| as someone who avoids tours like the plague i cannot reccommend A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour highly enough.Tony our guide was extremely informative and enthusiastic about the area he comes from.his enthusiasm only helped us to enjoy the day more.We learnt so much about Brooklyn,and visited areas we would never have been to.As someone who has only spent time in Manhattan it was enlightening to see what one of the other boroughs has to offer.And as for the pizza,two completely contrasting types but both outstanding.Without doubt the highlight of our recent trip to NYC. |

Thank you Tony

| Four of us, ages 59-66, had a wonderful time on this tour. We saw a lot of Brooklyn and very much enjoyed the commentary provided by Tony. We particualrly enjoyed going to areas where famous movies were filmed. The pizza itself was good though we all thought we've had better NY pizza in the past. We highly recommend the tour to anyone who wants to know the history of the city. |

| We enjoyed the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour immensely. It was interesting and informative. The pizza was exceptionally good, too. Slip away from Manhattan for part of a day to see and taste some of Brooklyn's best. Tony's the perfect guide for your journey. |

| This tour had two aims, eating great pizza and Brooklyn sightseeing. I am pleased to say that it met both objectives with flying colours. Tony is a most engaging tour guide. If you left him to it, he could talk about the geography, demographics, history and culture of Brooklyn for hours, and what's more it would all be compelling listening. Tony clearly loves Brooklyn, and that is obvious to anyone that takes the tour.
The pizza at both Grimaldi's and Spumoni Gardens was delicious, and unlike any pizza I have had anywhere else. As for the sightseeing, Brooklyn Bridge was a predictable, albeit essential place to visit. We also visited the Manhattan Bridge down the river. However, it is when we left the shore of the East River and headed into unknown territory in deepest Brooklyn that the already high interest level rose still further. I loved Bay Ridge (yes, Brooklyn does have middle class areas!). Also fascinating were the areas of Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights and Bath Beach and their Italian-American influences. We saw the pizzeria where John Travolta purchased a pizza in 'Saturday Night Fever', and a few other locations from that film. We drove down the road featured in the car chase in 'The French Connection'. We visited the Coney Island Boardwalk and on the way back to Manhattan passed from various intriguing Ethnic neighbourhoods.
One possible suggestion for future improvement. Make the tour 2-3 hours longer, so that we can discover even more areas of Brooklyn and we can make more stops at points of interest. And eat more pizza of course!
Overall, an excellent tour. My perception of Brooklyn has changed forever. The next day I was on the D train back to Coney Island. I now find myself saying 'Forget About It' at random times! As the trailer says, you can take the tourist out of Brooklyn, but you can't take Brooklyn out of the tourist... |

| Great tour. Great Pizza. We've been telling all our friends to put the Slice of Brooklyn tour on their "A" list of things to do when in NYC. Entertaining, Informative, and Filling. |

| I saw this tour featured on CBS Sunday morning and immediately went to my computer and made a reservation. This is great, fun, and delicious. This is the tour guide's baby and he treats it right. The bus is very nice, the guide is exhuberant and knows his stuff. Anyone should love it, and you see sooooo much of Brooklyn, including Coney Island. He also has videos and music that are both enjoyable and informative. And you also get to eat at two excellent pizza places. I loved it. Enjoy! |

| We really enjoyed our tour. Tour guide Tony was excellent. We never knew there were so many wonderful things to do and see in Brooklyn. We're itching to go back and explore some more on our own. Oh yeah, the pizza was great too! |

| Toni is without a doubt one of the most knowledgeable individuals I've ever met with regards to the history of Brooklyn and pizza. The pizza, too, was absolutely fantastic. All in all a wonderful experience...I recommend it without reservation. |
