| I live in Manhattan, know lots of people who are Brooklyn residents, and have taken this tour twice -- once with friends and once with adult family members. Even so I can hardly wait to come back yet again with my 'tween nephews. Like being shown the town by your funniest and most well-connected buddy!. |

| I am a native New Yorker and live in Brooklyn. This tour has opened my eyes to see Brooklyn in a whole different light. Tony, our tour guide was a delight. He kept us entertained continuously and there was never a dull moment. He did his research and kept us well informed of all the different points of interest that we stopped at. The snipets of video was well put together and kept us entertained. You could tell that he loved what he was doing. The day we went was a sweltering 90+ day. Tony's bus was new, cleaned, air-conditioned and extremely comfortable. We never felt the heat. There were only a few stops that required us to do a bit of walking and it was no big deal. I'm not a pizza lover, but I have to say that Grimaldi's take the cake for Neopolitan-style pizza and LB Spumoni Gardens Sicilian-style pizza was absolutely delicious. But you have to try the spumoni for dessert to top off the meal. My husband loved the tour so much that we are planning to book the "Christmas LIghts" tour and "Wise-Guy" tour coming up in September. This was my first New York tour and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It didn't feel like 4-1/2 hours because it was so enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a first hand experience of Brooklyn. I got this tour as a birthday gift and I must say it was one of the best gifts I received. What a great idea! For $75 you get a tour plus a meal, what a great bargain. I'd much preferred this to a Broadway play which could range in the $100+. Keep up the good work, Tony! |

| What a great way to spend Memorial Day. Had a fantastic time with my mother, brother and sister-in-law, who were in town from North Carolina and Indianapolis. Our guide Tony was wonderful, knowledgeable and entertaining and the pizza was amazing. I'd recommend to New Yorkers and visitors alike! |

| The tour was great. Tony was wonderful. He knew so much about the history of Brooklyn and the pop culture and local trends and issues. And his knowledge of pizza is amazing too. Grimaldi's and Spumoni Gardens are incredible. This tour is a great way to spend an afternoon, especially for a Manhattanite who knew nothing about Brooklyn. |

| I took a group of friends for my second trip. We grew up in Little Italy, Bronx but they loved it and thanked me for "planning something different". Despite the rainy weather, Tony's enthusiasm and wonderful personality, made the trip fun and enjoyable. I have to ask him on my (next) trip, what he takes for being so upbeat and funny!! :-)
I still like both pizzas, but my friends liked the Sicilian pizza best. I would actually take this tour a third time because I love Brooklyn and cannot discover enough of it.
If you want something different, interesting, fun and delicious, you will find it in this tour!
Tony, when you have your overall tour of Brooklyn ready, please let me know. |

| The Slice of Brooklyn tour was a wonderful day spent learning tidbits about Kingsborough (Brooklyn), eating great pizza and enjoying Tony's animated commentary. I enjoyed walking on the Coney Island boardwalk and having photo opportunities of the Brooklyn Bridge. A day well spent! |
