have taken. Tony is wonderful, friendly, fun and full of great information. The work he has put into this trip with the relevant music and video clips of movies that were made in Brooklyn does nothing but enhance the experience. AND, the pizza stops were so good! Two different types of pies to experience. Don't miss it! |

| I have been on other tours during our trips to NYC, but this is by far the best. It is well worth the money. The pizza would cost a lot on it's own but it is included in the price. Tony is a wonderful tour guide and really puts his heart into the presentation. I only wish that I could be back in NYC to take his Christmas Lights Tour. Some of the other people on the tour were repeat customers. When we talked to some of the "repeaters" before the tour I was thinking it rather foolish of them to keep coming back. After we had such a good time I could see why. If we get back to NYC I will definitely be a repeat customer myself! |

| The New York Mets baseball team had pitcher Tom (Seaver) Terrific. The borough of Brooklyn has Tony Terrific. (And his new sexy black bus.) Tony pitched a no-hitter, a perfect tour. Tony and Brooklyn together are a perfect union. My husband and I have lived in Brooklyn all our lives. In fact, we live just a few neighborhoods away from Tony. We were delighted to be introduced, by a master, to parts of Brooklyn we didn't really know. Tony is bright, interesting and entertaining. He, also, has an Italian dessert named after him: BISCUIT TOR-TONY. Does it get any better than that? Yes, when you take Tony's A Slice Of Brooklyn Tour. |

| All kudos to the tour director. He was knowledgeable, interesting with a fine sense of humor. Right out of central casting.
We are from Arizona, and the tour of Brooklyn was wonderful.
Surprisingly, the only downside, and this is minimal, was the pizza. And probably pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage, and anchovies would have solved that problem. |

| A great tour to learn about a little known boro. Tony constantly told fascinating tidbits about places our bus was driving through, oh, and the pizza was good also. |

| Carol and I loved it. Tony and James were excellent. The group and bus were just the right size. My son and I are coming back to New York in March and I am going to take the tour again with him. The TV screen on the bus was way more than I expected. Tony should let James tell his bay gulls (bagels) joke on every tour.
Can not beat the price. I would like to have stayed at Coney Island a little longer.
Please add Jrs Cheesecake to the tour. Tony and James kept the tour fresh and lively.
My rating from 1-10 is 20. |

| I was a little wary of how good this tour would actually be to be honest. Although having now done the tour, I must highly recommend this to any person visiting New York and the surrounding areas. I am disabled, however there were no really long walks etc, however I would possibly recommend to Tony that he gets a bus with lower steps on it, as the steps on the bus did prove a struggle. I guess New York doesn't really cater for disabled people, what with its bustling non stop daily life.
Now back to the tour itself .... Tony and Jimmy were great fun. Tony constantly spoke to the group at all times, and informed of places where movies had been made etc. I couldn't believe that so much had actually taken place in Brooklyn!!! My favourite pizza was in the pizzaria wher Old Blue Eyes himself (Frank Sinatra) requented. I didn't particularly like the one we had at the pizzaria where the guys from The Sopranos go. But you win some and you lose some eh?
Anyway what are you waiting for people .... get on the website and book to go on this tour .... if you don't you'll only live to regret it my friends!
Ciao Tony |

| Tony is the best! Born and bred in Brooklyn, he knows Brooklyn like the back of his hand. If you want a tour that combines an insider look at Boston, its neighborhoods, architecture and famous people, plus some great pizza, this is the tour for you. We loved the movie clips, then seeing the film location, the parks, Coney Island, everything - not one thing would I want changed. Our group ranged in age from 37 to 67. |

| As a native New Yorker, who has lived away from NY these past 20 years, I and my high school & college friend (who lives on LI) went on this fabulous tour. I happened to find a paragraph about the tour in Relish magazine which appears in the Sunday papers the first weekend of the month. I made our reservations & we went on the tour June 8. We both loved it & have very enthusiastically told friends & family about it. My friend is planning to get a group of her friends & return on the tour.
I have several family members in TX who plan to go to NY in the near future (as well as friends in NY) whom I have strongly recommended to go, as well. Tony Muia made the tour so delightful! It is apparent he loves what he does & has so much information, facts & anecdotes which make the tour so special. The bus group we traveled with was relatively small (about 15) & we all seemed to bond. Of all the sights we saw & visited in the city the 4 days we were there, The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was the highlight of our trip!! |
