| My husband and I (from South Carolina) celebrated our anniversary in NY City (where we were married) for the third year in a row in December. We have taken several NY tours, but A Slice of Brooklyn was definitely my favorite. Tony is fantastic and has found his calling. The information he provided was so interesting and had a personal touch. From the views of the Brooklyn Bridge , through the various eclectic neighborhoods, to the trip to Coney Island - it was all terrific. The movie info and movie clips added so much... especially for movie fans. Oh, and ... by the way.... the PIZZA was so much fun. And delicious. Loved both Grimaldi's and L and B. Enjoyed my first spumoni!
We have already discussed taking the neighborhood tour and the new gangster tour when it becomes available, so PLEASE keep us on the email list!
I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to grab a taste of life outside of Manhattan. Plus, I think it is a bargain.
Thanks so much Tony for a great afternoon!

| THis was a great tour with Tony as our guide. WE had two teengaers that thought it was awesome as did we. Well worth the time and money. We are looking forward to other tours of brooklyn under development. Also, would have liked to but a t-shirt but they ran out of large sizes before we could get one. So we had to FORGETBOUTIT! |

| We saw the story about the tour on the Today show and it lived up to expectations. The tour was lively, a good balance of history, 'fun facts', genuine passion and impressive knowledge of Brooklyn by the owner/guide. The movie clips were exceptionally well done with the timing of the movie clip right at the exact spot we were seeing as the coach went by. The views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline were terrific as was the insight into the many neighborhoods and cultures of Brooklyn.
My sister is a particularly choosy pizza lover and we liked the places we visited (authentic experiences and good pizza in both places) but Brooklyn style did not displace our very favorite place at the Jersey shore. The organization at the restaurants was excellent.
The bus was comfortable and the on/off the bus was not overdone. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get out of Manhattan for a fun excursion/diversion and would take another tour with this company. |

| What a great day and fun way to learn about Brooklyn. As long time visitors to Manhatten, we never made it to Brooklyn. This time, we wanted to change that.
Tony made the tour -- informed, colorful, funny and genuinely in love with Brooklyn. His musical and movie clips added to the color. The pizza was great (I liked the thin the best!!) and the overview of the borough was outstanding.
Highly recommend the tour -- for adults and kids of all ages. |

| My husband and I did the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza tour last weekend and we cannot say enough good things about it. What a pleasant surprise - not only did we get to eat the best pizza ever - we learned more about Brooklyn then we expected. Tony is just fantastic. He takes pride in Brooklyn and I am glad we had the opportunity to share in his enthusiasm! |

| Great tour bus and excellent tour guide.
Very knowledgeable and provided a variety of information, e.g., history of Brooklyn and the three bridges, dining suggestions, and the best views of NYC.
I live in NJ most of my life and had been to NYC, but never to Brooklyn or Coney Island. It was a treat. |

| We had such a great time on the pizza tour! The tour guide was funny and informative. The content was extremely interesting. I wish Tony did other tours, I would go on them in a second. |

| We decided the take the tour instead of a Broadway show this trip and it was the best decision! Informative and amusing - the time flew by - and we LOVED the pizza! We were able to take some beautiful photos of the bridges and the city sky line - great memories. We also met the nicest people on the bus and Tony is a wonderful host.
We reccommend this tour to everyone - visitors and locals! We all signed up for more information on his future tours! Can't WAIT! |

| We all enjoyed the tour. The tour bus was very nice, the guide was excellent, the stops were interesting and fun. The movie and sound clips (and how they were presented) were unique to this tour. A very good ratio of sitting on the bus and then walking around. |

| We had a brilliant time on this tour, and Tony was a passionate, engaging and informative guide whose passion for Pizza and Brooklyn shone clearly.
The tour bus was very comfortable and screens above our heads gave us lots of great film clips to watch as we toured through the streets of Brooklyn.
The pizza at both restaurants was great, though we preferred Grimaldi's for the flatter base and great flavours.
All in all, a great tour and highly recommended! |
