| We had a wonderful time. Tony was funny, informative and said just enough about everything. The tour was just long enough. The pizza was great! We also loved the movie clips and CD's that were played. We never knew Brooklyn was such a great place. Brooklyn should pay Tony for the PR. We were also very impressed with the cleanliness of the bus. We loved that we did not have to wait for a seat to eat pizza. Tony spoke about hiring more tour directors. I cannot imagine anyone else being as effective as he was. The authentic Brooklyneeze and first hand knowledge just cannot be duplicated. We plan on doing the Christmas lights tour and any other tours we can fit in. But we really want Tony; |

| Tony is passionate about Brooklyn and it comes through clearly by his enthusiasm and knowledge of it.
You can't help enjoying this tour as well as walking away with some interesting facts about Brooklyn.
The pizza is worth the trip!! |

| 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! |

| We had a great time on Tony's tour! It was the highlight of another incredible trip to NYC. The stops for pizza made it unlike other tours of NYC and both places were great! It was especially fun to walk right in when there was a line down the block at Grimaldi's. It was a unique experience to sit down in Brooklyn for a slice with tourmates from around the world, getting to know each other and finding out why Tony was so passionate about Brooklyn and PIZZA. Tony was full of info from US history and the growth of the borough, to pop culture, Brooklyn-born celebs, and the mob. (We will definitely be back for his "Wise Guys" tour about the mob in Brooklyn!) Jumping off the bus in front of the Brooklyn Bridge and for a walk down the Coney Island boardwalk, two places that are simply iconic as New York landmarks and as the backdrops of movies seen all over the world, actually took my breath away. The tour was absolutely worth every penny! |

| This tour was well worth our time. The pizza was fantastic, the stops made along the way were great to showcase Brooklyn's highlights. Most importantly, Tony (tour director) was fantastic (very knowledgeable of facts, names, and dates) and very well organized and enthusiastic about his presentation. Lots of fun! |

| My friend and I, both originally from NYC, decided to take the Brooklyn Pizza Tour because we love pizza and really had only slight knowledge of Brooklyn. We were blown away. Your host, TONY, is great. He is funny, kind, intelligent and a real gentlemen. He took care of each of us as if we were his best friends and believe me we felt like we were best friends by the end of the tour.
Tony not only knows about pizza, he is a wealth of information on Brooklyn neighborhoods, the Brooklyn Bridge, Coney Island and every movie that was ever filmed in his home town. This is a "don't miss" tour that you and any family or friends would enjoy. It is a taste of Brooklyn that makes you want more. We plan to tour with Tony the next time we visit NYC, which we both hope will be soon.
A REAL WINNER!!! |

| This tour was terrific, tasty and totally recommendable! Tony is a magical host and the tour was much more than a slice of pizza. My brother and I have travelled to New York on many occasions and I thought that I may find this sort of thing 'too touristy', but I can honestly say it was one of the best things I have ever done in New York. The Sicilian pizza at Spumoni Gardens is the most incredible thing I have ever tasted.
Go grab a slice of Brooklyn with Tony and Uncle Louis! |

| JIm and I took one of the first tours with Tony several years ago.....We couldn't finish the tour at that time because of flight plans........We brought friends back to nyc with one of the highlights to finish the experience......Much to our delight, it was bigger and better!!!! Tony is an entertainer as well as an accomplished speaker....an added touch was the introduction of Uncle Louie who made everyone feel right at home in Brooklyn......the weather was perfect, the food was delicious, and the pictures captured our experinces well.......Can't wait to return with others to show them Brooklyn through Tony's Slice of Brooklyn Tour!!!!!!!..........Peggy Feltham |
