| This is so much fun!!! This was my second Brooklyn Pizza Tour with Tony and I can't say enough great things about it. He's very entertaining, informative, and the pizza is the best. I can't wait to try out the Brooklyn Lights tour the next time in New York for the holidays. I've recommended the pizza tour to a number of friends and everyone has loved it. |

| I'll keep it short and to the point.
This is the best Pizza Tour or Any Tour I've ever been on, and I've been on plenty of tours.
Tony and Danny give you a view of Brooklyn you've never seen and can only see with them along with having pizza at the best pizza in NYC.
This is a "Must Do" when visiting the City of New York.
Keep up the Great Work, Tony......................

| I am a native New Yorker and live in Brooklyn. This tour has opened my eyes to see Brooklyn in a whole different light. Tony, our tour guide was a delight. He kept us entertained continuously and there was never a dull moment. He did his research and kept us well informed of all the different points of interest that we stopped at. The snipets of video was well put together and kept us entertained. You could tell that he loved what he was doing. The day we went was a sweltering 90+ day. Tony's bus was new, cleaned, air-conditioned and extremely comfortable. We never felt the heat. There were only a few stops that required us to do a bit of walking and it was no big deal. I'm not a pizza lover, but I have to say that Grimaldi's take the cake for Neopolitan-style pizza and LB Spumoni Gardens Sicilian-style pizza was absolutely delicious. But you have to try the spumoni for dessert to top off the meal. My husband loved the tour so much that we are planning to book the "Christmas LIghts" tour and "Wise-Guy" tour coming up in September. This was my first New York tour and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It didn't feel like 4-1/2 hours because it was so enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a first hand experience of Brooklyn. I got this tour as a birthday gift and I must say it was one of the best gifts I received. What a great idea! For $75 you get a tour plus a meal, what a great bargain. I'd much preferred this to a Broadway play which could range in the $100+. Keep up the good work, Tony! |

| Our trip to New York was a bit of a family get together and we thought this might be a fun thing to do and it really, really was.
Some of us had been to NY before and others had never been but we all enjoyed it equally, Tony was a fantastic guide and he really made the tour for us. We loved the 'pimped' tour bus and the pizza was delicious... plus Tony had obviously put a lot of time into researching the facts and getting the film clips just right which was lovely.
Overall I'd say if you're looking at the information for this tour and thinking 'that looks pretty cool' then just book it you'll have a great time! |

| This trip was the highlight of our stay in New York. We did all of the touristy things that are expected and then some, but the Pizza Tour was the most original and entertaining of all. Tony obviously has done his research about Brooklyn and has an enthusiasm for the area that is obviously genuine. I would take this trip again, when I next visit. Most recommended !!! |

| I've been up to NYC many times, but had never ventured beyond Manhattan. I've been curious about the other boroughs, but never really knew where to go. After seeing Brooklyn through the eyes of Tony, our wonderful guide, I'll probably go back and explore some more on my own, if for no other reason than the pizza. The pizza places we stopped at were fantastic. I particularly liked the Sicilian pizza (the 2nd stop - so don't eat too much at the first!). I highly recommend this tour as a great way to get introduced to another part of the city and to eat some great pizza! |

| Our day started with subway delays and we arrived barely on time but Tony waited for everyone and still gave the full tour. That set the tone - nothing was too much trouble - although Uncle (Sal ??) tested his professional patience to the limit with the non-stop repartee - - - you had to be there !
There must be places that do Pizza as well as we experienced, but Brooklyn was the place for us to achieve another level of appreciation. I even volunteered to take on the task of hoovering up the extras provided through one guest not turning up. Note that the queue at Grimaldis was 100m long when we came out after eating!
Stunning riverside locations, Jet age transport; well presented and interesting facts and anecdotes backed up from time to time with film clips etc (on drop down screens) - The best of the tours we tried during our week in NYC and and vindicated my instinct to ignore those whe said "Brooklyn? Fuhgedabaadit!" - (Sp?). |

| We had a great time on The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour. Tony is very enthusiastic and informative during the whole tour. Highlght to me was stopping in the park by the Brooklyn Bridge and also visiting Coney Island. Enjoyed both pizza stops and will let it up to future tour takers to decide which pizza is the best in Brooklyn! I would definitely recommend this tour. It not only takes you through areas of Brooklyn that you would probably not see on your own, but the little bits of information that Tony gives along the way, like what movies were filmed there and the added plus that he shows the movie clips makes the tour even more fun. Would loved to have taken a ride on the Cyclone in Coney Island. Maybe next trip! |
