| Those are the things that come to my mind when I think back on the tour I took. "A Slice of Brooklyn" was the highlight of my trip not necessarily because of the pizza which is good, but the knowledge, and passion that Tony gives as the tour guide is very uplifting almost spiritual. I only which i felt as passionate about something as he seems to feel about his home neighborhood. His attitude made the whole trip fun and educational. Put that with great pizza some interesting movie clips, and a ride on a great wooden roller coaster you have a recipe for fun. These are only some of the reasons you should do this tour. Others include the small group so you actually get to talk and meet people, VIP treatment at the restraunts where you get to avoid the lines and walk right in. I cannot encourage you any more than to tell you to spend your money and have some fun with A Slice of Brooklyn, you won't regret it. |

| I have taken many guided tours in the USA and Europe and can attest without hesitation that Tony Muia is the best tour guide I have experienced. He is knowledgeable and passionate about Brooklyn. Tony made everyone on the tour feel welcome and readily answered questions. The tour includes stops at two pizzerias and the food is plentiful and delicious. We even had time to explore the boardwalk at Cony Island and ride the Cyclone. I highly recommend this tour. Thanks, Tony! |

| Words cannot express how much I enjoyed this tour. If you are thinking of visting NYC and staying in Manhattan then think again. I can honestly say I enjoyed 4.5 hrs in Brooklyn better than 1 week in Manhattan. The pizza is to die for, dont pig out at Grimaldis because there is Sicilian coming up! There was a sense about Brooklyn that really got me, I cant say just what but a vibe.
If you are a mafia buff you will love Bensonhurst. Coney Island is great and even the projects are interesting. Above all, the guide Tony is just wonderful. He had a great knowledge without being pushy and he seems like he truly cares about Brooklyn but more importantly the tour itself and the customers. Will do the tour again when next in NYC for sure! |

| The tour is a real treat. I enjoyed every minute of it. Tony knows his Brooklyn. He gave us some fascinating insight about Brooklyn’s more recent history and lead us to some of the most characteristic places of the borough. Besides that the pizza at Grimaldi’s and L&B Spumoni Gardens was excellent (so was the ‘spumoni’). A special highlight of the tour creates Tony with clips from various famous movies which were shot in Brooklyn (e.g. Saturday Night Fever, French Connection, etc). which he shows on the on board video system, masterfully timed at precisely the moment when the tour bus reaches the location where the shots were taken and when we had the same angle of view as in the movie. It makes you feel as if you were part of the scene. Amazing ! |

| Tony is a breath of fresh Brooklyn air. Very knowledgable about pizza and of course Brooklyn. This is a must DO, when visiting New York. The air conditioned, bathroomed, roomy tour bus made the travel so comfortable. The video and audio clips linked everything together very nicely. My wife and I (from Arizona) have been to Brooklyn a few times in the past still learned many things about the city we love. |

| I was staying in Manhattan for a week but i also wanted to learn a bit about Brooklyn and see it! This was an awesome tour and Tony really makes the whole thing a lot of fun. He's very friendly, looks after you, and as he grew up and still lives in Brooklyn he has a wealth of knowledge and many stories to share. The pizza was great too! My favourite part of the tour was visiting coney island - great history there. |

| Get out of Manhattan, already!
Great pizza, and interesting overview of the Borough. Well worth it. |
