| While the pizza was super, the tour is much more than great pizza. Tony presents a wonderful slice of Brooklyn. Interesting locations and fun facts kept us entertained during the entire time including the two "lunch" hours. Just as the tour shows there is more to Brooklyn than just pizza, you will learn that there is more to New York than just Manhatten. |

| My mother, myself and two sisters took this tour. It was by far the best tour we took while in New York. Tony, our tour guide and the pride owner of Brooklyn Pizza Tour, was knowledgable and well-prepared. Tony made the trip very enjoyable and lots of fun. The pizza was fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who visits New York. In fact, we recommended it to the concierge at our hotel (The Belevedere), to several tourists that we came in contact with and to the members of my law firm that travel to New York on a regular basis. When we return to New York in the future, we will definitely take the tour again. If anyone would like to call me to discuss the tour, they are more than welcome (Debbie Praytor). Tony, keep up the good work and I know that you will be VERY SUCCESSFUL! |

| I highly recommend this tour. Tony is a native of Brooklyn & knows the area well. We went to two different style pizzerias & he explained the history of each all the way back to the naming of the " Margarita " pizza, named after Queen Margarita. We also went through other areas of Brooklyn & Coney Island. We can't forget the excellent job Danny the driver did either. I recommend this tour for all ages 8 - 80. |

| Our guide Tony was so personable and extremely knowledgable. He went out of his way to accomodate us as we had to cut the tour short to catch a flight (much to our dismay). He even called to arrange a driver to pick us up at one of the stops and drive us back to our hotel and on to the airport. We have been raving about this tour to all our friends and relatives and plan to take it again when back in N.Y. |

| My wife and I visit New York annually (15 years). We read in our local paper about Tony's "Brooklyn" tour.and thought that it would be interesting. I actually talked with Tony on the phone before I booked the tour, and after our conversation, I knew that he was energetic, passionate, smart, and would be a good guide. Well, the tour was excellent ! Tony talked: history, bridges, movies, music, movie stars, Coney Island, neighborhoods, and... Pizza! We stopped at two exceptional Pizza shops, one served us Neapolitan-style (thin-brick oven), and the other shop served Sicilian-style (thick,but light). Both Pizzas were exquisite!! (tip: after the second Pizza stop, you must try the Spumoni, its out of this world!) Tony is loaded with facts, trivia,and personality.
We have recommended this tour to about 10 people since we took it three days ago.
The "bus" was clean, comfortable and on time. There is a good blend of walking and riding and it's set up so you can walk very little if you desire, or a lot.
We loved it and recommend it highly ! |

| We had a super time with Tony, and learned a great deal about Brooklyn, including the movies that have been filmed there. He provided everyone on the tour with a list of the movies at the end of the tour. Everyone on our tour was very well satisfied. |

| My daughter and I enjoyed the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable. I especially liked the movie clips tied into the area we were driving through. Both pizza stops were good. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough walking through some of the meighborhoods. |

When in Brooklyn, tour with a native.

| If you love movies and pizza (and who doesn't?!) this is the tour for you. Tony, our guide, an unabashed cheerleader for his hometown was affable and informative with interesting historical facts and trivia about Brooklyn, pizza and the movies filmed on location there. I'll take off points for technical difficulties that prevented us from seeing the video presentation in full. Other than that, very enjoyable afternoon. |
