| Tony, his uncle Louie and his cousins provide a fascinating introduction to parts of Brooklyn that as previous tourists, we'd never visited before. While it isn't hard to see Dumbo or Coney Island when you visit NYC, getting to Bay Ridge, L&B's Spumoni Garden, Brighton Beach and other less frequented spots gives a great overall sense of the borough. The clips from famous movies filmed in Brooklyn as you're driving right by those spots really makes for a great afternoon...and not waiting in line for the tasty pizza is an extra bonus. |

| We take a tour in every city we visit, and have taken quite a few in NYC. We would consider this one of the best overall. The tour itself was interesting and informative. Tony was an excellent guide, with great enthusiasm for his hometown - which transferred to all of us! The pace of the tour was well thought out, too - just enough on/off stops, and "in the seat" time was well mixed with information from Tony and fun video clips. Our group was most impressed with the details of the tour - the van was very nice, well air conditioned, with easy to see video screens. Windows were huge - so even if you did not have a window seat, you could see well. The group size (ours was 28) was perfect - made it easy to get on/off the van. Tony even had the driver stay with the van at all times so you did not have to lug your stuff around at each stop! The pizza WAS the best -as was the spumoni that we treated ourselves to at the last stop. As we never have more than a few days in the City, we are always quite picky about how we choose to spend our time. This was 3 1/2 hours very well spent & we are already talking about taking one of his other tours on our next visit! |

| My husband and I are from Long Island and went to the tour with friends who were visiting from Virginia. We absolutely loved the tour. Tony, our guide, was so informative and his passion for Brooklyn really came through. Manhattan from the Brooklyn side is just beautiful. I felt very proud to be a New Yorker!
The pizza was delicious--we really enjoyed both styles, the thin-crust from Grimaldi's and the Sicilian from L & B Spumoni Gardens. Also, the spumoni (not included in the price) was well worth it!
We thank Tony and Uncle Louis for a terrific day! |

| My wife and I went on the Brooklyn Pizza tour and were met by Tony and his Uncle Louie. They couldn't have been friendlier. We entered a very comfortable bus and for over four hours had an exceptionally informative and humorous tour of Brooklyn. The Pizza stops were to die for and the home made spumoni was so delicious. Tony- our tour guide-was excellent. His love for Brooklyn was quite evident and certainly helped make the tour such an enjoyable event. It was only minutes after the tour began that we knew we were in for an exceptional 4-5 hours and we enjoyed and savored every minute of it. We could not believe how quickly the time went by and how much fun we had. Beside the great pizza, the tour also played clips from films shot in Brooklyn. As the movie clips were playing our bus was travelling the very locations that were on the screen. Of course, Tony was very knowledgable of the background of the films and shared that information with us. This concept made you feel as though you were almost part of the film. I would have to say that if a rating system had a star rating with one star being the lowest and five stars being the highest-this tour would rate six stars. Yes, it really was that good. If you take the tour bring a big appetite and be prepared for one of the best experiences you will have. My wife and I have been on many tours and found this one to be one of the very best. |
