| We took the pizza tour with Paula last week. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour and of course, the pizza! The bus was very comfortable and the pick up place was convenient with explicit directions. It was an enjoyable 4 hours with the scenic places we stopped at and the places Paula pointed out. Let's not forget the pizza!!! We loved both stops that we made. |

| Toni knows his stuff and imparts it to you in an extremely engaging fashion. This is a great way to spend several hours with a history of pizza making in New York and many interesting facts about Brooklyn. Toni is a one man tourist information centre who's tour should be sponsored by the city.
You get good food and good entertainment. They say bad pizza is like bad sex - it is still pretty good! Imagine getting the best pizza!
One thing you won't do is "forget about it." In Brooklyn they say "you didn't see nothing you didn't hear nothing and you don't know nothing." After the tour you've seen loads, heard a lot of useful, interesting stuff and know a lot about Brooklyn. The ride on the Cyclone alone is worth the money (you Brits will understand once you've been on the tour).
Worth every penny. |

| Our first visit to New York and taking the subway. The directions given were very easy to follow. When we called the company to be sure we were in the right place, Tony, was very polite and helpful.
Pamela was our tour guide that morning. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Her enthusiasm and wit helped make the tour very memorable. Our group was small so we were able to have better one on one time w/Pamela. She spoiled us by taking us to Jacques Torres chocolate store by Brooklyn Park. She gave us suffecient time for photos and to take in the sights at each stop and she made us feel like family.
Brooklyn is not only an historical city, but very diverse in culture. it's like a little bit of the world sitting on an island. My favorite part of the tour was going to Brooklyn Park and seeing the skyline of Manhatten. My son's favorite was eating the two differenty styles of pizza. My daughter enjoyed it all.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and everyone. I give Pamela a big "high five" and a big "thanks" for making our tour so enjoyable! |

I would recommend this tour to everyone!!!!! |

| I've always wanted to see Brooklyn, so when I saw A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour recommended on the Today Show, I said now's the time. I found the tour on the internet and contacted a very friendly person at Zerve to make a reservation. I arrived at the meeting site and was warmly greeted by Tony. The mini bus was clean and spacious. Tony was a wonderful guide. He spoke clearly with his charming Brooklyn accent. The pizza was wonderful. I also enjoyed the stops to view Manhattan, the bridges and the Coney Island boardwalk. Tony told me the Brooklyn history that I wanted to hear, and he told us quite a bit about the many neighborhoods we saw. He also played Brooklyn based music and showed many video clips of movies filmed in Brooklyn. It was a wonderful day. |

| What a WONDERFUL way to spend a day. This was a 4-hour tour with the 2 stops for pizza (1.5 hours separated the two) and wonderful scenery. Tony, the tour director, is a very friendly outgoing people person. He has done extensive research for this tour and it really shows, from the movie clips which were done very effectively to all the tidbits which he gives throughout the tour. Right from the first minute we met Tony, we felt as if we had been friends of his forever -- he is just super. I have recommended this tour to all of my friends and I recommend it to anyone reading this review -- this is NOT one to miss!!!! Thanks, Tony! |

| As a native New Yorker, who has lived away from NY these past 20 years, I and my high school & college friend (who lives on LI) went on this fabulous tour. I happened to find a paragraph about the tour in Relish magazine which appears in the Sunday papers the first weekend of the month. I made our reservations & we went on the tour June 8. We both loved it & have very enthusiastically told friends & family about it. My friend is planning to get a group of her friends & return on the tour.
I have several family members in TX who plan to go to NY in the near future (as well as friends in NY) whom I have strongly recommended to go, as well. Tony Muia made the tour so delightful! It is apparent he loves what he does & has so much information, facts & anecdotes which make the tour so special. The bus group we traveled with was relatively small (about 15) & we all seemed to bond. Of all the sights we saw & visited in the city the 4 days we were there, The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was the highlight of our trip!! |

| I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Tony made it really fun, interesting and enlightening. He sure knows the history. The video and music totally round out the tour nicely - adds some really GREAT ambience! I would highly recommend to all - locals as well as other people from outside the NY-NJ area. |
