| We thoroughly enjoyed this fun adventure through Brooklyn. Tony, Jimmy and our driver were excellent! The tour was very informative and fun, and the pizza at Grimaldi's and Spumoni Gardens was yummy! Service was also excellent. Very organized tour from beginning to end. Highly recommended! Thanks Tony for such a fun 4 hours!

| Tony was terrific and we loved every minute of the tour. We had never been to Brooklyn, and we feel like we lived there now. We have already recommended it to many friends and will be watching for Tony on TV! |

| Both my husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Both Tony, the tour guide and the bus driver were exceptional and to top it off the Today Show was filming the tour for a future segment and accompanied us on the tour. It made for a few deviations for the tour guide but he took it all in stride.
The pizza at both places we went was delicious and having never been to Brooklyn before we both learned a lot of the history and most of all the pride of "Brooklynites" for their origins.
tony was very knowledgable and the bus driver was very skilled at his job and saved us several times from drivers who cut in front of the bus. I would reccomend this tour for everyone, even if you have been to Brooklyn before. We had several people on the tour who were born in Brooklyn and said they learned things they didn't know.

| The tour was terrific. It was the real deal from Tony to the pizzas to the spumoni to the film clips of the actual locations we were looking at. Tony's knowledge and attentiveness to all of his customers made for a wonderful day. Looking forward to another Tour with Tony.

| This tour would not be the same without Tony. He personafies the typical Brooklyn native with his accent and appearance. He is delightful, very informative and gets to know those on his tour individually. This was my second tour this year and I would be happy to go again. I will recommend it highly to anyone visiting New York.
Even with the heavy traffic in New York City and Brooklyn, we never felt the delays because Tony kept talking the whole time--but with little tidbits of life in Brooklyn.
I've never been on a tour where videos were shown of the actual sites where movies were made. This also made the tour extra special. The handouts of the movies make me want to rent all the videos and see the movies.
Tony is a real asset to Brooklyn in general and to the tour specifically.

| The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was absolutely the best tour you could have in to Brooklyn, which is after all on the Dark Side. The day we went it poured with rain so much but it was all totally fascinating. Standing under Brooklyn Bridge in the pouring rain is not your everyday experience but Tony made it enjoyable and fun, And I dont even like Pizza. You must go on the tour without having had breakfast and taste the most amazing Sicilian Pizza in the world. We went to Nathans for hot dogs, fantastic, what an experience, why even the lady from Manhatten enjoyed.
The film set DVD played during the tour was good too, thought I must say some of the famous people from Brooklyn rather left me confused.
Summary Best thing We bought in New York this trip must do it again

| The first I heard of the Pizza Brooklyn Tour was from an article in the Times back in February of 2007. It looked like a great thing to do and was very easy to book.The trip to New York was a 21st birthay present for our twin sons and this seemed something that guys of their age would enjoy. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Tony was a superb guide, a man that was not only passionate about pizza but passionate about his home town of Brooklyn. It really felt like being shown around by a friend. Both sorts of pizza were superb and having been to Sicily I can vouch for the authenticity. The visit to Coney Island and the boardwalk realised a long held ambition by my wife, her only complaint was she would have liked time to go onto the beach and paddle. We met some lovely people on the tour, sitting down with strangers and at the end of the day feeling that you were with friends is a great achievment. The film clips of Brooklin was an inspiration and we have enyoyed telling friends about DUMBO. Thank you Tony for giving me and my family a day to remember. |
