| Imagine you call your buddy Joe from Brooklyn whom you haven't seen in a while. "Hey Joe, I will be in the area, do you wanna hang out?" Joe says: "Would love to see you, let me pick up up in the city and we'll head over to Brooklyn and I'll show you around my neighborhood. We'll grab some grub at a couple of places only the locals know about".
This is basically what you're getting when you go on this tour with Tony. He knows Brooklyn like the palm of his hand, has a firm knowledge of Brooklyn's history, its places worth seeing and what the locals are up to. He will take you on a amazing tour through the area where he's from. Tony is witty, authentic (the tattoos will attest to that) and simply a nice, personable guy. His business he's most passionate about.
So many movies have been filmed on the streets of Brooklyn. Tony will be sure to point them out while running the scene of the flick on the screens inside the bus.
One more thing, you won't leave hungry!
We'll be back to New York next year and will take one of the other tours Tony offers. |

| Tony grew up in Brooklyn and loves his hometown, and he shares it with exuberance. He uses video clips from movies shot in Brooklyn and history of the various areas of the borough. It was a fine way to spend a day... I was worried in advance that we might feel it was wasted time when it was over, as one often feels about little tours like this, but much to the contrary, Tony made it a great day! |

| I make it a habit to take a neighborhood based tour every time I visit NYC or Chicago.
The Brooklyn tour was fun, informative AND the tour guide...company owner...made the day really special with his knowledge of his home town. I flet I was in another part of the country far far away from NYC when we walked along the Coney Island boardwalk. This tour is a real winner for visitors with the better part of a day to spare. |

| I loved this tour and highly recommend that you take it if you find yourself in New York. Our tour guide, Paula, was so sweet, informative and fun. Deborah our bus driver made it look easy to namuver through that traffic. We were throughly entertained by all the history and movie clips. The trip to Coney Island was unexpected and very interesting. Even as full as I was after all the pizza, I wish we could have included a stop at the Nathan Hot dog stand for a sample. I obviously didn't remember what the exact sites other then "PIZZA" we were going to. LOVED the pizza and made me realize how bad our local pizza really is! :0) I hope that Tony adds other tours that we can take on later trips to New York.
Thanks for a Great Time!! :0) |

| None of my children could be with me on Mother's Day. I didn't look forward to the day. A friend recommended this tour and it was perfect. It made the day pass so enjoyably. It was full of interesting tidbits which, although a lifetime New Yorker, were new to me. The pizza respites were delicious plus a nice pause in the tour. The guide was sweet, helpful and knowledgable. She obviously wanted us to enjoy ourselves and made sure we did. I have trouble walking, and the fact that the van was there at the end of every trek made it possible for me to participate in the walks and not have to walk back. Dolores was a great driver - manipulating traffic, never stopping or starting too fast - very smooth ride. It was such a happy thing to do that it was perfect for the day. I'm very interested in the Christmas lights tour. We've already recommended it heartily to all our friends. |

| There's nothing quite like it, and this tour gives you the absolute best of each style. The world-famous thin crust from Grimaldi's, and the sweet, robust flavor of L&B's Sicilian. This tour proved to me me what I sorely miss when it comes to pizza and living in Boston. There is nothing here that compares.
The tour itself was great, the tour guide was very interesting and informative, and the movie clips were an excellent touch. I guess I never realized just how big and diverse Brooklyn really is. I'd highly recommend this service to anyone, defintely worth taking the trip across the bridge from Manhattan for an afternoon.
I'd definitely consider taking the mobster tour from this same company as well, looking forward to it! |

| This tour was so much more than yummy pizza. It wasn't "touristy" and there was not a dull moment. Tony made it a fun roadtrip and showed us all of the coolest spots in Brooklyn - spots you don't read about in your NYC books. It was also crucial to get VIP entry to Grimaldi's and cut the 1 hr+ line to get in :) |

| I really enjoyed this tour. I used to go to Spumoni Gardens as a child with my father.. Revisiting it 30+ years later was a treat. Tony the tour guide was great. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. You could feel the love he had for Brooklyn as he led you on the tour. Even though I was born in Brooklyn and lived there for 22 years, there were many interesting facts I didn't know. The pizza was delicious and well worth the trip. I would strongly recommend this experience. |
