| We thoroughly enjoyed this fun adventure through Brooklyn. Tony, Jimmy and our driver were excellent! The tour was very informative and fun, and the pizza at Grimaldi's and Spumoni Gardens was yummy! Service was also excellent. Very organized tour from beginning to end. Highly recommended! Thanks Tony for such a fun 4 hours!

| The whole day, from start to finish, was so great! The pizza was absolutely delicious!
Tony, our tour guide, really knew his stuff. We boarded the bus, which was very nice, and didn't have to worry about a thing. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. |

| Tony was terrific and we loved every minute of the tour. We had never been to Brooklyn, and we feel like we lived there now. We have already recommended it to many friends and will be watching for Tony on TV! |

| Both my husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Both Tony, the tour guide and the bus driver were exceptional and to top it off the Today Show was filming the tour for a future segment and accompanied us on the tour. It made for a few deviations for the tour guide but he took it all in stride.
The pizza at both places we went was delicious and having never been to Brooklyn before we both learned a lot of the history and most of all the pride of "Brooklynites" for their origins.
tony was very knowledgable and the bus driver was very skilled at his job and saved us several times from drivers who cut in front of the bus. I would reccomend this tour for everyone, even if you have been to Brooklyn before. We had several people on the tour who were born in Brooklyn and said they learned things they didn't know.

| Although the slices of pizza were delicious, the real highlights of this tour are the stories and insights native Tony provides. An excellent way to learn more about Brooklyn and Brooklynites. |

| This tour gives a good introduction to anyone who is not familiar with Brooklyn by covering different areas within the borough. Tony's comments are both enjoyable and informative and the video clips shown on the bus is a bonus. Pizza tasting is of course the highlight of the tour, and having two different kinds of pizza allows for tasty comparison. I only wish two tastings were more spaced apart time-wise. But all in all, a very enjoyable outing. |

A Love Poem to Brooklyn

| This tour hawks itself as a semi-hokey "pizza tour" of Brooklyn, and we dragged our two adult children along with the thought that at least they would be well fed. And they were. But this tour is so much more than that. It's Tony M's love poem to his native town, and he made us love it too. As seen through Tony's eyes, Brooklyn is a teeming, fascinating, vibrant collection of neighborhoods, under threat at every turn by developers and big money. He is an historic preservationist at heart, and he showed us why we should be too. The movie clips were great fun, but the best video was the collection of Brooklynites played at the end of the tour. An amazing assortment of America's finest. We loved this tour! |
