| Tony is wonderful on this tour, his knowledge on Brooklyn is outstanding.
He makes it a lot of fun for everybody. It's probably one of the BEST things we did in New York, I highly recommed this to anyone.
It's the best 41/2 hours I have spent. |

| 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. |

| What a day!
I learned so much about Brooklyn as I had never been there. My husband, who is from New York City, also thoroughly enjoyed the tour as Tony made it so interesting and entertaining. The pizza and spumoni were..... AMAZING!!!!!

| Brought back memories.Went to Brighton beach & Coney Island as a child.Very thorough tour & the pizza was great.One problem the guy behind me was on the phone constantly.I turned a few times & told him how rude he was,as I couldn't hear what Tony was saying.Phones should be shut off during tour.Certainly have enough stops to use the phone then. |

| The tour was well-organized, informative and lots of fun with a nice combination of riding on the bus and getting out and walking. Our guide Tony brought the different neighborhoods to life and we loved how the scenes from different movies were shown on the screens on the bus as we were passing by the locations where they were filmed. The pizza was delicious too. And be assured there is plenty to eat. |

| I have taken part in a number of tours. By far, A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour is one of my favorites. I went for my husband's birthday with friends and we couldn't have asked for a better time. Our tour guide, Tony, combined Brooklyn street smarts with historical facts and movie clips to deliver a tour that is both funny and informative. The tour really inspires you to want to learn all there is to know about Brooklyn. Too boot, L&B Spumoni Gardens serves the best Sicilian slice of pizza I've ever eaten! Thanks for a great time! |

| I have been on other tours during our trips to NYC, but this is by far the best. It is well worth the money. The pizza would cost a lot on it's own but it is included in the price. Tony is a wonderful tour guide and really puts his heart into the presentation. I only wish that I could be back in NYC to take his Christmas Lights Tour. Some of the other people on the tour were repeat customers. When we talked to some of the "repeaters" before the tour I was thinking it rather foolish of them to keep coming back. After we had such a good time I could see why. If we get back to NYC I will definitely be a repeat customer myself! |

| Learning about Brooklyn was fascinating. Maria, our guide, was knowledgeable
and authentic! There is so much history intertwined with trivia, movie clips,
humor, and yes! pizza as well. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting
the area. |

| Tony gave an amazing tour of Brooklyn, combining Brooklyn's role in history, the arts, sports and, of course pizza! Among the most creative aspects of the tour was Tony's use of the DVD to show movie segments each of which took place in the exact spot we were at the moment the segment was shown. Clearly, the creation of this tour was a labor of love with incredible attention to detail.
My husband was skeptical about the tour as he feared it would be just about pizza, in the end he enjoyed it immensely. We recommend renaming the tour - something like "Brooklyn with a slice... "
Good luck with future tour development and continued success with this one.

| This was one of the best organized and entertaining tours we have been on, ever. The bus was waiting for us at the appointed time and location. The guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the districts we visited and interspersed personal anecdotes with facts about the districts we visited which made the tour all the more interesting. The movie clips shown on the bus' video screens added to significance of the districts we visited. The tour absolutely highlighted the best side of Brooklyn
The Pizzas were delicious and the time (4.5 hours) went by quickly and very enjoyably.
There was a nice mix or driving/touring, walking and eating. |
