| We (my husband and myself) had a very enjoyable time. His favourite of the two pizzas was the Neopolitan mine was the Sicilian. We did loads of different things on our holiday but when I asked him what the highlight of the trip was for him he said riding the roller coaster at Coney Island - so thanks to Tony for giving us the few minutes needed to take the ride.
We wholeheartedly recommend the tour generally - although I would have liked to have heard about some references to some films that are popular more with ladies as well as those he did refer to.
All in all though - I would go on it again which surely is a telltale sign of how good it was! |

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Tony kept us entertained both with his anecdotes and his in depth Brooklyn info. His love of Brooklyn and his desire to share it with us non Brooklynites showed through. Pizza was very good and we are still debating Grimaldi's vs the 'sicilian' . Tour operated on a timely basis and the directions to find Tony & the bus were easy to follow.
The linkage of different areas of Brooklyn and the movie clips was fun.
This tour certainly changed my concept of Brooklyn and when I return to NYC I will definitely have to set aside some time for Brooklyn.
Well done Tony !! |

| A fantastic day out in Brooklyn with a terrific guide whose enthusiasm and engergy
is infectious.Tony's knowledge of Brooklyn and its history is second to none.
The use of film clips to highlight the various areas was fascinating,to feel part of such films as Saturday Night Fever and The French Connection was a brilliant idea.
This was our 2nd visit to NYC this year and both my Wife and myself agreed this was
one of the best experiences during either visit. Tony deserves all the support he can get to make this a successful venture and we would have no hesitation in recommending this tour to anyone.
We look forward to a further tour during our next visit.
The pizza's were'nt bad either!

| I thought Tony was an excellent tour guide with great enthusiasm and knowledge of Brooklyn. His energy really made the tour what it was, as well as his patience for all of our questions. You could tell he really cared that we, the customers, were enjoying ourselves, and he made it a point to make sure that everyone was having fun. I thought the tour itself was really interesting and a great opportunity, as I would never have been able to see so much of Brooklyn in such a short period of time. The two stops for Pizza were also great, and it was nice trying two different types of Pizza. I think the idea of having a bunch of different tours around Brooklyn is a good idea, as we only seemed to cover a small portion of Brooklyn. I think the 4 1/2 hour time span was perfect. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends and family.
Good luck!

| The Brooklyn Pizza Tour was an excellent tour of Brooklyn. The tour operater was an enthusaistic and energetic Brooklyn native who seemed to genuinely enjoying giving a tour of his home in such a way that it seemed as though he was a friend taking another group of friends out for an enjoyable day. His careful attention to all of the small details surrounding the tour emphasized the thought with which he planned his tour. |

| I went on this tour on Nov 20-beautiful day as I wander down to the meeting area at 11:15-no one is there. Hmm. Oh that is because the tour began at 11am! Checking our phone we not only received a great message from Paula letting us know that the tour was ready to begin but also the info that if we missed the bus where to meet them at the first pizza stop. We called her back and she returned our call Again when they were eating to give us the details of the subway stop and how long they would be there! She was so great to help us meet up with the bus tour!!! Once on the bus she was a delight and full of great information about her time in Brooklyn and losts of history. Just a great time that flew by. Highly recommend this tour, this company and esp the greatness of Paula! Thanks again!!!!! |

| 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! |

| We had a great time. Would recommend this if you've never been to this area before. We had pizza near Times Square a couple of days before, just to compare, and it was definately better at the two places we went to on this tour. Tony was cool & had a lot of info to share. Got great shots of the Brooklyn Bridge, visited neighborhoods I had no idea existed & took a stroll down Coney Island. |
