If you'd like to add something new to your New York City vacation, this is a great option. Not only do you see and hear about areas of the City you might not otherwise visit, but the tour of Brooklyn is informative and the views of the City and bridges from that side are awesome! We love pizza, and the two locations we visited had different, and tasty, versions with enough quantity to fill up anyone. In fact, we enjoyed it so much (and Tony was such a good tour guide) that we went on the Brooklyn Christmas lights tour that night and had a wonderful time looking at all the beautiful lights. I can enthusiastically recommend this tour to people of all age groups and sightseeing abilities, as there is not too much walking and the sighseeing coach is very comfortable. |

Brought back memories.Went to Brighton beach & Coney Island as a child.Very thorough tour & the pizza was great.One problem the guy behind me was on the phone constantly.I turned a few times & told him how rude he was,as I couldn't hear what Tony was saying.Phones should be shut off during tour.Certainly have enough stops to use the phone then. |

With half as much effort ,Tony would still have had a great tour!
His meticulous attention to detail was very appreciated as was his unbounded Brooklyn enthusiasm! |

When Tony had us stand in front of the Brooklyn Eagle building, I was reminded that my mother was on the cover in May 1954. She was a "Lady in Waiting" for Brooklyn's May Day Queen at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. I have the cover framed and it is hanging in my hallway. I only wished that my Mother was with us!
The pizza was spectacular at L&B's Spumoni Gardens. And now I'm dying for more Pastachio Spumoni Ice Cream!!
My husband was very excited to see the basketball courts where Saturday Night Fever was filmed. Now he wants the 30-year anniversary DVD for Christmas!
Tony was the best tour guide we've ever experienced! What a positive guy! Best of luck to him with all his tours! We want to take the Greenwich Village Eating Tour next time! Thanks! |

This slice of our New York trip was the best. Tony is informative, humorous, and the most likeable person you'll ever meet. Excellent Pizza, interesting sites and fantastic photo opportunities make this event a "Must Do". |

We came from Italy and one of friends recommended the tour. It was great, Tony is great. We loved the pizza from Spumoni Garden, different than home.
We also went on the Christmas Lights tour which despite the rain was a beautiful evening. We do not get to experience such things in Italy. Molto Grazie Tony, Molto Grazie Brooklyn!!!! |

Fantastic ! Myself and my wife were in NYC for a long weekend celebrating my wife's 50th birthday and this was a highlight of the weekend. We saw an article many months ago in the London Times and decided to 'go for it'. We were very glad we did. The 4.5 hours seemed to fly with never one moment of 'what am I doing here ?'. Toni is 'da man'; informative, humerous and very entertaining...is there anything he doesn't know about Brooklyn. Sitting in Grimaldis, eating pizza, drinking Brooklyn Lager and listening to Frank Sinatra ? As Toni would say 'you couldn't write this stuff' ! We feel as though we have seen things many folk only see in films or on telly e.g. Coney Island boardwalk, the road in the car chase in The French Connection and many, many more. And the Pizza is fantastic ! If you are going to NYC you MUST do this ! You will not be dissapointed. |

This really was a good time and I would highly recommend.
Tony our guide was VERY knowledable and kept things interesting. Trust me though- go hungry. Even though we only stopped at two pizza places it was plenty of food. Especially when you get to the Sicilian deep dish style. Which was crazy good by the way! |

Tony is so personable, you cannot walk away and say you did not enjoy this activity. He is so knowledgeable about Brooklyn, and has great stories. The pizza was good from both establishments, the only thing a little off was the small amount of time you had in each restaurant and they were so crowded. |

There were 3 in our group. We all thought it was the best tour we have taken. Tony the tour guide was friendly, outgoing, knowledgeable and fun to be with. We would never have been able to see as much of Brooklyn on our own. All 3 of us would highly recommend the tour and will probably take it again. The pizza restaurants were great. Grimaldi's was the best thin slice pizza we have ever had. |
