| 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 |

| 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. |

| Really enjoyed myself on this tour, which was filled with unexpected things like a visit to the boardwalk at Coney Island as well as other film sites. The pizza was fantastic - now I know where to go next time. Tony is great - one can see he really loves what he is doing ! Highly recommended - you won't regret taking this very enjoyable tour of Brooklyn. There's definitely more to NY than Manhattan ! |

| Would recommend this tour to anyone - Tony is so friendly and really knows his stuff. The pizza was amazing, and the DVD clips of the different films set in Brooklyn were really interesting. I think anyone would enjoy this tour (except those freaks who don't like pizza....). Would give it 10/10! |

| We attended the pizza tour on 15 October 2007 and we throughly enjoyed it. We got lots of good pizza and Tony was outstanding, funny and informative which made for a great day in Brooklyn. We recommended this tour to everyone and we will definitely be telling our friends back home in Scotland to go! |

| Just got back from this tour, and It was great ! not to take away from any of the other good tours i have taken while in NYC but The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour has been the best ! Tony the guide, was very entertaining, quick witted, informative and kept the mood in the whole tour group on a real high the entire way through. His passion for the area and subject matter of the tour really showed the whole way and he covered everything from movie locations, local history, anecdotes and pizza history ! and of course we stopped at two truly amazing Brooklyn pizzerias.
Defintley one of the best and most original tours I have ever taken ! |

| This was a really good tour: a friendly and very knowledgeable tour guide and a good combination of coach and walking. The pizza was delicious and it was interesting to try the two completely different types. I loved seeing the sidewalk from the opening of Saturday Night Fever and Coney Island was great - perhaps a bit longer there would have been good.
Excellent value for money and heartily recommended |

| I was a little wary of how good this tour would actually be to be honest. Although having now done the tour, I must highly recommend this to any person visiting New York and the surrounding areas. I am disabled, however there were no really long walks etc, however I would possibly recommend to Tony that he gets a bus with lower steps on it, as the steps on the bus did prove a struggle. I guess New York doesn't really cater for disabled people, what with its bustling non stop daily life.
Now back to the tour itself .... Tony and Jimmy were great fun. Tony constantly spoke to the group at all times, and informed of places where movies had been made etc. I couldn't believe that so much had actually taken place in Brooklyn!!! My favourite pizza was in the pizzaria wher Old Blue Eyes himself (Frank Sinatra) requented. I didn't particularly like the one we had at the pizzaria where the guys from The Sopranos go. But you win some and you lose some eh?
Anyway what are you waiting for people .... get on the website and book to go on this tour .... if you don't you'll only live to regret it my friends!
Ciao Tony |

| 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! |
