| This tour is a "MUST DO" while in New York!! It absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. The locales in Brooklyn that we visited were phenomenal... historic, interesting and beautiful. We learned so much about Brooklyn, and its famous natives, in our short 4.5 hours. The pizzas we ate were absolutely spectacular, and each neighborhood restaurant we visited was a paramount example of a pie parlor at the top of its game. (By the way, it would be criminal to miss a scoop of spumoni at L & B's Spumoni Garden!) Of course the BEST part of the tour was our guide, Tony! It felt like we were having a great afternoon hanging out with a dear friend - who just happened to be a supremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and die hard Brooklyn-ite. This tour was definitely a 10+!!! Thank you Tony! |

| Tony obviously loves his city and he has a very natural ability to convey lots of information in a way that is thoroughly enjoyable. He is very knowledgable, eager and able to answer all questions and very attentive to his guests. He wants to make sure everyone is comfortable and havinga good time! We were fortunate to be part of a small group so he was able to join us for pizza and he generously added dessert (spumoni) which we all enjoyed. His video clips added alot of fun in seeing what parts of Brooklyn have been used in film. My only complaint...it was too short! I could have stayed on that bus with him all day. I will tell all my friends about this tour and I know Tony will have continued success! |

| This is a FABULOUS tour that nobody should miss. It was extra special to me since my parents were born and bred in Brooklyn and seeing where they grew up, dated, and the streets where they walked had a very special meaning to me. Tony was a gracious, warm, witty, and wonderful guide. If there is something about the borough that he doesn't know, I don't know what it could be. The pizza was divine (the best I've ever had), the sights were awesome (Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO park, streets were many a movie was filmed, Coney Island boardwalk), etc. etc. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is don't miss this tour when in NYC. It's very, very special. |

| This tour was such great fun and informative. Although we have visited New York several times, we never had the chance to learn about Brooklyn. This tour gave that information, plus the pizza. Our group preferred the Sicilian pizza.
We would recommend this tour for young and old. |

| Well constructed tour with loads of detailed information -presented by a tour guide
obviously proud of his native Brooklyn. Was charmed and would do it again.
Only thing less not scoring 5-star was the vehicle. The small bus - I believe based
on a Ford F series truck - loud and bumpy ; but this was easy to overlook given the
overall tour excellence. |

| My friends and I enjoyed learning all of the interesting information that Tony shared about Brooklyn. All the details of Tony's tour are exceptionally well-planned, and he is a gracious and accommodating host. It's clear that he enjoys his work and takes great pride in sharing all kinds of interesting facts about his hometown of Brooklyn. The pizza samplings were terrific, and it was quite a treat to enjoy two basic versions of pizza that were made from the freshest of ingredients - - in other words, the real thing! |
