| After seeing Tony's "A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour" aired on the Australian television holiday programme, Getaway I booked the tour in readiness for our up coming trip to New York.
To say it was a highlight of our whole trip in somewhat of an understatement! We had such a good day with Tony and the rest of the tourists. The pizza was awesome and so was Tony's hospitality.
If we are ever back in New York we will definitely book again - we have friends visiting NY in December and have recommended this tour highly to them.
Well done Tony, a big thank you all the way from Australia! |

| Definitly worth a recommendation, the tour surprised me pretty much. Brooklyn was really different to what I had expected.
The guide was very knowledgable and made a great fun out of it in a pretty relaxed athmosphere. The Pizzerias visited were very nice. |

| From start to finish our tour with Tony on Labor Day was fantastic. I can confidently tell my friends and family that you haven't been to New York if you haven't been to Brooklyn and you haven't been to Brooklyn if you haven't taken the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour. The history and the insight Tony gave us into this incredible borough were very informative. The pizzas, both the "round pie" and the "square pie" were great. I preferred the square and my wife liked the round better. We now have a list of movies we have to re-rent just to see the scenes shot in the locations Tony and Kenny took us to. We're looking forward to taking another tour with "youse guys" on our next trip to New York. |

| We saw the tour on TV at home in Australia and knew straight away that we were going to do it on our upcoming trip to the US.
We met with Tony on a Saturday around 11am, straight away he was friendly and felt like a pal. We all jumped on the air conditioned bus (needed as it was getting quite hot) and headed for Brooklyn.
Tony makes everyone feel comfortable, asking us all questions about where we're from and cracking jokes like there's no tomorrow. He gave us a run down of the areas we were visiting, culture, history, you name it, there's even a TV with scenes from movies that were filmed in Brooklyn.
Tony was informative and it was fun, a lot of fun. You can feel the pride & passion that he has for his hometown and it actually makes you want to pack up and move to Brooklyn!
One thing that must be mentioned about the tour......... the PIZZA!!!
Grimaldi's is a fantastic place (great soda from there too), if anyone asks why you're jumping the line, just tell them to "fuggedaboutit".
Spumoni Gardens takes pizza to a whole new level. I love my pizza with plenty of sauce and Spumoni does not disappoint. Sauce, cheese in the dough, great service, I wish I could experience this back home every day. The BEST pizza you'll ever eat!
You will actually get quite full and lucky to say I was able to get some extra servings.
I would recommend that if you're remotely close to New York, you MUST go on this tour. No questions, no excuses, just go, you'll be blown away. |

| This was one of the best organized and entertaining tours we have been on, ever. The bus was waiting for us at the appointed time and location. The guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the districts we visited and interspersed personal anecdotes with facts about the districts we visited which made the tour all the more interesting. The movie clips shown on the bus' video screens added to significance of the districts we visited. The tour absolutely highlighted the best side of Brooklyn
The Pizzas were delicious and the time (4.5 hours) went by quickly and very enjoyably.
There was a nice mix or driving/touring, walking and eating. |

| A great tour despite the weather! Our tour guide Paula was the perfect host, informative, entertaining and always on hand to answer any questions we had.
Pizzas of course were awesome, especially Grimaldi's. Enjoyed the video clips giving a backdrop to where we headed through.
Highly recommended to all who love pizza and who like me wish to see Brooklyn in all its glory! |

| I would like to recommend this tour to everyone who wants to see more from New York than "only" Manhattan. It is a total different world and the picture everyone has from NY will change. I personally would have stayed longer on Coney Island.
The bus was new and the tour guide was friendly, funny and gave a lot of information and the pizza was excellent. When I will come back to NY I will join this tour again. |

| This tour was fun and a great way to see the sights while still being in the comfort of an air conditioned coach. Lots of facts on Brooklyn and pizza was pretty good too--maybe more of a Brooklyn tour rather than a pizza tour--overall a great time was had by all. |
