| Since moving to Manhattan a few months ago we have been on many tours. A Slice of Brooklyn was our favorite! Tony was a great tour guide, both interesting, knowledgable, and fun. The movie clips about the areas we were visiting was a nice touch. We really enjoyed our tour and would recommend it to others. Thanks Tony! |

| This is a great tour, even for locals who know the area. It was fun to see places you grew up in or have been hearing about presented in a new light. Some of us being local (Marine Park) and some sort of local (Manhattan/Long Island) all got a kick out of different things in the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to others.
Non local people will LOVE seeing places they've hear and read about. The movie clips just add the perfect touch to the tour. The pizza was fabulous and a good mix of kinds but it wasn't what made the tour great.
Tony is a fun guide and very personable. The group is small enough that you get a personal touch. He knows the area, offers to take and e mail pictures and just makes it an all around fun afternoon. |

| I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Tony made it really fun, interesting and enlightening. He sure knows the history. The video and music totally round out the tour nicely - adds some really GREAT ambience! I would highly recommend to all - locals as well as other people from outside the NY-NJ area. |

| Since moving to New Jersey four years ago, we have enjoyed exploring New York City. We often have been in Manhattan, but we had not seen much of Brooklyn. This tour was an excellent opportunity to learn about Brooklyn.
Tony was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Brooklyn. We liked him as a tour guide. He had a good sense of humor but there were no corny jokes. It was fun to see scenes of movies that took place in Brooklyn. The bus was comfortable.
Finally, the pizza was delicious! |

| Tony was great in providing an enjoyable tour without a dull moment. The stops at the pizza restaurants were the perfect compliment to the experiences of Brooklyn. And the fact that the pizza was built into the ticket price just made this an even better value. It really makes a difference to havea tour guide who is passionate about the town in which he was raised. Thanks again Tony for the great tour. |

| I just don't know where to start! We were greeted by this warm. friendly man name Tony. Tony was our tour guide. Tony created an atmosphere like we were his friends in his house and were warmly introduced to other members participating in the tour. Instantly, we felt a sense of belonging! He was so sincere, kind, and really was out to show us what Brooklyn was all about. Being a native NYer. I was taken to sights that I never knew existed. Let alone seeing the sights, the history and information provided by Tony was so detailed and clearly presented. We saw video clips, listened to amazing music, listened to stories about the area.....it was great.
We were taken to many movie sets which took place on Brooklyn's ground. Seeing the sights in person as the movie clips were displayed on the color TV, I felt like I was in the movie.
Should we even begin to mention the pizza shops visited. I'll use only two words.. (1)Delish and (2)Fantastic.
As we walked the coney Island boardwalk, the group was having so much fun and we asked Tony if we can ride the famous Cyclone. As accomadating as he was, he even joined us! Most of the tour participated and a grad time was had by all!
I have told many friends about this tour which, I might add, is the best tour I have been on EVER!
If in NYC, this is a MUST DO! |

| Delicious pizza pie is the focus of the bus quest of Brooklyn. We visited many sites in the Brooklyn area made popular in films. We got off the bus to walk Coney Island boardwalk and twice more to taste two very different kinds pizza. Paula, our guide, was personable and informative. It was a great tour in that it provided a New York experience that embraced the Brooklyn reality. Don't eat breakfast. |

| I had a wonderful time on The Slice of Brooklyn tour. The pizza was dee-lish-us! Paula, my tour guide was amazing. She was warm, funny, informative and very attentive to everyone. I loved all of the movie tie-ins along the tour. Whether it is your first visit to NYC or your fifth make sure you get out of Manhattan with a Slice of Brooklyn - fuggedabout Times Square!!! |
