| I recently went on the Slice of Brooklyn Tour with my Italian class. Even though I am from New Jersey and have family in New York, I learned a lot about Brooklyn. The food was really, really really good. Also, the guide was very helpful and accomodating. The schedule is quite flexible and his love of Brooklyn is quite evidant. I highly recommend this tour to anyone in the New York area. |

| Tony made me feel very welcome on his tour. He is a personable young man who knows the history and sights of interest in Brooklyn. He is aware of future plans for the area and shares the dreams of the planners. I am pleased to report that my own knowledge has grown because of the information he shared. At the pizza shops, Tony was the perfect host making sure each of us was comfortable and had sufficient food. His conversation at the table was a continuation of the areas' history which reflected his pride of his heritage. He spoke to each of us on the tour as he had known us all our lives. I would highly recommend this tour (and guide) to friends traveling to NYC.
On the other hand our driver was not as personable....after he hit the Hostess truck, he never asked the passengers if we were alright. We were not injured, rather jolted with the inpact. But he could have showed a bit of concern. At the end of the tour, we offered to pay him to drop us off closer to our destination - less that 12 minutes away - but he refused. Tony tried his best to convince John to do this since we were in an accident, had to stop for air so he could reinflate the rear tire, wait for another bus to pick us up, and Tony was unable to finish the video tour because the 2nd bus didn't have a DVD system. John was the loser as he could have had an extra $55+ for the holidays!
Thanks for allowing me to review the tour. |

| My wife and I took the "A Slice of Brooklyn Puzza tour on Wednesday, October 26, 2005. Normally, the times for the tour were only on Monday and Friday. However, Tony made a special effort to accomodate us on a mid-week activity. What a pleasure it was to meet Tony and to see all the wonderful sites and information that was provided by a very knowledgeable and proud Brooklyn native. The Tour provided not only a geographical area of Brooklyn, but also, it's history and the people who have made many contributions to our Country. I highly recommend that anyone interested in learning more about the people and culture of a Great City, not to miss the chance to do so. Also, the Pizza is GREAT. A five star activity not to be missed.

| My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary in NYC and planned some activities for the 5 days we were there. A few weeks before we left for our trip, the San Francisco Chronicle, our local paper, printed a small article about this tour. It sounded fun so we booked it right away. We knew nothing about Brooklyn at the time, now we know lots!
When we first met Tony, we knew we had made the right decision about the tour. Tony is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly, fun, professional and passionate about his hometown, Brooklyn. He was so well prepared for this tour, timing the music and film clips presicely as we drove through each neighborhood. It was fun watching the video and trying to see the exact spot that was filmed. We loved the stop at DUMBO, with magificant views of the bridges and the Manhattan skyline, the devine pizza at Grimaldi's and L&B Spumoni Gardens (save room for the delicious spumoni), our stop and walk along the boardwalk at Coney Island and the history and informative drive through the neighborhoods.
We loved this tour and have already recommended it to many of our friends! Now they just have to plan a trip to New York! Thanks Tony, it was the best!! |

| My daughter and I enjoyed the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable. I especially liked the movie clips tied into the area we were driving through. Both pizza stops were good. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough walking through some of the meighborhoods. |

| My mother, myself and two sisters took this tour. It was by far the best tour we took while in New York. Tony, our tour guide and the pride owner of Brooklyn Pizza Tour, was knowledgable and well-prepared. Tony made the trip very enjoyable and lots of fun. The pizza was fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits New York. In fact, we recommended it to the concierge at our hotel (The Belevedere), to several tourists that we came in contact with and to the members of my law firm that travel to New York on a regular basis. When we return to New York in the future, we will definitely take the tour again. If anyone would like to call me to discuss the tour, they are more than welcome (Debbie Praytor). Tony, keep up the good work and I know that you will be VERY SUCCESSFUL! |

| My mom and I went on this tour. We go to Manhatten a couple of times a year and when we saw this tour described in our local paper, we thought it would be something different to do in NYC. Tony, the tour guide and developer of this tour, is fabulous. He knows a lot about Brooklyn and has worked very hard to integrate music and video into the tour, so your just not listening to someone talk all the time. The pizza was great in both restaurants and it was a treat to sit down and talk to other people on the tour in the pizza shops. I've already recommended it to friends who live in NYC and they were fascinated by the idea, because they don't go to other boroughs unless it's for work. |

| I thought Tony was very knowledgeable and friendly. He answered our questions and if he didn't know the answer said he would find out. The tour was very well planned and covered a great deal of Brooklyn. I enjoyed every minute of it. The restaurants were both very good and the van was comfortable. I hope this tour takes off because it was one of the best I have taken. |
