| The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was a wonderful and relaxing way to spend a day and get to know about Brooklyn - to say nothing of getting to sample some truly delicious pizza. Tony, our tour guide, was great - extremely knowledgeable, personable, and very professional. We highly recommend the tour. |

| Tony is absolutely excellent in every way possible ... enthusiastic, knowledgeable, accomodating, efficient, thorough, etc., providing maps and all details in the MOST professional manner.
However, this is more of a very informative tour of Brooklyn than a "pizza tour." We went to two pizza places which were fine ... but the emphasis of the 4 hour tour is Brooklyn itself, i.e., sites, history, trends, etc. We covered a lot, and it was very good ; some places we saw were Red Hook, Dumbo, Coney Island, Brighton Beach area, residential streets, etc. Tony organizes everything down to the finest detail, even with Brooklyn movie clips and music (dvd on the comfortable / clean bus).
However, unless there's at least one more pizza place added into the tour (maybe drop one of the sights?), I wouldn't call this a "pizza tour."
Other than that, it's excellent if you want to see Brooklyn and have two pizza stops. |

| I loved this tour. I've wanted to see what Brooklyn was like and only visited Coney Island. The music, film clips and tour that Tony Muir provided was wonderful. I've already recommended this tour to my friends. If there is a tour for the other half of Brooklyn, I'm in! |

| The tour guide was personable and bouyant....full of energy and never
flagged over the few hours of the tour.....made everybody on board feel
welcome and particularly was good with some chlldren on the bus. We
had never been thru Brooklyn before so some of the neighborhoods were
surprisingly nice to us and to our French friends who were our guests....actually
changed their idea of what Brooklyn was like! |

| Our tour guide Paula was a delight and very well informed. Her "Ohio Ladies" had a good time. |

| As a New York I am reluctant to go on Tours. I must say not only was this great it was Paulaq who made it one of the most enjoyable Tours I have ever been on. I am now spoiled when it comes to Tours.
Keep up the good work |

| Tony has a love and knowledge of Brooklyn that is unparrelled. I think that the vast majority of people visiting the New York area will enjoy this trip. I know that I plan to recommend it to my friends! |

| Our expectations prior to the tour were high, based on the comments of others, and we were not disappointed. Our tour guide, Paula, was superb (knowledgeable and bursting with enthusiasm), and the highlights of the tour, in terms of sites, were very well chosen. Moreover, the central theme - that is, pizza - similarly lived up to high expectations, and the eating was at a relaxed tempo despite the frenzy of the restaurants. As one would guess, consequently, the tour gets my highest recommendation. The four and 1/2 hours goes by very rapidly. |

| Our tour guide Paula was excellent. She knew her history, was friendly and answered questions asked. If I would take friends or family on this tour I would only go if Paula was the tour guide. We enjoyed the pizza, my favorite was the L&B Spumoni pizza. All of us would vote that Paula be made the tour guide for this tour. We enjoyed seeing and learning about the things included.
We would certainly recommend this tour. Paula made it interesting and fun. |

| My wife and I took Tony's tour based on the recomendation of dear friends. We were not disappointed. We went to NY for wifes 65th B'day primarily to see the Rocketts, which was great., but our Brooklyn tours rated right up there. On this tour Tony's cousin Maria was our guide. She was smart, knew what she was talking about, made the time fly, and is beautiful to boot.
We liked the Neapolitan pizza best compared to the Sicilian by a lot. Maybe because it is closer to what we are used to. However the pizza itself is only the topping on a great four and half hours.
We took the tour December 12, 2008. 39 degrees and blowing wind. Loads of fun in spite of.
