| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Tony is delightful and always aiming to please. He is filled with so much information about Brooklyn as well as the movie clips that featured spots that we were viewing. He has enthusiasm and is well-prepared. When we get back to NYC we'll probably try one of his other tours that he is working on. Looking forward to another trip to Brooklyn. Who would have thunk it?? |

| Tony, his uncle Louie and his cousins provide a fascinating introduction to parts of Brooklyn that as previous tourists, we'd never visited before. While it isn't hard to see Dumbo or Coney Island when you visit NYC, getting to Bay Ridge, L&B's Spumoni Garden, Brighton Beach and other less frequented spots gives a great overall sense of the borough. The clips from famous movies filmed in Brooklyn as you're driving right by those spots really makes for a great afternoon...and not waiting in line for the tasty pizza is an extra bonus. |

| A fabulous day of great food and an incredible tour of Brooklyn. Tony is a virtual encyclopedia of knowledge of his home town. From the homes on Shore Rd to the streets of Bensonhurst where "the boys" hung out, I had no idea of the vast complexity and beauty and history there. Eating at Grimaldi's was like going into another time. The history of the place is worth knowing, and the pizza is like nothing you've ever had. Make sure you enjoy an "Olde Brooklyn" soda with your pizza. Driving down the exact streets, while Tony showed bits of parts of famous movies was really exciting. I haven't been to Coney Island since the mid- 50's, but thanks to Tony, got to walk the boardwalk one more time.....and the Cyclone still works. Having been born in Brooklyn in 1945, and growing up on the Island, I can only say to Tony....Thank you Thank you Thank you. While in the City this time, my wife and I went to my 45th Class Reunion, saw the Jersey Boys on Broadway and went to Saint Gennaro's Feast in Little Italy. Tony's tour of Brooklyn was a stellar point of our trip. Thank you again Tony, and best wishes to you and Paula and Dave...Bob & Bonnie Caggiano |

| 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 makes all efforts in order to provide fun to the guests. He teachs us on pizza history but also on Brooklyn: the tour is very well organised: we visited the best places in Brooklyn, including most famous places where movies were made, and learn about Brooklyn history. We ate in two different pizzeria. The bus is very comfortable. Tony has reached his objective: changing the perception of people on Brooklyn.
MANHATTAN? FORGET ABOUT IT!!!!!! |
