| We were not able to take the tour as we had to cancel the vacation due to the fact that my husband was hospitalized as an emergency patient for a few days. We gave the tickets to my brother-in-law who lives in New York and he inturn gave them to a friend of his, as he was unable to attend the tour. We certainly hope the whoever was there surely enjoyed it as it sounds like a wonderful tour. I hope that we will be able to take your tour in the future. |

| I have always heard so many references to Brooklyn on television and in movies, and now I know why. Brooklyn is where it is at! This tour is so fascinating and so much fun! Tony makes you feel as if you have known him forever with his personal side notes and very informative tour of Brooklyn, which includes movie clips that coincide with the tour. We learned about famous people from Brooklyn, history and buildings, movies made there, ate pizza there and saw many of the neighborhoods. It was a wonderful day, and I can see why the people of Brooklyn love it so much. It truly is a wonderful place and the tour was one of the highlights of our trip to New York. If you want to do something different than visiting the usual New York sites, go on this tour, and you will want to come back and revisit Brooklyn and explore it further. I promise. |

| This tour was recommended to me by a friend who had taken it last summer and it was blast. You learn so much about Brooklyn and get to eat great pizza along the way. One of the best features was the movie clips that show all the places in Brooklyn that I've seen in the movies for years. I highly recommend this tour for any and everyone!!! |

| my wife and i thought tony was absolutely marvellous. as he was brooklyn born and bred his enthusiasm and pride was evident in the way he spoke. the film clips were also great and what a difference in not having the usual pedestrian streotype guide taught from a book
we loved our 5 hours and have no hesitation in recommending
say hello to tony from his 2 jewish guests from friday |

| This tour is SO much more than eating pizza (as good as the pizza stops were! ) With a vry comfortable bus, a creative route, and the owner/tour guide who was born and raised in Brooklyn mywife and I learned all there was to know about Brooklyn: Its history, waves of immigration and how they changed the neighborhoods, people of note:politicians to underworld types to entertainment and sports notables. A creative addition was to screen areas as we drove thru them e.g. driving under the EL at the spot where the chase scene for "French Connection was filmed and showing the scene on dropdown units. The bus get-offs were well planned to walk parks, eat pizza, see Coney Island, etc. Tony couldn't be better mixing in depth history with personal anecdotes and a wonderful sense of humor and a focus on comfort and service. You will really enjoy this tour! |

| We took our 9 employees on an end of year trip to NYC and everyone of them said out of all the things we did (Empire State Building,Statue of Liberty and Times Square) The Slice of Brooklyn tour was their favorite. Tony provided more inside information about the places and people of Brooklyn that made it much more interesting than your average tour plus when you have a group of teenagers it sure does not hurt to have pizza to eat on top of that. I would not hesitate to recomend the Slice of Brooklyn Tour to anyone that was making a trip to NYC. Thank you Tony From the gang at the Udder Side in Jonesville, Michigan Dave Bauer |

| This was more a tour of Brooklyn than just eating pizza that were good, but not exceptional. |

| The tour was OK but the best parts are when you are not on the bus.-----the Brooklyn Bridge and Coney Island Boardwalk. The rest just goes by in a blur. The pizza places had some atmosphere but I did not think the pies were particularly great. The spumoni was great!! |
