| We were very sorry to see that this tour was cancelled, it really sounded like it would be fun. Joe was very good about leaving a message at our home and followed thruough with contacting us at our hotel in new york city to advise us the tour was cancelled due to health reasons.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Looking forward to our next trip to Metroplois,
hopefullly taking this tour. |

| My husband and I were truly looking forward to taking the Brooklyn Pizza Tour on Oct. 6, 2006. We were sorely disappointed when we learned only one man does these tours, he took ill, and it was cancelled!
Granted, I don't mean anything disparaging to anyone who takes ill, but I'd hope that individual has a back up to take over when that situation happens!!! I would hope, in the future, if a tour like this is organized, that more than one person is involved in the event of illness or a emergency!

| Tony's tour was the best one we took while in NYC. We stopped at 2 great places for pizza and had PLENTY to eat! I personally liked the first place best. If you left hungry, it's your own fault!!! Tony was informative and funny....like the kid next door. Our group of 10 enjoyed every minute, and if Tony would have stopped talking for a moment.....we would have all been asleep from sooooo much pizza!!!! It was a pleasure. Our entire group from 84 years old down to 26 years old enjoyed it. Ray, the bus driver was excellent as well. We never once felt our life was in danger, unlike the cab situations. Another nice thing is that never once was a "tip" mentioned! You pay the price, you get the service and if you choose to tip...well then great, and if not....so be it! No begging, demanding or plaques stating it was expected. Best bang for your buck in NYC!!! We highly recommend this tour!
Thanks again for a wonderful tour!

| We have a group of women who go to New York City every year after Thanksgiving to do some major shopping. However, we decided to see some sights in Brooklyn but didn't know where to begin. Tony and his Tour were a treat and a great find. We found some wonderful places to dine and we enjoyed the history lesson of the area. Tony's love for his city shines through and is contagious. There were five of us in our group for this tour and we all loved every minute of it. The weather was wet and windy, but the bus was cozy and fun. The food was terrific and the sights were even better.
If you don't take this tour, "fuhgitaboutit," you're missing a great experience!

| This was my ninth trip to NYC and was looking for something a little different. This tour was a blast!!! I'm telling all my friends to check it out. The pizza was wonderful, I find myself thinking about it all the time. Tony was a wonderful host. He's knowledgeable and passionate about both Brooklyn and pizza. The tour is the perfect size, and the bus was very comfortable. The amount of pizza and pop we received was very generous. By far the best vacation tour I’ve ever been on. Great for all ages and groups, and also a great value. Thank you so much Tony!! |

| First of all, Tony, the tour guide is the best. What a fun tour. We saw sooooo many interesting spots in Brooklyn, they're too numerous to name individually.
I'm from Chicago, and I must say I like New York pizza better than Chicago!
What a great way to get a tour of Brooklyn and lots of its history. You would have to be from Mars not to enjoy this tour.
I HIGHLY recommend it! Worth every penny and then some. You'll come home wanting to rent all the movies of various sites in Brooklyn. I've taken many tours, and this is so cleverly put together, you're going to love it. This tour also makes a wonderful and memorable gift for someone. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the Brooklyn Pizza Tour. It was fun, we saw alot, the pizza was great and the tour guide, Tony, made the tour extra special. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The music and clips from movies were a nice added touch. Our group was very small, so we were able to ask Tony a lot of questions and learned quite a bit about Brooklyn...what a great city!! Not only would I strongly recommend the tour, but I would definitely enjoy going on it again in the future. |

| We were looking forward to this tour, never having been out of Manhattan on our visits. We received a cancellation message Sunday evening for our planned Monday tour. Unfortunately, we had not planned an alternate day which left us in the lurch at the last minute. Tony was most apologetic and refunded our fee without being asked to do so...but we still were without a plan for our last full day in the city. We would not rebook this tour unless we had a firm backup plan on a future visit. We did take a west village food/cultural tour a couple of days before and were most pleased with it. I got the impression that this tour had multiple guides available so that cancellation would be unlikely. We ended up braving the subway to Brooklyn and found Grimaldi's on our own, so the day was not completely lost. |

| My husband and I and two young adult children really enjoyed the tour. Tony is very, very nice and a wonderful tour guide. The pizza was great at both of the stops and we all were very full. The tour was very interesting and the video clips and music added to the impact. I have already told my friends who often go to NYC about this tour. This tour is a hit! |
