| My wife and I are from Queens, everyone else on the tour was from out of town, and we all agreed the tour was great. Tony is an excellent guide; he knows and loves Brooklyn and pizza.
I'd been to all the best pizzerias in Manhattan and Queens, but Grimaldi's (our 1st stop) may top them all. We never get to Brooklyn, and this was a great way to see it and get around. I'm normally not a big fan of Sicilian-style pizza, but L&B's (2nd pizza stop) was by far the best I've ever had.
The tour bus was the perfect size--we weren't cramped yet we didn't feel like tourists either. It was fun and surreal to watch the movie clips as we were right next to the locales.
I got this tour as a present--it is a great gift.
We loved everything about the tour (Tony, the pizza, Coney Island, our fellow pizza-eaters...) and highly recommend it.

| A tour that we loved as much as our three teenagers, ages 13, 15, and 17. This tour will be in our plans AGAIN soon. |

| My mother (age 77) and I had a wonderful time on the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour. Although we occasionally go back to our old neighborhood, it was great not to have to worry about traffic and parking. The pizza was delicious (we skipped dinner), Tony was charming and Ray was a great driver. A Prospect Park/Botanical Gardens/Park Slope tour would make this Brooklynite happy.

| Tony has put together a well researched guide to Brooklyn. Combination of personal experiance and hard work make this tour ourstanding.
As a location is passed there is a related film clip highlighting the exact spot as it was captured in movie history.
Tony's outgoing personality and love of his Borough make it a delight.
There is music, fun and great pizza. What could be better. |

| I enjoyed the tour very much. It was interesting seeing parts of Brooklyn most tours do not cover. Tony was very personable and enthusiastic. He treated everyone like his personal friend. 11 people attended our tour and everyone was friendly and outgoing. I enjoyed sitting together as a group at the two pizza restauants and getting to speak to most of the people on the tour. I also enjoyed when we were shown scenes from a movie as we passed the location where the movie was filmed. I plan to highly recommend the tour to everyone I know. It's a great way to pass 4.5 + hours. By the way, the pizza was excellent! |

| I highly recommend this tour for tourists and Brooklynites alike. I attended with my father and uncle who were both raised in Brooklyn. I resided in Park Slope for several years as well. Between the three of us we thought we knew alot about Brooklyn. But the borough is so diverse and so tied to the history of New York City as a whole that we found out we had alot to learn. And Tony served up the knowledge (along with a flair toward entertainment) and the pizza, with great enthusiasm. He was informative, interesting and the prepared film and support materials were also well done. If you live in brooklyn and want to know more about your home, take this tour. If you are from out of town and think Brooklyn is an insignificant lower income appendage to Manhattan, think again and take this tour. At the end you will be full of truly excellent pizza and new found knowledge. |

It's So Much More Than Pizza!

| Take this tour! Tony has done his homework and even if you are a Brooklyn native, you'll learn something you didn't know about the borough. Tony plays music that has to do with Brooklyn during the tour and he shows lots of clips of movies made in Brooklyn while you are RIGHT THERE where the movie was made. It is so AWESOME! He peppers the tour with historic facts, you see the mansions in Bay Ridge, you learn about the hundreds of celebrities who were born in Brooklyn, and you get to go to Coney Island. It's an amazing tour that would be a bargain at twice the price. And, the pizza is WONDERFUL, too! Be sure and have the spumoni at L&B Spumoni Gardens--it's delicious. (I am not Tony's mom.) |

| 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. |
