| 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.

| We were a group of five - one female friend from Israel, my husband and I from California and our son and his wife who live in Manhattan. Our son and his wife have lived in NY for ten years (West Village and Hell's Kitchen) and really enjoyed seeing different areas of Brooklyn they've never seen before. We look forward to Tony's tours of other neighborhoods. Our Israeli friend was very glad she came and would recommend this to her friends.Tony is very personable, enthusiastic and genuinely loves Brooklyn. Of course we enjoyed the pizza as well. |

| This tour was fantastic! My friend and I had a great time. I live in NYC, but I would never have made it out to all of those places in Brooklyn on my own. The stop in Coney Island was especially fun. The tour guide did a great job of explaining the history of Brooklyn and of New York's best pizzerias, and she even told us a few exciting Mob stories. Pertinent movie clips were seamlessly incorporated, as well (the van had mouted TVs). It was pretty cool to get to see, for example, John Travolta walking down a street in "Saturday Night Fever" and then get to drive down that actual road in Brooklyn. It was also amazing to see the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges from so many angles.
The pizza was absolutely phenomenal, as well. Just don't make the mistake of eating breakfast before this tour. You want to go on it hungry, believe me.
Have fun!

| My husband and I saw the segment on the Today Show and felt that we had to go. It looked like it was a fun trip and the pizza looked great! Tony did not disappoint--it was better than we imagined it to be. We saw some beatiful sites that we never would have found on our own and we have some beautiful pictures of our trip. Tony was very passionate about his "home" and it showed in his presentation. He was funny, had great stories and knew such interesting details about Brooklyn that kept everyone interested and laughing. The pizza was absolutely delicious. I was worried because I am a very picky eater but I left stuffed from both places. Both pizzerias were packed but Tony had tables for us and got us in and out very quickly. We had a fabulous time and look forward to attending the holiday lights tour. |

| I have always heard so many references to Brooklyn on television and in movies, and now I know why. Brooklyn is where it is at! This tour is so fascinating and so much fun! Tony makes you feel as if you have known him forever with his personal side notes and very informative tour of Brooklyn, which includes movie clips that coincide with the tour. We learned about famous people from Brooklyn, history and buildings, movies made there, ate pizza there and saw many of the neighborhoods. It was a wonderful day, and I can see why the people of Brooklyn love it so much. It truly is a wonderful place and the tour was one of the highlights of our trip to New York. If you want to do something different than visiting the usual New York sites, go on this tour, and you will want to come back and revisit Brooklyn and explore it further. I promise. |

| I went on this tour with my college age daughter, and we both had a super time! Tony was an excellent guide, being both personable and informed. He had many funny stories and showed scenes from movies when we were actually "on location" in the bus. It was great to see where John Travolta walked down the street strutting his stuff in Saturday Night Fever, and the pizza shop he stopped at, plus other areas where famous chase scenes were filmed in other movies! There were two pizza stops where we got to indulge in both Sicilian and Neopolitan styles, and topped it off with spumoni! We especially enjoyed another stop at Coney Island, where we got to walk on the boardwalk and see the Cyclone and Wonder Wheel, along with the other "endangered" amusements. We also got to see Nathan's and the beach, and to take photos of this historical area. There was a stop under the Brooklyn Bridge area, which gave us spectacular views of Manhattan, and an excursion around some of the more expensive homes in Brooklyn. All in all, we had a great day, and everyone on the trip seemed highly pleased with the tour. You can't help but love the sights, the food, and Tony! We'd love to go again. |

| I had a blast getting to know Brooklyn-a borough literally in my own backyard. The pizzas were the best! I would definitely go there again and I HIGHLY recommend the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour. This tour will change your impression of Brooklyn!!! |

| This tour was so much more than yummy pizza. It wasn't "touristy" and there was not a dull moment. Tony made it a fun roadtrip and showed us all of the coolest spots in Brooklyn - spots you don't read about in your NYC books. It was also crucial to get VIP entry to Grimaldi's and cut the 1 hr+ line to get in :) |

| If you want a relaxing day with lots of food, and a friendlier than most - tour guide.....this is for you! It is a great way to see Brooklyn, with movie scenes and little stories thrown in. Nice photo ops also! |
