| We loved the authenticity- that the owner[leader] was a Brooklynite and so partisan. Loved seeing residentail neighborhoods and how peole lived. Going to places only LOCALS went . Moveie clips added a lot. We are telling everyone about it.It was my friends first visit to NY and this humanized NY for them. |

| I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Tony made it really fun, interesting and enlightening. He sure knows the history. The video and music totally round out the tour nicely - adds some really GREAT ambience! I would highly recommend to all - locals as well as other people from outside the NY-NJ area. |

| For someone who moved away from New York City 69 years ago, visiting many of the places I barely remembered was a wonderful treat, and a great way to spend a day.
Besides, the bus was comfortable, a better tour guide than Tony would be hard to find, and the pizza (and spumoni) were delicious. |

| This is a great tour, even for locals who know the area. It was fun to see places you grew up in or have been hearing about presented in a new light. Some of us being local (Marine Park) and some sort of local (Manhattan/Long Island) all got a kick out of different things in the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to others.
Non local people will LOVE seeing places they've hear and read about. The movie clips just add the perfect touch to the tour. The pizza was fabulous and a good mix of kinds but it wasn't what made the tour great.
Tony is a fun guide and very personable. The group is small enough that you get a personal touch. He knows the area, offers to take and e mail pictures and just makes it an all around fun afternoon. |

| My wife and I took the "A Slice of Brooklyn Puzza tour on Wednesday, October 26, 2005. Normally, the times for the tour were only on Monday and Friday. However, Tony made a special effort to accomodate us on a mid-week activity. What a pleasure it was to meet Tony and to see all the wonderful sites and information that was provided by a very knowledgeable and proud Brooklyn native. The Tour provided not only a geographical area of Brooklyn, but also, it's history and the people who have made many contributions to our Country. I highly recommend that anyone interested in learning more about the people and culture of a Great City, not to miss the chance to do so. Also, the Pizza is GREAT. A five star activity not to be missed.

| My husband and I thought this tour was great!
Tony is very knowledgeable -- he's done his research. In addition to all the interesting information he gave us throughout the tour, he knew the answers to everyone's questions. What made it even better is that he is a truly nice person!
Icing on the cake - the pizza was delicious!
We'll do it again when we are in New York and have already recommended it to family in New Jersey. |

| A fantastic day out in Brooklyn with a terrific guide whose enthusiasm and engergy
is infectious.Tony's knowledge of Brooklyn and its history is second to none.
The use of film clips to highlight the various areas was fascinating,to feel part of such films as Saturday Night Fever and The French Connection was a brilliant idea.
This was our 2nd visit to NYC this year and both my Wife and myself agreed this was
one of the best experiences during either visit. Tony deserves all the support he can get to make this a successful venture and we would have no hesitation in recommending this tour to anyone.
We look forward to a further tour during our next visit.
The pizza's were'nt bad either!

| Tony is a most enthusiastic and articulate tour guide. He is so knowledgeable about his beloved Brooklyn and it is apparent he spent many hours researching the area to make this tour perfect. His movie clips and the music were perfectly timed to the locations we were visiting. The pizza was wonderful. And make sure you leave room for the spumoni and/or an authentic New York egg cream at L&B Spumoni Gardens. I look forward to returning to the two restaurants we visited to sample some of their other food. Tony was a superior tour guide making sure everyone in the group was comfortable and having a good time. This tour is highly recommended by everyone in our group. Chris O'Brien, Marlborough, CT |
