| Our daughter and friends from North Carolina made the plans for the Brooklyn Pizza tour and we were lucky enough to be included. Although we are New Yorkers from upstate, we had never had the chance to travel into Brooklyn. It was a great time! Tony was a terrific tour guide, who made sure the tour ran smoothly, never rushing us but making sure that we had plenty of time to enjoy our meals, and still see all the sights promised. His talk on the bus was very informative yet entertaining and we would definitely recommend it to all our friends and family. What a great way to spend the day and a great value for the money. We're looking forward to the Christmas Lights tour! |

| Although the pizza is delicious, what makes the tour so special is the guide, Tony. His enthusiasm for Brooklyn is genuine and he shares this with the tour group. I would highly recommend this tour. |

| We recently took the tour with Tony and have to say we had a great time. If you love pizza and movies then this is the tour for you! Was an extemely enjoyable few hours and Tony knows his stuff. We had all ages on the tour we took, and everyone was laughing and happy. We had a fun history lesson! By the way girls, Tony is easy on the eyes, as well! |

| Tony, with an obvious passion for his home-town, covers Brooklyn from every imaginable angle: culinary, historical, political, cultural. His presentation is humorous, fact-filled, fast-paced, well organized--in short entertaining and informative--oh and quite delicious. He introduces tour-goers to the world of NYC pizza, describing the history of the early families who began it all and offers up samples of two of Brooklyn's most popular pizza styles.
Along the route, which covers miles and miles of Brooklyn, from the "edgier" neighborhoods to the million dollar homes overlooking the river, Tony offers well-timed clips from films depicting Brooklyn scenes. So, we watch John Travolta (Saturday Night Fever) talking about the Brooklyn Bridge from a bench along the river--as we ourselves look out at the bench from the windows of the van.
Highly recommended for locals and tourists alike! |

| I saw this tour featured on CBS Sunday morning and immediately went to my computer and made a reservation. This is great, fun, and delicious. This is the tour guide's baby and he treats it right. The bus is very nice, the guide is exhuberant and knows his stuff. Anyone should love it, and you see sooooo much of Brooklyn, including Coney Island. He also has videos and music that are both enjoyable and informative. And you also get to eat at two excellent pizza places. I loved it. Enjoy! |

| It was my hubands birthday and he wanted to take the tour. We both just loved the pizza and the tour. I liked the way Toni would show us on the bus a short clipping of a movie and then he would pull up to the spot where it was filmed. It made it interesting to see the scene on screen and in person. I highly recomend this brooklyn pizza tour. You won't be disappointed. I am telling everyone about it! |

| First of all, Tony is great! A real Brooklyn pisan (sp?) He is very knowledgeable, the 12 seat bus was perfect for the group (10) and Tony knows Brooklyn....wow!!, does Tony know Brooklyn!
Grimaldi's is a treasure, having the best pizza that I've ever tasted and the spumoni at the second stop -- yum!
Checking out the Brooklyn Bridge from the park is a way to see the awesome skyline of Manhattan and learn about the construction of an American masterpiece.... and, Tony knows all about it.! Ask him a question and he'll give you the answer or he'll find the answer asap.
I loved going to Coney Island.....what a gorgeous view and Tony knows all about the history of the amusement rides and the snack stands that line the boardwalk.....what a great experience! You learn about all of the "secrets" associated with the place....and, then some!
We left and arrived back at precisely the time advertised and had a super time on tour.
I highly recommend this adventure. |

| One of the best tours I've ever taken! Tony is an amazing guide--his passion for Brooklyn and for pizza make this a memorable trip. We enjoyed seeing the different neighbourhoods and sites in Brooklyn, and hearing the stories associated with them. And eating the best pizza we've ever had! We are recommending this tour to all our friends -- and we are hoping that Tony's new tour is ready soon! |

| This was the best tour I have ever taken. Tony is so personable and he knows his Brooklyn, Saw things I would not have seen and learned a few things about Brooklyn I didnt know. Not to mention the pizza was great.. I felt like I was with a cousin getting the family tour of his hometown. We are sending our son and his wife to New York and are buying tickets to the tour for them also. Big recommendation . I would do it again. |
