| Tony and Danny gave us the tour of a lifetime to an area we knew nothing about. The information was very informative and delievered in a fun and insiteful way. The views from the bottom of the bridges, the pizza, Coney Island, and all the shows filmed in the area were news to us. Tony has a real gift of summerizing a community that he loves dearly and makes us leave with a warm feeling of Brooklyn. This tour is well worth it! |

| Our group enjoyed this tour so much. Tony was an excellent guide who was knowledgable and obviously passionate about his home of Brooklyn. We learned new things and were able to visit areas we don't often get to see.It was especially nice to have movie clips that coincided with the areas we were visiting. It was an interesting touch. The visit to Coney Island was good, especially since changes are expected and we were able to get a glimpse of history. The pizza was delicious! We were very glad we decided to do the tour. Thanks for a great time! |

| My three sisters and I took our mother on this tour as part of her 60th birthday celebration. We thought it was a fantastic way to spend the day. From start to finish, every detail was well thought out and planned.
We have a new love and appreciation for Brooklyn and NYC pizza!! |

| Tony was an excellent guide and while the Today show segment has tremendously helped with his success, Tony is much more intelligent and charismatic than portrayed (i.e., he doesn't have to resort to catchy slogans on the tour, instead he's full of interesting and entertaining information about Brooklyn and himself). I would recommend this tour to people of all ages. It's particularly good for people who have trouble walking long distances as most of the tour is conducted on a comfortable tour bus. The pizza was also fabulous and I only wished we could have eaten more (but that's me being greedy, I suppose). As a bonus, you get to skip to the front of the line at Grimaldi's which had a line of 60 or so people when it opened at noon. I cannot say enough positive things about Tony and the Slice of Brooklyn tour. |

| I was very surprised at how much there is to see in brooklyn. And having 4.5 hours to see it was great. Tony is full of knowlege of his home town and loves to show it off. And the pizza was incredible. like nothing you have ever had before.
One of my favorite parts was going to coney island. It reminded me of one of my favorite movies ( The Warriors) .
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. And I look forward to trying some of Tony's other tours in the near future.
Thanks

| This tour is worth every penny. Not only is the pizza phenominal but Tony is incredibly knowledgable about Brooklyn and has a great sense of humor to boot! I grew up in the NY metropolitan area but never spent any time in Brooklyn and boy did I come away with a great sense of its history and great stories to tell friends. Tony's use of film clips is just terrific (there is a movie screen right above you like in an airplane)...you drive by what you just saw in a movie! It really makes everything come alive! Walking down the boardwalk in Cooney Island was wonderful! This tour is great for all ages, the pizza is fantastic, doesn't require much walking and is all around a great three and 1/2 hours! |

| We really enjoyed this tour. Not only is there pizza, Tony talks about the history of Brooklyn, the neighborhoods, the people and the food. We also walked the Boardwalk at Coney Island. My husband and I, and our 13 year old daughter, all had a great time. |

| I'm a big fan of pizza in the first place, which means that I suspected I'd enjoy the tour. Funnily enough, that's not what makes it so special. For sure, the pizza at Grimaldi's (walking past the queues outside) is fantastic, probably the best you'll ever have. The tour is made, though, by the enthusiasm of Tony, a Brooklynite through and through, who takes you to places famous from the movies and from mob killings. In case you don't remember the movies - don't worry, Tony plays clips in the very comfortable bus as you're going past the locations. Especially memorable are the Saturday Night Fever and French Connection clips - you're really there! This is probably the best tour I've ever done - my only criticism would be that it ended too soon! Well done Tony, I'm sure you'll enjoy much success! |

| The Slice of Brooklyn tour was a wonderful day spent learning tidbits about Kingsborough (Brooklyn), eating great pizza and enjoying Tony's animated commentary. I enjoyed walking on the Coney Island boardwalk and having photo opportunities of the Brooklyn Bridge. A day well spent! |
