A fabulous day of great food and an incredible tour of Brooklyn. Tony is a virtual encyclopedia of knowledge of his home town. From the homes on Shore Rd to the streets of Bensonhurst where "the boys" hung out, I had no idea of the vast complexity and beauty and history there. Eating at Grimaldi's was like going into another time. The history of the place is worth knowing, and the pizza is like nothing you've ever had. Make sure you enjoy an "Olde Brooklyn" soda with your pizza. Driving down the exact streets, while Tony showed bits of parts of famous movies was really exciting. I haven't been to Coney Island since the mid- 50's, but thanks to Tony, got to walk the boardwalk one more time.....and the Cyclone still works. Having been born in Brooklyn in 1945, and growing up on the Island, I can only say to Tony....Thank you Thank you Thank you. While in the City this time, my wife and I went to my 45th Class Reunion, saw the Jersey Boys on Broadway and went to Saint Gennaro's Feast in Little Italy. Tony's tour of Brooklyn was a stellar point of our trip. Thank you again Tony, and best wishes to you and Paula and Dave...Bob & Bonnie Caggiano |

I have never been to Brooklyn before but heart a lot about it. The tour gave me a more positive view of Brooklyn. I guess I had the stereotypical view, mostly from movies, that Brooklyn was a low-class place of low-class people. I had the impression it was run down, but it isn't. In fact, there are are some high class areas. I highly recommend the tour. Tony makes it very interesting. |

The taste of Brooklyn tours scores a ten in my book. We had a great day. Tony, the tour guide, was clear, articulate, knownledgeable and a lot of fun. The sites were terrible and the Pizza was a treat. I am looking forward to go on other tours offer by Tony. |

My wife and I went on the Brooklyn Pizza tour and were met by Tony and his Uncle Louie. They couldn't have been friendlier. We entered a very comfortable bus and for over four hours had an exceptionally informative and humorous tour of Brooklyn. The Pizza stops were to die for and the home made spumoni was so delicious. Tony- our tour guide-was excellent. His love for Brooklyn was quite evident and certainly helped make the tour such an enjoyable event. It was only minutes after the tour began that we knew we were in for an exceptional 4-5 hours and we enjoyed and savored every minute of it. We could not believe how quickly the time went by and how much fun we had. Beside the great pizza, the tour also played clips from films shot in Brooklyn. As the movie clips were playing our bus was travelling the very locations that were on the screen. Of course, Tony was very knowledgable of the background of the films and shared that information with us. This concept made you feel as though you were almost part of the film. I would have to say that if a rating system had a star rating with one star being the lowest and five stars being the highest-this tour would rate six stars. Yes, it really was that good. If you take the tour bring a big appetite and be prepared for one of the best experiences you will have. My wife and I have been on many tours and found this one to be one of the very best. |

We booked this tour before leaving Australia. We hoped to have a tour experience a little different from the usual and perhaps a bit quirky. Our expectations were exceeded tenfold! The tour is information packed from start to finish and was great fun. We got up close and personal with the Brooklyn bridge and saw aspects of the city we would otherwise have missed. We ate great pizza, toured many movie locations relevant to Brooklyn and heard lots of insights into the area's history with lots of local colour. We left feeling we wanted to come back and do it all again the next day. We will certainly take this tour next time we visit NYC. Tony and his uncle Louie were wonderfully entertaining hosts and great ambassadors for Brooklyn. I even bought the t-shirt. Fuhgettaboudit!
Loved it
