| 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!! |

We enjoyed the tour very much.

| We would definetly recommend the tour to our friends in Texas. There is nothing in Texas remotely like Brooklyn.
We always stay in Manhattan and end up doing and seeing the same things.
The tour was someting different to do. We would not have been able to see and do everything we did if we had gone to Brooklyn by ourselves. We especially liked seeing Coney Island and walking on that Board Walk.
Our tour guide was great! She did a fine job. |

| Pizza and tour was very good. Our tour guide, Paula, was very good too. However, I thought the trip was slightly overpriced. You were limited to how much pizza you could eat and I felt somwhat rushed out of the restaurants. |

| the slice of pizza brooklyn tour was so easy and relaxed and fun and you got to eat pizza!!! Tony is a sweetheart and has everything so well organized-- with lots of information about Brooklyn, the neighborhoods and history and the people of Brooklyn interspersed with his personal stories. He is an inspiration to us all to follow your passion and do what you love for a living. the bus is very luxurious and extremely comfortable. The tour is a good way to relax after hectic touristy things and walking everywhere in the city. Tony takes care of everything. The pizza is incredible, and at spumoni gardens we had the opportunity to taste spumoni after our pizza. I would highly recommend the tour as a way to see more of the area and to kick back and spend a leisurely afternoon seeing the sights.......THANKS TONY and keep doing what you love. |

| We took two major tours while on a long weekend in NY and the Slice of Brooklyn Tour was by far the better all around! It cost less and had more value for the money. Tony makes the experience very personal and the trip had loads of information on Brooklyn that you would not normally get. The use of video clips on the bus along with music added to the experience. Tony would show you a scene from a movie and then we would see the exact location that the scene was shot. It really helped to have the videos as a reference for som eo fthe older films that we saw locations of. It was also a nice surprise to find a restroom on board the bus. Most tour buses don't have that sometimes necessary feature. We actually sat down inside two different pizza restaurants and ate plenty of pizza at both places. If you like Sicilian style, be sure to eat plenty at the first stop. If you prefer Napolian style pizza, save room for the second stop. You will definitely not leave this tour feeling hungry. Tony was also flexible and accommodating, allowing the group to decide if they wanted to spend more time in one place over another. Some of us wanted to visit the original Nathan's Hot Dogs and so he let us walk there from Coney Island and the bus picked us up. As a tour guide, Tony is funny, and comfortable as well as approachable. You left feeling like you made a friend. We took a 1/2 day tour of New York the next day by a group that calls itself a "Party Shuttle" and it was not nearly as fun or personal or informative as Tony's Slice of Brooklyn Tour. You will definitely be glad that you spent the money and time on this tour. I predict that this tour will grow increasingly popular over the next several months so it would be good to book it now. |

| We had a great time on this tour. Tony is an extremely personable and knowledgeable guide. The bus driver, John, was friendly and a very capable driver. The pizza was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed spending time looking around in Brooklyn and seeing the bridges and Coney Island. I'll be recommending this tour to the people I bring to Manhattan in the future. |
