| It's not often that you can have so much fun and learn so much at the same time. We found Tony to be very accomodating to our needs. He had great enthusiasm for Brooklyn and that in turn translated to each tour participant. We hope that as his business grows, he will be able to employ individuals with the same knowledge and enthusiasm for Brooklyn.
The bus was very comfortable and the video screens helped enhance the experience. It is obvious that Tony has done a lot of research and has a very personal love for Brooklyn.
We are from New Mexico and do not get to the Brooklyn area frequently, but on our next trip we look forward to the neighborhood tour. We have enthusiastically recommended his tours to everyone we talk to. |

| Both my husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Both Tony, the tour guide and the bus driver were exceptional and to top it off the Today Show was filming the tour for a future segment and accompanied us on the tour. It made for a few deviations for the tour guide but he took it all in stride.
The pizza at both places we went was delicious and having never been to Brooklyn before we both learned a lot of the history and most of all the pride of "Brooklynites" for their origins.
tony was very knowledgable and the bus driver was very skilled at his job and saved us several times from drivers who cut in front of the bus. I would reccomend this tour for everyone, even if you have been to Brooklyn before. We had several people on the tour who were born in Brooklyn and said they learned things they didn't know.

| Our guide through Brooklyn, Tony, was animated, humorous, and never at a loss for an anecdote or quip. Even though it was raining our trip was great. The pizza was delicious. The selection of movie clips, and music to go along with the locales we visited added to the trip. A little Brooklyn history and even Coney Island. |

| I was delightfully surprised when I discovered that not only was I getting a tour with pizza, but also a tour that mixed narration of the Brooklyn sites we traveled trough with cool movie clips from street corners etc that we went pass.
Pizza and Brooklyn, a great feeling of nostalgia delivered by a guy that obviously loves Brooklyn, got to see where Joe Pescis character in the move Godfellas was whacked in a suburban garage, went to where Gene Hackmans character runs under the above-ground-railway in the movie The French Connection. And much more.
And to finish it up, we stopped in Coney Island, walked the boardwalk, and some of us even rode the famous roller coaster that is there. It is quite bumpy so do follow Tony's advice and don't ride in the last most seat...
I could feel the beautiful nostalgia even when if I myself is not even from New York.
I head a great time. And Tony, the tour guide, gave us all a paper with the titles of the movies and the music played during the tour, and even if I have seen most of them before, I am sure I will watch them through again some day to return to that nice Brooklyn feeling.
Thanks for the tour Tony.

| The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was a wonderful and relaxing way to spend a day and get to know about Brooklyn - to say nothing of getting to sample some truly delicious pizza. Tony, our tour guide, was great - extremely knowledgeable, personable, and very professional. We highly recommend the tour. |

| Had a fantastic time on this tour! Tony is very knowledgeable about Brooklyn and has, obviously, coupled extensive research with personal experience. The pizza was great!! Good news to future tours...Tony is VERY adaptable and is willing and eager to adjust the tour to accommodate additional stops, i.e., the Cyclone at Coney Island. Danny was an EXPERT driver on this tour. You will have a Great time! |

| The tour guide was personable and bouyant....full of energy and never
flagged over the few hours of the tour.....made everybody on board feel
welcome and particularly was good with some chlldren on the bus. We
had never been thru Brooklyn before so some of the neighborhoods were
surprisingly nice to us and to our French friends who were our guests....actually
changed their idea of what Brooklyn was like! |

| Paula did a great job, everyone had a great time not only tasteing the great pizza but seeing the many landmarks around Brooklyn. Maybe even gained a little attitude by the time the tour was done! Highly recommend! |

| I forgot that I had booked the tour after 10 days in New York.
Thanks to Paula (our tour guide) ringing me & the guys at Verve translating Paula's Brooklynese instructions to go to 'Ord Fulton' into 'Old Fulton', we were able to catch up to the tour at Grimaldis.
Very pleased we did, had a great time.
Paula was a terrific guide.
Thanks Paula!
Thanks Verve!
John & Lorraine.
PS Will not forget next time! |
