I took this tour last year with Tony but this time he had his Uncle Louie on the bus and the two of them were great together! I felt like a part of the family as they each told stories about growing up in Brooklyn. They both looked out for the entire group making sure we all had a great time. The pizza was just as amazing as I remembered it. Do yourself a favor and take this tour the next time you're in NYC. |

Our family of four had a wonderful time on this tour. Tony and Uncle Louie were fabulous hosts and the tour was worth every penny! I have told all my friends this is a MUST when visiting NYC. The food was great, the commentary was funny and informative, the movie clips were great to watch and even our teenagers (14 & 17) had a great time. |

Unexpectedly this tour was an absolute hit! Even after an evening without sleep - 2 adults and 2 teenagers remained totally captivated by the activity. It was entertaining, fun and provided a terrific historical review. I would recommend it as a must do to anyone who can find the time! |

The Slice of Brooklyn tour was amazing. Tony is personable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I learned something about people from George Washington to Al Capone to John Travolta. We heard history from the Battle of Brooklyn, to the battle for condos and Coney Island. And the bridges! Who knew that so many people gave their lives so that we could drive our cars across the river! I'm going to have to research the bridges here in New Orleans. Surely with our colorful history, there are some great stories there! I should also mention that the pizza was fantastic.
I will recommend this tour whenever I hear about someone going to New York. Tony started talking before we left Union Square, and didn't stop giving us facts, fun, and even film clips until we got back there. There was never a dull moment, and I learned more than I dreamed I would. |

My daughter and son-in-law recently moved to Brooklyn and, while visiting from California, I thought it would be a good way to get to know Brooklyn and have a lot of fun as well. My son-in-law reluctantly came along to keep me company. We learned a lot about all of Brooklyn except near where they live, but it was great, the pizza was great, Tony was great and we are looking forward to the Wiseguys tour!!! |

We all thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The knowledgeable commentary
by Tony was priceless. We especially loved the movie scenes, being able to
see the movie clips as we were in the same spots was terrific! |

We really enjoyed the pizza tour and history of Brooklyn. Tony was a great guide - has perfect personality for what he does. My hope is that the tours never get so large that Tony "farms out" the tour duties, because HE is the one that makes it so successful! |

I had a very good time on this tour. I love pizza and really wanted to try authentic pizza. I even thought about having pizza today (after I got home) and it just didn't appeal to me since sampling the pizza in Brooklyn. Tony is a great host and tour guide. He is from the area and that definitely is seen as you go on the tour with him. I would definitely take this tour again and am excited to hear about the new tours he has coming out too (especially the Christmas lights tour). I love New York and Brooklyn is just another portion I have seen and love now too. BE sure to go on this tour - my tour was actually quite the opposite of what I expected because most of the people on my tour were actually from the area. So, that in itself, was interesting because I was about to hear about things these people did when they were kids and were just checking it out now as they had gotten older (and they were still pretty much in the area, but just taking the tour). Tony is great and you will definitely have a great time on this tour! |

My husband and I very recently took the "A Slice of Brooklyn" tour. We had seen it on the Today Show, and decided it might be a fun thing to do as a couple. It wasn't just a fun thing to do as a couple, it is something we would recommend to anyone at any time. The sights were great, the history was interesting, and the food was AMAZING (especially at L&B Spumoni Gardens). Our tour guide, Tony, knew things about Brooklyn that were surprising, and he presented the information with ease and humor. On the way home, my husband and I actually decided it would be worth doing all over again. |

What a day!
I learned so much about Brooklyn as I had never been there. My husband, who is from New York City, also thoroughly enjoyed the tour as Tony made it so interesting and entertaining. The pizza and spumoni were..... AMAZING!!!!!
