| Tony was a great tour guide with a wealth of information to share with us about his native Brooklyn. I especially liked how we were shown the clips of movie scenes of areas we were passing and also the wonderful Sicilian Pizza. Highly recommended! |

| The Slice of Brooklyn tour was terrific, Tony, the tour owner and guide knows everything you want to know about Brooklyn since he was born and raised there. The next day, we met friends who had grown up in Brooklyn and they were amazed at how much we now knew about Brooklyn, as well as all the locations we visited. Of course, the pizzas were the absolute best. My wife and I highly recommend this great way to spend an afternoon.

| The tour is much much more than slices of pizza. I have been on and enjoyed several of the Zerve New York tours and this was by far the best. From up under the Brooklyn Bridge, through the many diverse Brooklyn neighborhoods, and browsing around Coney Island - everything was entertaining, educational, and just so much fun. And also the different types of pizza were great. I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting New York. The main difference between this tour and others was the super tour guide - Tony- who has a real passion for Brooklyn and pizza. This is one of the few tours I didn't want to end. |

| The guide was terrific: funny, informed, etc.
The tour was good, weather miserable, but interesting sights. I wish we'd seen more neighborhoods, had second pizza later in the tour so time to digest first. YUM! |

| Whats the best tour in New York? Yankee Stadium tour? Fuhgettaboutit!!!! The best tour in New York is the "Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour." When we booked our vacation, for me the Ultimate Tour was the Yankee Stadium Tour, boy was I wrong!!!(And I'm a huge baseball fan!). My wife and I had the best time. The best thing of the tour is the tour guide and owner Tony. Born, raised and living in Brooklyn he knew the ins and outs of the Bourough like the back of his hand. Obviously he loves the area he grew up! We traveled throughout Brooklyn. From the Brooklyn Bridge to the specific spots where some of the biggest and best movies were filmed, from "Annie Hall" to "Goodfellas".
The bus carried about 36 people and there were video screens throughout the bus. Tony would show us specific locations where these movies were filmed and then play clips from the various movies. What a GREAT concept!!! I'm a big movie fan and it was a surreal feeling to see the various locations in person then to actually see it on film. I also enjoyed walking on the boardwalk of Coney Island and seeing the world famous "Nathan's" hotdog stand. For pretty much the full 4 hours of the tour Tony would point out different places in the city and tell stories only someone who was born and raised in Brooklyn would know. Tony definately was the best part of the tour. My wife would like to adopt him if we could!!
Of course I can't forget about the Pizza!!! We sat down at two of the best pizza places in Brooklyn, Grimaldi's and L & B Spumoni Gardens. Tony sure was right on!! We are from California and I don't know if I could ever go back to eating pizza here at home again after trying these two fabulous pizza restaurants!!
Six stars out of five!!!
The "Slice of Brooklyn Pizza" tour was the highlight of our trip. If you should ever visit New York you would be short changing yourself if you didn't experience this AMAZING tour!!! |

| My wife and I cannot recommend this tour too strongly. We had a wonderful time!
Our tour guide, Paula, is a Brooklyn resident and her deep knowledge, as well as her pride in the area, really made the tour both informative and a lot of fun.
Seeing clips from popular movies we all know, while looking at the actual locations where the filming took place, was a unique experience. Eating pizza at the top locations around Brooklyn simply speaks for itself.
We recommend this tour to anyone who wants a fun, New York experience. If any of our friends want to go on the tour, we would gladly do it again.
On a scale of 1 to 10, A Slice of Brooklyn is an 11!
You should do this!

| I just don't know where to start! We were greeted by this warm. friendly man name Tony. Tony was our tour guide. Tony created an atmosphere like we were his friends in his house and were warmly introduced to other members participating in the tour. Instantly, we felt a sense of belonging! He was so sincere, kind, and really was out to show us what Brooklyn was all about. Being a native NYer. I was taken to sights that I never knew existed. Let alone seeing the sights, the history and information provided by Tony was so detailed and clearly presented. We saw video clips, listened to amazing music, listened to stories about the area.....it was great.
We were taken to many movie sets which took place on Brooklyn's ground. Seeing the sights in person as the movie clips were displayed on the color TV, I felt like I was in the movie.
Should we even begin to mention the pizza shops visited. I'll use only two words.. (1)Delish and (2)Fantastic.
As we walked the coney Island boardwalk, the group was having so much fun and we asked Tony if we can ride the famous Cyclone. As accomadating as he was, he even joined us! Most of the tour participated and a grad time was had by all!
I have told many friends about this tour which, I might add, is the best tour I have been on EVER!
If in NYC, this is a MUST DO! |

| On previous visits to New York, we had never thought of visiting Brooklyn. On our most recent trip, we were tempted by the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour and were in no way disappointed. Tony Muia proved to be a great guide: born and raIsed in the area, he was a mine of information and anecdote; the 2 pizzas we sampled were superb and quite different from each other (the first being Neapolitan and the second Sicilian), and extremely copious. A particular joy for us was stopping in famous movie locations. Who doesn't remember the chase through the streets of New York in the French Connection? And if you couldn't quite remember it, Tony had the extract on video to remind you as you sat there in that very spot. In short, it was a fascinating day, with something for everyone. I cannot praise Tony enough; a real character with a terrific sense of humour, he is the guide you shouild have on every such trip! |

| We always visit Manhattan but never got a chance to see Brooklyn. With the "A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour", we got a tour of Brooklyn and got to eat some great pizza at the same time. The best part was listening to Tony talk about his home town of Brooklyn. Tony showed great pride in growing up in Brooklyn but also made you laugh at some of the traits of the locals. We would recommend this tour and look forward to taking the Christmas Tour with Tony in the future. |
