| The first I heard of the Pizza Brooklyn Tour was from an article in the Times back in February of 2007. It looked like a great thing to do and was very easy to book.The trip to New York was a 21st birthay present for our twin sons and this seemed something that guys of their age would enjoy. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Tony was a superb guide, a man that was not only passionate about pizza but passionate about his home town of Brooklyn. It really felt like being shown around by a friend. Both sorts of pizza were superb and having been to Sicily I can vouch for the authenticity. The visit to Coney Island and the boardwalk realised a long held ambition by my wife, her only complaint was she would have liked time to go onto the beach and paddle. We met some lovely people on the tour, sitting down with strangers and at the end of the day feeling that you were with friends is a great achievment. The film clips of Brooklin was an inspiration and we have enyoyed telling friends about DUMBO. Thank you Tony for giving me and my family a day to remember. |

| This was our first trip to Brooklyn, but it definitely won't be our last. Paula was an engaging and enthusiastic tour guide with a lot of information about her home town. The pies are like no other...one a thin & crispy crust & the other one is thicker & melts in your mouth. I couldn't tell you which one I liked more...they were both wonderful. We will be back to try one of the other Brooklyn tours and to eat some more pie:-) Thanks for a wonderful day, Paula!!! |

| Tony makes a great ambassador to his beloved Brooklyn. His attention to details and knowledge of his subject added so much to this tour. We learned so much of the history and background of Brooklyn and saw much more on this tour than we had expected. The movie sites, Coney Island, Brighton Beach....all places that we had heard and read about for years, were all included. Oh, and the pizza was great, too! You will not go wrong when you book this tour....it is worth every penny! |

| We all loved the tour and saw a part of NYC that we never would have seen. I recommend this tour to anybody interested in seeing something outside Manhattan, especially if you love Pizza. |

| The tour was well organised. The tour leader and driver were very friendly and imformative. At the pick up point our first introduction was the tour leader getting off the bus to meet us with a smile and a positive approach which made us feel very welcome. Learnt a lot about the history and information on Brooklyn which we would not have known unless we had taken the tour. The pizza's were to die for. Did not feel rushed at any time. We were travelling with teenage boys and they loved it.
Strongly recommend this tour. |

| I would highly recommend this trip, especially if you haven't been to Brooklyn. You will see where some famous movies have been filmed (Saturday Night Fever, Goodfellas, The French Connection, etc.). Tony has an excellent personality, is easy to talk with and is very knowledgeable of Brooklyn. We had a lot of laughs, good pizza and good sites a long the way. I'm anxious to see what he puts together for the 'Mob' tour, especially, the VIP tour.
There is more to this tour than pizza (which is good...by the way) |

| We had the BEST time on this tour...it is truly a don't miss. You might think you know everything there is to know about Brooklyn, but FUHGETTABOUTDIT!!! You will learn so many things that your head with be spinning with facts, but you'll remember them all when you view great movies again, like Saturday Night Fever, Goodfellas, Annie Hall, etc, etc...but wait there is more. Pizza,lots of it and incredible eats at that. The restaurants were originals and that is a just a small part of the history of these places.
Tony, you are one heck of a great tour guide and we hope that one day you expand your tour business to cover other incredible NY neighborhoods as well. You are well needed out there in the tour business. We are highly recommending this tour for anyone who think they know Brooklyn history (but will soon learn otherwise) and are true foodies! |

| Tony is a wonderful tour guide -- he's enthusiastic, entertaining and you can't help but have some of that rub off on you. In some ways, it feels as though he's taking the tour with you. He points out all the sights and shows you clips just as you're going past the locations. Tony also will tell you about anything Brooklyn you want to know, from where to get a T-shirt to where the bodies are buried (he he). He truly loves his borough.
Above all, he takes you to two wonderful pizza places that make you wish you could box some up and take it back home with you. And he rides the Cyclone with anyone who wants to go -- you have to give him bonus points for that! This tour is more than worth what he charges. My husband and I would go again in a heartbeat. |

| The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was a wonderful and relaxing way to spend a day and get to know about Brooklyn - to say nothing of getting to sample some truly delicious pizza. Tony, our tour guide, was great - extremely knowledgeable, personable, and very professional. We highly recommend the tour. |
