| The Brooklyn Pizza tour was very entertaining.. Tony gave a lot of interesting cultural information about pizza and Brooklyn in general. He was knowledgable about the area and had some great insights. I only wish we made it out to Totanno's also, but overall it was very fun.... |

| Tour is very casual and accommodating. Plenty of food at the pizza stops. Good mix of riding and walking. Would have loved a walk along the Russian area of Coney Island Blvd to see the beautiful Russian twentysomething ladies out shopping. Guides love their jobs and BK. Tom Caswell |

| In spite of taking this tour on a day that did not stop raining, Tony brought sunshine to all of us who were on his tour July 23. I do live in NYC and wanted to take the tour because I really don't know Brooklyn. I was very glad I did. The tour and the pizza were the best and I would highly recommend this to both locals and tourists alike. |

| I was delightfully surprised when I discovered that not only was I getting a tour with pizza, but also a tour that mixed narration of the Brooklyn sites we traveled trough with cool movie clips from street corners etc that we went pass.
Pizza and Brooklyn, a great feeling of nostalgia delivered by a guy that obviously loves Brooklyn, got to see where Joe Pescis character in the move Godfellas was whacked in a suburban garage, went to where Gene Hackmans character runs under the above-ground-railway in the movie The French Connection. And much more.
And to finish it up, we stopped in Coney Island, walked the boardwalk, and some of us even rode the famous roller coaster that is there. It is quite bumpy so do follow Tony's advice and don't ride in the last most seat...
I could feel the beautiful nostalgia even when if I myself is not even from New York.
I head a great time. And Tony, the tour guide, gave us all a paper with the titles of the movies and the music played during the tour, and even if I have seen most of them before, I am sure I will watch them through again some day to return to that nice Brooklyn feeling.
Thanks for the tour Tony.

| I liked the tour very much. Tony was a really good tour guide and you could notice that he really loved his job and Brooklyn. The pizza in the two restaurants, we have visited, was very good, but we also visited different film locations and watched the movies parallel while visiting. That was really funny. (Unfortunately for Tony) our group was a bit slow and so we extended the tour for over one hour, but everybody in the group was happy about this. The tour was really well planned and I only can recommend it to everybody, who has a bit time in New York and who wants to see something different. You will have a great time . |

| Was it the incomparable scenery, Tony's funny and knowledgeable spiel or the delicious pizza? Or was it the lovely people I met on the tour? It's so difficult to pick out the best thing about the Slice of Brooklyn: it was a wonderful tour from start to finish.

| This is a must do tour.
Tony was an excellent host & guide. We really got to see what for most tourists is an undiscovered part of New York at ground level with a well structured mix of experiences.
For me, to get to Coney Island & Brighton Beach was amazing and made all the better by the way the tour ties in flim locations with actual on screen video footage whilst at those locations really brought it home.
And, to ride the Cyclone - Fantastic !!!

| I enjoyed everything about this tour. Our expert guide was friendly, helpful, and well-prepared and he answered any questions we might have. The van was comfortable and provided great views. The pizza was delicious and there was plenty of it. As a solo traveler who had been walking an average of 5 miles daily for almost a week I welcomed an activity that allowed me to sit for a few hours and converse with a small group of tourists from around the country. In addition to the two pizza stops we also got out of the van to enjoy the spectacular views of Manhattan at a waterside park near Dumbo and to walk on the boardwalk of Coney Island. |
