| My husband and I with our two teenagers took this tour on the recommendation of a friend. We're not normally inclined to go on tours and wouldn't have gone on this one if our friend (who is from the NYC area) had not told us it was a "must." We especially had to drag along our surly 16-year-old son, who emphatically did not want to go. But we were all engaged right away because Tony does such a great job. The pizza truly was by far the best I've ever had in my life; I knew it would be good, but it greatly surpassed my expectations. But the surprise treat really was how fun and interesting it was to be guided around Brooklyn by someone who obviously loves the place. Tony has so many great stories about the people and sites in Brooklyn, and his presentation of video clips of movie scenes from the various spots on the tour is really polished and adds to the fun. Our son tried his best to not enjoy the whole thing, but it wasn't long before he was smiling along with us all listening to Tony, loving the pizza, taking pictures, and (gasp) even conversing pleasantly with others on the tour. Believe me, for him these days that behavior is a minor miracle and a testimonial to how great this tour is. |

| We especially liked the tour guide (Tony) because it is nice to have a tour guide and not a tape. |

| We were out for 10 days in NYC and DC and if we had gone on this tour and nothing else, it would have been a great vacation. Nuff said. |

| I live in Manhattan, know lots of people who are Brooklyn residents, and have taken this tour twice -- once with friends and once with adult family members. Even so I can hardly wait to come back yet again with my 'tween nephews. Like being shown the town by your funniest and most well-connected buddy!. |

| We lucked out... Our tour took place in the beginning of our on-again-off-again rainy week in NYC, and we mostly had rain that day. Our tour guide was completely entertaining and knowledgeable, and we had some of the best pizza EVER in Brooklyn! Even my brother (who lives in Brooklyn) didn't know half the things we experienced on our tour.
I highly recommend this tour, rain or shine. The hours flew by, and, before we knew it, we were back in Manhattan! |

| This was such a fun pizza tour...and the BEST pizza you'll ever eat in your life! Tony, who owns the company and grew up in the heart of Brooklyn, was an amazing tour guide! He made the tour so fun and exciting...so it's unlike other tours where you might be guided by a college kid. My husband and I agree that this was the highlight of our NYC trip. Whenever we get back to the Big Apple...we are definitely doing this tour again! |

| I had taken this tour 3 years ago -- one of Tony's very first times out. Since then I've recommended it to many friends who were visiting New York and they were all equally enthusiastic.
It's always a delight to have a guide who so obviously loves his subject and knows his stuff. We especially loved hearing about the various "connected" inhabitants of Brooklyn past and present. Tying in the scenes from movies is also very effective and interesting.
Oh yes, we also loved the pizza and ice cream (yum).
We're definitely looking forward to going again.

| My friends and I have been on many food tours through New York City, and this was one of the best! I would definitely go on another tour with this company. Tony was both knowledgeable and engaging. |

| This is the tour to take in NYC! Tony makes this tour a must-see. His passion for and knowledge of his home town is second to none. We saw Brooklyn as it was meant to be seen--from an insider who loves it and is connected to it. Then there is the pizza -- the best we have ever tasted. Grimaldi's and L & B are the best. I highly reccomend this tour to anyone and everyone. Just do it; you won't be disappointed.
P.S. Major kudos to Danny the driver!
