| We always visit Manhattan but never got a chance to see Brooklyn. With the "A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour", we got a tour of Brooklyn and got to eat some great pizza at the same time. The best part was listening to Tony talk about his home town of Brooklyn. Tony showed great pride in growing up in Brooklyn but also made you laugh at some of the traits of the locals. We would recommend this tour and look forward to taking the Christmas Tour with Tony in the future. |

| I'm originally from Brooklyn, but have been living in Wisconsin for over 30 years. I took this tour with my wife and my two children, ages 18 and 21. Even though I'm not much of a tour person, I figured I'd enjoy seeing sights I'd hadn't seen in a long time. I wasn't sure about my wife and kids, since they're not from Brooklyn.
Well, all of us had a wonderful time. We were in NYC for 4 days and did some fun stuff, but I think this tour was the highlight for all of us. Tony is just a terrific guide. He's knowledgeable, friendly, and very funny. As another reviewer wrote, he's passionate, engaging, and informative. You can tell this tour is his baby, and he has put his heart into it. Of course, the pizza was truly incredible, a real experience. But the tour is not just about the food. It's also about history, movies, music, mobsters, architecture, politics, neighborhoods, and so much more. We absolutely loved it.
If Tony offers another tour in the future (he mentioned a mobsters tour and a neighborhoods tour), we want in. We would even go on this a second time, it's that good.
And thanks to Danny, our driver. He did an excellent job. |

| We had a great time. Tony is very entertaining and informative at the same time. The movie clips were great fun and the pizza was delicious ! Also enjoyed Coney Island and all the fun filled facts. Would recommend this to anyone visiting the New York area. |

| My family and I had a blast. I can't say enough about what fun it was, how interesting it is. I had a smile on my face the whole 4 1/2 hours. And the pizza, the best we have every had. Makes me want to live in Brooklyn |

| We all enjoyed the tour. The tour bus was very nice, the guide was excellent, the stops were interesting and fun. The movie and sound clips (and how they were presented) were unique to this tour. A very good ratio of sitting on the bus and then walking around. |

| 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! |

| Great tour bus and excellent tour guide.
Very knowledgeable and provided a variety of information, e.g., history of Brooklyn and the three bridges, dining suggestions, and the best views of NYC.
I live in NJ most of my life and had been to NYC, but never to Brooklyn or Coney Island. It was a treat. |

| What a great day and fun way to learn about Brooklyn. As long time visitors to Manhatten, we never made it to Brooklyn. This time, we wanted to change that.
Tony made the tour -- informed, colorful, funny and genuinely in love with Brooklyn. His musical and movie clips added to the color. The pizza was great (I liked the thin the best!!) and the overview of the borough was outstanding.
Highly recommend the tour -- for adults and kids of all ages. |

| My husband and I (from South Carolina) celebrated our anniversary in NY City (where we were married) for the third year in a row in December. We have taken several NY tours, but A Slice of Brooklyn was definitely my favorite. Tony is fantastic and has found his calling. The information he provided was so interesting and had a personal touch. From the views of the Brooklyn Bridge , through the various eclectic neighborhoods, to the trip to Coney Island - it was all terrific. The movie info and movie clips added so much... especially for movie fans. Oh, and ... by the way.... the PIZZA was so much fun. And delicious. Loved both Grimaldi's and L and B. Enjoyed my first spumoni!
We have already discussed taking the neighborhood tour and the new gangster tour when it becomes available, so PLEASE keep us on the email list!
I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to grab a taste of life outside of Manhattan. Plus, I think it is a bargain.
Thanks so much Tony for a great afternoon!
