| This tour is a "MUST DO" while in New York!! It absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. The locales in Brooklyn that we visited were phenomenal... historic, interesting and beautiful. We learned so much about Brooklyn, and its famous natives, in our short 4.5 hours. The pizzas we ate were absolutely spectacular, and each neighborhood restaurant we visited was a paramount example of a pie parlor at the top of its game. (By the way, it would be criminal to miss a scoop of spumoni at L & B's Spumoni Garden!) Of course the BEST part of the tour was our guide, Tony! It felt like we were having a great afternoon hanging out with a dear friend - who just happened to be a supremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and die hard Brooklyn-ite. This tour was definitely a 10+!!! Thank you Tony! |

| Tony obviously loves his city and he has a very natural ability to convey lots of information in a way that is thoroughly enjoyable. He is very knowledgable, eager and able to answer all questions and very attentive to his guests. He wants to make sure everyone is comfortable and havinga good time! We were fortunate to be part of a small group so he was able to join us for pizza and he generously added dessert (spumoni) which we all enjoyed. His video clips added alot of fun in seeing what parts of Brooklyn have been used in film. My only complaint...it was too short! I could have stayed on that bus with him all day. I will tell all my friends about this tour and I know Tony will have continued success! |

| This tour was such great fun and informative. Although we have visited New York several times, we never had the chance to learn about Brooklyn. This tour gave that information, plus the pizza. Our group preferred the Sicilian pizza.
We would recommend this tour for young and old. |

| Well constructed tour with loads of detailed information -presented by a tour guide
obviously proud of his native Brooklyn. Was charmed and would do it again.
Only thing less not scoring 5-star was the vehicle. The small bus - I believe based
on a Ford F series truck - loud and bumpy ; but this was easy to overlook given the
overall tour excellence. |

| My friends and I enjoyed learning all of the interesting information that Tony shared about Brooklyn. All the details of Tony's tour are exceptionally well-planned, and he is a gracious and accommodating host. It's clear that he enjoys his work and takes great pride in sharing all kinds of interesting facts about his hometown of Brooklyn. The pizza samplings were terrific, and it was quite a treat to enjoy two basic versions of pizza that were made from the freshest of ingredients - - in other words, the real thing! |

| Toni is without a doubt one of the most knowledgeable individuals I've ever met with regards to the history of Brooklyn and pizza. The pizza, too, was absolutely fantastic. All in all a wonderful experience...I recommend it without reservation. |

| 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! |

| 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! |
