| Our friends went on this tour last year, and they raved about the tour and Tony. Four of us from Jersey, signed up for "A Slice of Brroklyn Pizza Tour" on June 27, 2008. We have all been on many tours throughout America and abroad. You could not find a tour guide with more knowledge, enthusiasm, and humor than Tony Muia. The video montages that illustrated the various movie scenes that were filmed in Brooklyn really added to the visual effect. Rather than just showing the movie location, Tony provided actual movie footage of each particular site. That was really fun. We learned about the history of Brooklyn and the variety of cultures and housing. The pizza stops were excellent. We sampled Margarita and Sicilian Pizzas...yummy! Tony's enthusiasm was the best selling point of his tour. At the conclusion of his tour, our group of four got off the bus and walked back to the Brooklyn Bridge and walked over to Brookyln and back again to Manhattan. I have always wanted to walk over the bridge. I had a greater appreciation of the architecture and history of the bridge because of this tour. We took lots of pictures and shared them with many friends through e-mail, recommending this fun tour. |

| We were a family of four adults who decided to do the tour on the recommendation of a friend who had taken the tour earlier in the year. We loved the tour and felt it was well worth every penny spent! Tony was informative and humourous. The places visited were interesting and fun! The pizza was delizioso!! Thanks Tony!!
P.S. we look forward to returning for your next tour, keep us posted! |

| 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. |

| Makes for a nice change from the Manhattan hustle and bustle.
Tony the guide was amiable, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He has put together a thoughtful and illuminating package.
I would recommend. |

Really Great Tour - more about history than food.

| My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. It was unlike other food tours because you actually got to sit down and enjoy the food like you were at lunch which was nice. You get 2 peices of pizza at two of Brooklyn's well known pizzerias. It was definitely plenty of food, but the tour mainly revolves around seeing Brooklyn and learning about the burrough.
You also get WONDERFUL views of the manhattan skyline and Brooklyn Bridge as well as seeing Coney Island and just a ton of knowledge about Brooklyn. We really liked that when a part of the town was a scene in a movie - they would play the movie clip so you can see the movie, and realize you're right there at the same time!
I would definitely recommend this if you are interested in learning about Brooklyn and love pizza - but be aware that this is mainly about Brooklyn - and only about an hour of the tour revolves around eating and pizza! |

| I had a great time on this tour. Skipping the line at Grimaldi's was worth the price alone, but the tour of Brooklyn was great as well. Paula does a great job giving insight into life in Brooklyn. L&B Spumoni Gardens has some great pizza as well. Highly recommended! |

| I have been on this tour two times now. Both times I had a fabulous time. Tony hosted the first tour I went on a year ago and this last time I went, Paula was the tour guide and she was equally knowledgeable and fun. I do not like tourist attractions and probably why I enjoy this tour so much. You see and go to places you would not find on your own. By the way, besides the great sites,,,,I gotta say, the pizza is remarkable. |
