| Just home from 6 nights in New York and took the Slice of Brooklyn tour while there. I cant recommend this tour highly enough. I have beeen to N.Y. with my husband several times before and had even been to Brooklyn before but nothing like this! From the moment we met Tony in wonderful New York sunshine we were exposed to his exceptional local knowledge of the area and his great love of his home town of Brooklyn was highly contagious! All the highlights of the borough are covered in this tour and the area's significant place in film history is effectively captured in the film clips shown as you pass the various sites where they were shot. You really feel like you are a part of the action! Of course the pizza was good also but it was Tony himself that was the star of the show for us. Exceptional value for money....be sure to book this tour.....you wont regret it!

| Tony was absolutely fabulous. He is a fun, knowlegeable, friendly guy who made the tour worth taking. There was alot of variety in the tour. A person got a chance to visit a park, go to two famous pizza places, walk the Coney Island boardwalk, see film about famous flims on location and then view through pictures important people who came from Brooklyn. This is my second time and I will go again if I'm in New York. I loved this tour, very professional , informative and fun. Claudia Huntsinger Salem, Oregon |

| This trip has something for everyone. Fanastic sights, information delivered by an enthusiastic, charistmatic and well informed guide, great movie clips to make locations come to life and the best pizza we have ever tasted.
This was the best trip of our family holiday to New York and we have already recommended it to all of our friends. We are looking forward to the promised Mob Tour and will definately be coming back over for that.
The atmosphere in the restaurants was great - we could have happily spent the day there too - particularly Grimaldi's - our favourite (although a close thing!).
Thank you for a wonderful day with lots of happy memories and don't forget to tell us when you're Mob Tour is up and running.

| Great way to learn about and experience Brooklyn. The pizza was excellent and plentiful in both places. However, it was a bit pricey and we were disappointed with our tour guide. Tony, the owner who came highly recommended was MIA that day. |

| My husband and I took this tour. We live in CT and have spent a lot of time in Manhattan, but never ventured into Brooklyn before. (JFK doesn't count!) The meeting stop was easy to reach by subway. The bus was comfortable with enough leg room for my husband's long legs. It was a lovely sunny day, so the views were spectacular. Brooklyn is a fabulous vantage point from which to see lower Manhattan. Our tour guide, Paula was fun and informative. She was obviously very proud of "her" borough and was right when she said we will come back again. This tour was a good introduction to Brooklyn with some delicious pizza along the way. My husband liked the thin-crust at Grimaldi's while I preferred the thick-crust at L & B. We took this tour on a whim, but will definitely be back for another round when we have visitors in town. In the meantime, we will be exploring Brooklyn on our own now that we have a good starting point. Thank you to Paula and Kevin, the driver, for a fun and delicious tour! |

| Tony makes a great ambassador to his beloved Brooklyn. His attention to details and knowledge of his subject added so much to this tour. We learned so much of the history and background of Brooklyn and saw much more on this tour than we had expected. The movie sites, Coney Island, Brighton Beach....all places that we had heard and read about for years, were all included. Oh, and the pizza was great, too! You will not go wrong when you book this tour....it is worth every penny! |

| A slice of Brooklyn pizza tour was far more than i bargained for. Our tour guide "Tony" was incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about his native, beloved hometown of Brooklyln. This tour gave me a glimpse of the "real" Brooklyn, sqaushing all of the preconceived notions i had based on movies and television. If you're in NYC, i highly recommend this tour! I found it to be an eye opening experience that will bring me back to Brooklyn on future visits to NYC. |

| In a nutshell - the tour was organized, Tony knowledgable, informative, and well spoken, and the food was delicious. I felt it was on par with Foods of NY Tours. |
