| We always visit Manhattan but never got a chance to see Brooklyn. With the "A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour", we got a tour of Brooklyn and got to eat some great pizza at the same time. The best part was listening to Tony talk about his home town of Brooklyn. Tony showed great pride in growing up in Brooklyn but also made you laugh at some of the traits of the locals. We would recommend this tour and look forward to taking the Christmas Tour with Tony in the future. |

| I'm originally from Brooklyn, but have been living in Wisconsin for over 30 years. I took this tour with my wife and my two children, ages 18 and 21. Even though I'm not much of a tour person, I figured I'd enjoy seeing sights I'd hadn't seen in a long time. I wasn't sure about my wife and kids, since they're not from Brooklyn.
Well, all of us had a wonderful time. We were in NYC for 4 days and did some fun stuff, but I think this tour was the highlight for all of us. Tony is just a terrific guide. He's knowledgeable, friendly, and very funny. As another reviewer wrote, he's passionate, engaging, and informative. You can tell this tour is his baby, and he has put his heart into it. Of course, the pizza was truly incredible, a real experience. But the tour is not just about the food. It's also about history, movies, music, mobsters, architecture, politics, neighborhoods, and so much more. We absolutely loved it.
If Tony offers another tour in the future (he mentioned a mobsters tour and a neighborhoods tour), we want in. We would even go on this a second time, it's that good.
And thanks to Danny, our driver. He did an excellent job. |

| We had a wonderful time touring Brooklyn and seeing the sights and feasting on some of the best pizza on the planet. I felt like a wide eyed kid again, on vacation, with a great host. Tony knows Brooklyn and pizza, he and Dan do a great job of getting you around in style to see a slice of Brooklyn, a piece of New York, and best of all, a slice of life, that will be unforgettable. |

| We had a brilliant time on this tour, and Tony was a passionate, engaging and informative guide whose passion for Pizza and Brooklyn shone clearly.
The tour bus was very comfortable and screens above our heads gave us lots of great film clips to watch as we toured through the streets of Brooklyn.
The pizza at both restaurants was great, though we preferred Grimaldi's for the flatter base and great flavours.
All in all, a great tour and highly recommended! |

| What a great day and fun way to learn about Brooklyn. As long time visitors to Manhatten, we never made it to Brooklyn. This time, we wanted to change that.
Tony made the tour -- informed, colorful, funny and genuinely in love with Brooklyn. His musical and movie clips added to the color. The pizza was great (I liked the thin the best!!) and the overview of the borough was outstanding.
Highly recommend the tour -- for adults and kids of all ages. |

| THis was a great tour with Tony as our guide. WE had two teengaers that thought it was awesome as did we. Well worth the time and money. We are looking forward to other tours of brooklyn under development. Also, would have liked to but a t-shirt but they ran out of large sizes before we could get one. So we had to FORGETBOUTIT! |

| Tony's A Slice Of Brooklyn tour is without a doubt, one of the best, most informative,truly entertaining, and delicious tours I've ever been on. Tony's knowledge of his subject, and sincerity , and sense of humor, make it a must-do!! I'll recommend it to anyone visiting New York City!! Frank Capaldi Pittsburgh, Pa. |

| Tony-
I didn't remember the bump at the bottom of the Parachute Drop so I guess it was consistent with the rest of the ride.
I never let go on The Cyclone.
My family and I had a great time and we tried to go back to LB's but they were, of course, closed for Christmas.
Thanks,

| My wife and I signed up for the tour after seeing it profiled on the Today Show. After reading the rave reviews on the website we were expecting a good tour but it was even better than anticipated. As well the pizza was great! We would recommend the tour without reservation to anyone coming to the New York area. |
