| This tour was the highlight of our visit to New York City. Tony, the tour guide, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and extremely enteraining. The pizza was terrific and the history and information provided about the landmarks and neighborhoods was incredible. The stop at Coney Island and the ride on the Cyclone roller coaster was just one of the numerous highlights. I strongly recommend this tour. |

| Our tour leader, Paula, was informed, enthusiastic, thoughtful, involved and was able to make information interesting....there was never a dull moment. Also, the way the company coordinated videos re movie street scenes with actual location of van was seamless.
Definitely for those interested in Brooklyn and the pizza ain't bad either! |

| I'll keep it short and to the point.
This is the best Pizza Tour or Any Tour I've ever been on, and I've been on plenty of tours.
Tony and Danny give you a view of Brooklyn you've never seen and can only see with them along with having pizza at the best pizza in NYC.
This is a "Must Do" when visiting the City of New York.
Keep up the Great Work, Tony......................

| My wife, son and I took the Slice of Brooklyn tour on Saturday 2/21/2009. Due to a flight issue, a large group never mde it, so there ended up being only seven of us on the bus. Maria was our tour guide; she comes directly from italy (Bologna, I think).
She is an actress by profession, and her ease of speaking was evident. She did an outstanding job showing us everything on the tour, and she was able to field a wide array of questions from us tourists!
The pizze at Grimaldi's and L&B was excellent, of course. My wife bought some spumoni at L&B for the ride back to Manhattan, and it was excellent too.
We would...and already have...recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a nice overview of Brooklyn, something I really enjoyed. |

| This was a surprise tour for my husband's birthday. Husband, wife, son, brother, sister in law. Brothers, as kids, raised in Brooklyn. The five of us loved the tour and highly recommend it to "everyone". Fun, informative, great sights, pizza was amazing and the best spumoni ever. Parts of Brooklyn we had never seen. We imagined this would be fun --had no idea how great a tour this was to be. Tony is great, fun to be with and he makes this a special day. You don't have to be a Brooklyn kid to love this tour. "Forgetabout" Manhattan and love the Brooklyn Bridge and Coney Island and old Brooklyn. A real bargain price and lots to remember forever. Highly recommend. Will be going again with a group of ladies. Thanks Tony. fondly, Monica Colistra |

| This pizza tour was phenomenal!!!!!! Tony and Jimmy were fantastic tour guides.
We are originally from Brooklyn and had never been to alot of the sections of Booklyn that Tony took us too! We enjoyed it immensely!!!!
The Marghareta pizza was wonderful! It was better than the pizza I had in Italy!
It was originally supposed to be 4-1/2 hours long and it actually lasted 5-1/2 hours!!
We will highly recommend this tour to all our friends in the future!
Koudos to Tony and Jimmy!

| This tour is everything advertised and more. I was a little reluctant to go on a tour bus, as I usually like traveling independently. I made an exception as I really wanted to try the two pizza places and felt I didn't have time to do it on my own. This turned out to be a great decision because of our guide, Tony. He brings enthusiasm, humor and an extensive knowledge of Brooklyn to make this a wonderful day. He really enjoys what he does and it makes for a great tour. Don't hesitate to book this tour. As the word gets out you may have to wait for months to get to know Tony. |

| Our group (8) of local New Yorkers really enjoyed Tony and the entire tour. There was one suggestion and that was to consider switching the Spamoni Gardens with the Coney Island stops. That is, go to Coney Is first and stop at Spamoni Gardens immediately following that. This would give more time to work off and digest the Grimaldi pizza before making the second pizza stop. |

| We were a little hesitant to sign on for such a long tour, but it was worth every single minute!
Never having been to Brooklyn, this was as good and varied an introduction as I could have imagined. All of this is due to the owner of the tour company, Tony. From the first moment he was friendly, enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable, and of course, was speaking from first-hand experience.
I particluarly loved the scope of the tour. While the pizza was great (at both places!) the history, culture, the short walks underneath the Manhatten bridge as well as at Coney Island, and the drive through remarkably diverse neighborhoods, added up to a wonderful overview to Brooklyn, and definitely left us with the desire to return.
Tony definitely has found his calling!! |
