| I am a native Brooklynite so I know good pizza! I had been to both pizzerias on Tony's pizza tour previously but thought it would be fun to do a pizza tour so I could eat some great pizza while viewing the important sites of Brooklyn. I didn't think I would learn that much on the tour, but I can honestly say I saw Brooklyn through totally different eyes the day I took this tour and learned a lot more my borough. Tony's energy and excitement about Brooklyn and pizza is contagious, and his knowledge of Brooklyn is exhaustive. I also loved the way he related a lot of his Brooklyn memories and childhoood stories to the group. That really added a personal touch to the tour. The idea of playing movie clips while driving by the actual movie scene is brilliant. There was never a dull moment on the tour. If Tony was not entertaining us with stories, Brooklyn facts, history or film clips, there was famous Brooklyn music from tv shows and movies along with Brooklyn triva questions. This is the best organized, well thought-out tour I have ever seen! |

| We are generally not tour takers. However, someone recommended this tour to us, so we decided to try it. The tour was outstanding! We learned so much about Brooklyn and the neigborhoods. Tony provided an entertaining and informative narrative, highlighted with music and movie clips.
The restaurants greeted us warmly, had everything set up to serve us, and gave us great food and service. Tony made us feel like we were guests in his home.
We noticed that neighborhood people greeted Tony with love and affection. It's easy to know why.
Tony did everything to ensure our comfort, safety, and fun. This tour is the BEST! |

| This tour was excellent. Tony was so enthusiastic about Brooklyn, the group was small and friendly. Iam sure this tour would be fully booked every day if available.
One of the best things we did whilst on our visit to New York.
A message for Tony - do not make the group any larger this was just right, keep it up you are doing a great job.

| Anyone can go up the ESB, or gaze admiringly at the S of L. But by how much do they enrich their lives? Nowhere near as much as those who are lucky enough to take part in this tour. We especially enjoyed the context given by the film clips and even had a new conversational gambit to offer the Jehovah's Witnesses who came to visit us at home a couple of days after we got back. |

| Tony showed us Brooklyn like some of us had never seen it before. His passion and thoroughness shined through during his very fastidious and well- choreographed presentation of the geography and history of Brooklyn through video, music and stories. The other 11 women in our group from Northern Va. felt that the tour was worth every penny and announced it the highlight of our 3-day NYC visit.The tour bus departed on schedule and was clean and comfortable. Being a part of the Slice Of Brooklyn Pizza Tour made me feel very proud that I am a Brooklynite. Thank you, Tony and Ray (driver).
