| We had an amazing time on the tour, Paula, our group leader was extremely well versed in all of the areas surrounding our destinations. Her little facts about the places we visited were the furthest thing from rehersed, and were presented to us with genuine enthusiasm. The pizza was equally superb from both of the restaurants. Overall, we didn't feel so much that we were being guided, as much as we were being showed around like family visiting from out of town. We will be recommending this outing for all of our friends that will be visiting NYC! Also, we would be thrilled to join another tour the next time we visit NYC! Thanks for the experience!

| What a fantastic tour! We had a great time seeing Brooklyn, eating pizza and especially with Paula - the amazing tour guide. Everyone should get to see Brooklyn this way. |

| Although the weather was not perfect, the tour was. Paula was excellent; very charming ( and easy to look at), and very knowledgeable. The tour made us want to come back to Brooklyn, and not just for the pizza, but that would be a necessary start.
My wife, dressed in all black, on a snow covered Coney Island Boardwalk ,made a piece of art. We loved it and so will you. Steven and Rachel Binegar Versailles, Ky |

| My wife saw this tour on the Today Show several months ago. We live in Texas. She was born in Brooklyn and wanted to go on the tour. We signed up and included her brother and sister in law from Queens. The tour far exceeded any expectations. The tour guide was fantastic! We will highly recommend t his tour to anyone we know going to NYC.
As an aside, I know I am probably the only one with this opinion, however, the thick crust pizza was all but inedible.
I would readily take this tour again, only opting for the ice cream instead of the past pizza.

| You must take this tour. You will not be disappointed. The 4 1/2 hours just flew by.
Tony and Danny were great. My grandchildren and I are still talking about it. It was the highlight of our mini-vacation to NY.
Their PopPop wants to experience the "A slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour". I'm certain we'll return! |

| 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. |

| My mother, myself and two sisters took this tour. It was by far the best tour we took while in New York. Tony, our tour guide and the pride owner of Brooklyn Pizza Tour, was knowledgable and well-prepared. Tony made the trip very enjoyable and lots of fun. The pizza was fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits New York. In fact, we recommended it to the concierge at our hotel (The Belevedere), to several tourists that we came in contact with and to the members of my law firm that travel to New York on a regular basis. When we return to New York in the future, we will definitely take the tour again. If anyone would like to call me to discuss the tour, they are more than welcome (Debbie Praytor). Tony, keep up the good work and I know that you will be VERY SUCCESSFUL! |

| Tony has put together a well researched guide to Brooklyn. Combination of personal experiance and hard work make this tour ourstanding.
As a location is passed there is a related film clip highlighting the exact spot as it was captured in movie history.
Tony's outgoing personality and love of his Borough make it a delight.
There is music, fun and great pizza. What could be better. |

| My sister and I have been planning this trip to NYC for a year, and although it was my first time, my sister had been to NYC many times. A friend of her's live in NY and recommended that we go on your tour. And we are really Glad we did. Paula was amazing. She had a whole lot of Brooklyn info for us and had a great time telling us all about her home town. She really made the trip memmorable, that is besides the Pizza. Which was fantastic. Both places were so good and also so different. We will always think of the Pizza Tour as one of the high lights of our trip.
Thanks Paula and the driver (can't remember her name) she was alot of fun also.
