| Although the slices of pizza were delicious, the real highlights of this tour are the stories and insights native Tony provides. An excellent way to learn more about Brooklyn and Brooklynites. |

| our guide Tony did the tour in a very special way,
in the same time, he told us very interesting things about the history of Brooklyn, the buildings and local politics.
I like that, this is much better then the usual stuff, i mean just showing people around and telling stories about buildings and facts that had happen without telling you about the background of all.

| This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting NYC. The enthusiasm of the host and his pride in Brooklyn is infectious. By the end of the tour my son wanted to live there. Yes the pizzas were great, but the memories of Brooklyn are what will stay with us, even the garage where Joe Pesci was whacked in Goodfellas! |

| We found this tour to be delightful. The history and the movie clips really gave you a feel for Brooklyn. The pizza was great too! Tony is a jewel. |

| The Brooklyn Pizza tour was very entertaining.. Tony gave a lot of interesting cultural information about pizza and Brooklyn in general. He was knowledgable about the area and had some great insights. I only wish we made it out to Totanno's also, but overall it was very fun.... |

| The pizza alone would have made the tour worthwhile (my Central Pa. family is hooked on Brooklyn pizza). What made the tour special was seeing the different neighborhoods in Brooklyn, with Tony's colorful and knowledgeable commentary.
I am a native Brooklynite, and seeing the old neighboorhood made me nostalgic for my youth (when Tony pulled out a "Spaldeen" I couldn't stop laughing).
My girlfriend and her daughters got to see a part of NYC I have described many times, but had never seen. Their vision of New York City was Manhattan, now they
know a little about the sites (and tastes) of Brooklyn.
It was an unexpected surprise to go to Coney Island and ride the Cyclone.
They have been on roller-coaster rides before (in Hershey Pa.), but none with any
of the history (which Tony explained) of the Cyclone. The kids are still talking about it.
We got great pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge at our first stop.
Did I say the pizza was terrific ?. It was better than anything I have had since I moved
to Pa.
Tony (and his cousin Jimmy) were soo Brooklyn, I could have grown up with these guys. They clearly loved Brooklyn, and knew so much about Brooklyn. I learned things I never knew (I always remember Robert Moses being portrayed as such a
great developer of Brooklyn, I now know another side). I could go on about the tour,
it was even better than I imagined.
I hadn't been back for 17 years, this tour made me want to go back soon.
I would recommend this tour to any ex-New Yorker's and to anyone who wishes they were from Brooklyn.

| My wife and I had a great time on the tour. Tony was a great guide, Jimmy too, very informative and although we thought 4.5 hours was long (it was for our 7 year old son) the entire group had a great time and our first time in Brooklyn, won't be our last.

| Tony and Jimmy presented an excellent tour. The pizza was awesome and the Coney Island Cyclone was a blast. Their knowledge was immense and we felt like we have a much better appreciation of Brooklyn!! We would definitely recommend this to everyone! |
