| My husband and I went on this tour on November 2. It was very enjoyable. Tony was really knowledgeable about the area and trivia questions asked of him by the group. The food was great and the video clips augmented the tour very well. Tony was flexible about people's interests and let a part of the group go to Nathan's for hot dogs and re-join us after the boardwalk. This was an all-round great day and we would recommend it to anyone. Not your typical tour! The only suggestion would be to pre-warn the group of the limited restroom facilities at the first restaurant upon arrival to speed up the wait time afterwards. |

| Fantastic pizza, good company, and a very knowledgable and funny guide. The way the film clips play as you pass a particular street or building is very clever! I personally think one more restaurant could have been added to make it a real pizza crawl - not that we went away hungry! Some fascinating stories and anecdotes along the way. Basically a really great day out - thanks Tony. Look forward to seeing you next time we're in town |

| I enjoyed Tony's knowledge of Brooklyn. It was nice to learn so much more than I already knew and see neighborhoods I would otherwise never venture to. The pizza joints he brought us to were delicious. We were stuffed when we left.

| I have been on several tours and this one tops them all. Tony is a fantastic tour guide with a great sense of humor and very well informed. He has certainly done his homework. The pizza's were great and the timing between stops was perfect. If you want a fun-filled day this is for you!!! |

| The new bus, the area, the pizza, and Tony made our day. I mean "fuhgettaboudit." This tour is one of our best experiences in New York. When we heard about the tour on the Today Show, I didn't get too excited. We laughed, ate, and became immersed in the wonderful culture of Brooklyn. Unlike the scripted monotone tour guides we were expecting, Tony is vibrant, enthusiastic straight shooter who tells it like he sees it. He is knowledgeable and entertaining with stories that reflect his love of Brooklyn and its history. His attitude and obivious love for his home is so sincere that at the end of the tour you wish you were from Brooklyn. |

| It's not often that you can have so much fun and learn so much at the same time. We found Tony to be very accomodating to our needs. He had great enthusiasm for Brooklyn and that in turn translated to each tour participant. We hope that as his business grows, he will be able to employ individuals with the same knowledge and enthusiasm for Brooklyn.
The bus was very comfortable and the video screens helped enhance the experience. It is obvious that Tony has done a lot of research and has a very personal love for Brooklyn.
We are from New Mexico and do not get to the Brooklyn area frequently, but on our next trip we look forward to the neighborhood tour. We have enthusiastically recommended his tours to everyone we talk to. |

| We have traveled all over the world and this is, without a doubt, one of, if not the best, tours we have taken. Tony is wonderful, friendly, fun and full of great information. The work he has put into this trip with the relevant music and video clips of movies that were made in Brooklyn does nothing but enhance the experience. AND, the pizza stops were so good! Two different types of pies to experience. Don't miss it! |

| The tour was OK but the best parts are when you are not on the bus.-----the Brooklyn Bridge and Coney Island Boardwalk. The rest just goes by in a blur. The pizza places had some atmosphere but I did not think the pies were particularly great. The spumoni was great!! |
