| This was simply awesome. The choice of pizza was fantastic and the sights were outstanding. To have such a wide range of historical and pop culture locations to soak up was, I feel, unique. And our guide was perfect, from his knowledge to his sense of humour and even his choice of words and the way he spoke. It truly brought it alive for someone who had only seen this part of the world on TV and in the movies. Highly Recommended! |

| I was very surprised at how much there is to see in brooklyn. And having 4.5 hours to see it was great. Tony is full of knowlege of his home town and loves to show it off. And the pizza was incredible. like nothing you have ever had before.
One of my favorite parts was going to coney island. It reminded me of one of my favorite movies ( The Warriors) .
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. And I look forward to trying some of Tony's other tours in the near future.
Thanks

| I'm a big fan of pizza in the first place, which means that I suspected I'd enjoy the tour. Funnily enough, that's not what makes it so special. For sure, the pizza at Grimaldi's (walking past the queues outside) is fantastic, probably the best you'll ever have. The tour is made, though, by the enthusiasm of Tony, a Brooklynite through and through, who takes you to places famous from the movies and from mob killings. In case you don't remember the movies - don't worry, Tony plays clips in the very comfortable bus as you're going past the locations. Especially memorable are the Saturday Night Fever and French Connection clips - you're really there! This is probably the best tour I've ever done - my only criticism would be that it ended too soon! Well done Tony, I'm sure you'll enjoy much success! |

| Having a real Brooklynite share the deep tradition of not only the place in history of pizza and its migration into NYC, but to hear the history of the neighborhoods was "Da Bomb." The sell point to this was the real life experience and pride the host had in his city, his bororugh , and more importantly his pizza selections. We aprpeciated the interacted not only during the tour but more impressive was his ability to sit with us while we ate and shared his views and inquired about ours. Class act!!!!!! This ranked right up their with our visit to the bronx to watch the Yankees beat Boston. I will definately repeat my afternoon spent with Tony, for both the food and his passion for his borough. |

| Tony makes you feel that you are his special guests. Plenty of delicious pizza. Videos add a lot to the overall tour. I can't imagine going on "A Slice of Brooklyn and not have Tony be your guide. He was pleasant and attentive. No one knows Brooklyn like he does. I'd highly recommend the tour and in fact we already have. I look forward to other tours that Tony may lead. This one was worth every penny |

| The pizza was great but the tour was even better. Tony did a great job of showing and explaining what Brooklyn is all about. This was a thoroughly entertaining 41/2 hours. |

| My wife and I had a great time on this tour. We ate two very different kinds of pizza -- and despite the differences, both were delicious. Our guide, Tony, was very knowledgeable and very outgoing. Eventhough we had been to NYC before, we had never visited Brooklyn. It was very interesting to see a different part of the city. We are very glad we finally got to Brooklyn. |
