| This truly was a highlight of our trip to New York. The 4 1/2 hour tour went by so quickly that we didn't want it to end. Tony really puts Brooklyn on the map with this tour, would very much like to take one of their new and upcoming Brooklyn tours the next time we are in NYC. |

| My wife, one year old son and I did this tour on our recent trip to New York. We had a great day, learnt a lot about Brooklyn, movies filmed in Brooklyn and had some great pizza.
We also got some great views and photo opportunity's of the Manhattan skyline and the new waterfalls and also a quick stop at Coney Island.
Our guide Tony was by far the main reason our day was so good. He even held our 1 year old son during the food stops and organised for him to get a t-shirt from Grimaldis Pizza shop.
I recommend this tour for everyone young and old to see by far our favourite borough in New York |

| The tour was an excellent experience. I have never been to Brooklyn and I cannot think of a better way to see it for the first time. |

| This was my first trip to the US, and I started in New York, on my own. This tour was the only thing I'd booked before heading there, and was the very first thing I did on day one of my stay.
I was a bit apprehensive about what I'd signed up for, but I couldn't have asked for a more perfect introduction to NYC in general, and Brooklyn in particular, I think everyone taking part warmed to Tony's friendliness and humour throughout. It certainly helped me ease into my stay in Manhattan, which was a bit daunting before I went on the tour. There were a great group of people taking the tour, but its hard to imagine Tony not getting everybody talking and having fun, even with the sternest of groups.
The excellent (and very filling) pizza to be had in Brooklyn was really an added bonus of the tour, Tony's right - there's some excellent pizza to be had, and he's very passionate about it!
There's no doubt that I'd recommend this tour to anyone (and I will be), I think if I lived in NYC I'd be tempted to go on it regularly just to soak up the great stories and pizza! Those four and half hours just flew by, I almost didn't want to get off the bus when it was all over.
A memorable day indeed. |

| I would highly recommend this trip, especially if you haven't been to Brooklyn. You will see where some famous movies have been filmed (Saturday Night Fever, Goodfellas, The French Connection, etc.). Tony has an excellent personality, is easy to talk with and is very knowledgeable of Brooklyn. We had a lot of laughs, good pizza and good sites a long the way. I'm anxious to see what he puts together for the 'Mob' tour, especially, the VIP tour.
There is more to this tour than pizza (which is good...by the way) |

| Tony, the tour guide was very knowledgeable, informative, and entertaining. The pizza was also excellent. At 4.5 hours, I felt the tour was well worth the expense and great for those who want to see more of NYC than just the typical tourist spots in Manhattan. |

| The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was one of the highlights of my visit to the Big Apple. A fun tour led by a passionate guide and some of the best pizza served anywhere with several stops including Coney Island. I am telling all of my friends about the tour and would definately do it again. |

| July 9, 2008 ...Tony's tour showed Brooklyn from the inside. The sights, sounds, smells, and development of Brooklyn were experienced in a way that allows a tourist to gain an understanding of this borrough in a unique way. Tony's passion as our guide was clearly evident and our pizza stops were organized and casual. It was by far the best tour I have ever attended. I enjoyed every minute of it. |
