| After seeing this unique tour on the today show I knew I had to include it in "things to do" when my parents came to visit me in NYC for the first time. I am so glad we did! We were greeted very kindly by "Uncle Louie" when we arrived at Manhattan's Union Square. We jumped on the bus and met our two lovey lady tour guides! Please forgive me but I am horrible with names. Anywho, I certaintly appreciated the detail and knowledge of the tour guides. I have lived in Queens now for about one year and had never explored Brooklyn like this. We were able to take beautiful pictures of Manhattan from Brooklyn along with great views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. The pizza was great as well. I have heard of Grimaldi's but never of L&B Spumoni Gardens. This silcian pizza is super delicious! I will be going back know that I know which train to take! My parents were equally amazed by this tour. Being from TX they won't soon forget about their journey through this delightful borough. This is well worth the money and your time! The double decker tour buses have nothing on the Brooklyn Pizza Tour. |

| My husband is from Chicago and is what I like to call a "pizza snob". We had a blast on our tour and I enjoyed watching him dig in to the Best of Brooklyn's pizza.
I normally love my thin crust pizza, but L&B's was my FAVORITE!!!
We recommend the tour. A bit pricey but worth every penny. |

| The tour was wonderful. One of the best I have ever taken. Tony, being a native of Brooklyn, was an outstanding guide. The tour was fast moving, and varied. I loved the way he took us to movie locations, and then showed the video of the movie that involved the location. I learned alot and the two places we stopped for pizza were excellent. I was with a group of 15 middle aged women and we all loved it. I have already recommended it to many of my friends. |

| This tour was a great value. It was long enough to show us a lot of interesting places in Brooklyn and on the Manhattan side as we started and ended the tour. The bus we travelled in was very nice. The driver would let us off at one of the tour stops and pick us up a long the way-no need for us to walk back. The pizzerias were good. It depends on what you like. Most of us liked the first stop with the coal fired pizza and were so-so on the second stop with the Sicilian style pizza. The tour guides -Tony (very knowledgable) and his cousin were excellent although they could have benefitted from a speaking system and microphone when we were off the bus at some sites. Stand close since the traffic/subway noise can be loud at times, especially near the Brooklyn bridge. All iin all -highly recommended. |

| I took the pizza tour on the advice of friends who took it a few months back. I expected to have a good time like they said, but the tour exceeded my expectations. The first thing I noticed was how nice the bus is. It's clean, comfortable and I could easily see from both sides of the bus. Danny, the driver, did a great job getting us around the borough. Tony, the tour guide, was joined by his Uncle Louie and his two cousins Paula and Maria. Tony said that he's hiring family members as he's expanding his company, so Paula and Maria did parts of the tour along with Tony and they all did a great job. I found out that his cousin Maria had actually been a tour guide in Italy. His uncle Louie is the real deal, he's as Brooklyn as it gets.The entire day I felt like a part of the family. My favorite part of the tour, besides the amazing pizza at both stops, was to be able to actually stand on the legendary boardwalk at Coney Island. This tour is worth every penny and I'll recommend it to all my friends. I'll be back to take Tony's other tours as well. Good luck Tony! |

| Tony and his entire family were a joy to be with. We had the best experience of our entire vacation in New York City. The tour lasted a little bit longer than planned but we could have gone on for hours listening to the stories that were told and seeing all the sights of Brooklyn. We would book the tour again and again. |

| We had heard 'on the grapevine' that this was a great tour, not just for great food but for the quality of the tour of Brooklyn and the fun had. Interestingly it was not offered by travel agents here (Queensland, Australia) and I had to go on the internet to find out more. I was impressed by the detail on the website and the reviews posted. I booked on line easily and was also impressed by the details given answering all questions commonly asked. The tour was professional, fun, informative, and educational along with a comfortable, new bus to get us round, video clips on the bus, and excellent commentary by Tony and his family. This combined with excellent pizza and we tried the spumoni, (a treat to die for) all made for a tour to be recommended highly, great use of time in New York, and value for money. |
