| Since moving to Manhattan a few months ago we have been on many tours. A Slice of Brooklyn was our favorite! Tony was a great tour guide, both interesting, knowledgable, and fun. The movie clips about the areas we were visiting was a nice touch. We really enjoyed our tour and would recommend it to others. Thanks Tony! |

| I loved this tour. I've wanted to see what Brooklyn was like and only visited Coney Island. The music, film clips and tour that Tony Muir provided was wonderful. I've already recommended this tour to my friends. If there is a tour for the other half of Brooklyn, I'm in! |

| I recently went on the Slice of Brooklyn Tour with my Italian class. Even though I am from New Jersey and have family in New York, I learned a lot about Brooklyn. The food was really, really really good. Also, the guide was very helpful and accomodating. The schedule is quite flexible and his love of Brooklyn is quite evidant. I highly recommend this tour to anyone in the New York area. |

| A group of us from South Florida took the tour and we had a spectacular time. Tony is very personable, friendly, and knowledgable. He has obviously done his homework and knows both the history of Brooklyn and the history of pizza in the Big Apple. He is not someone that is reciting from a memorized script, but someone that loves the area where he grew up, and loves sharing its history. An audio-visual presentation is included and enhances the tour greatly. The pizzas were incredible, and combined with the history, make this a terrific tour. I would strongly recommend this tour even if you are not a hard core pizza junkie. |

| This tour is a hidden gem, the tour guide was extremely knowlegable, enthusiastic, and entertaining. The pizza was great, the spumoni was awsome, and the histroy of the area was amazing. The many locations that were visited from popular movie scenes were very entertaining.
This tour would be excellent for anyone who enjoys food, history, and pop culture and we would recommend it to all! |

| I went on the internet to do research for a book report that I am doing on A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I was looking for tours of Brooklyn and found Tony's. Although, this is not a literary tour, Tony and I managed to exchange a few words about this book. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed all the detail, Tony was able to share about this wonderful borough. Later, I went back on my own to explore the Williamsburg area. Another recommended read pertaining to this borough is A Brooklyn Reader. I look forward to my next visit to Brooklyn and hope Tony will be able to add additional tours! |

| Took tour over 2005 Holidays and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Was in a party of 6 adults from Texas and we all had a great experience. Tour guide, owner, and life-long Brooklyn resident was outstanding and very genuine; smaller bus offered enjoyable tour environment contributing to effective communication of a broad range of topics re: Brooklyn's history, neighborhoods, new development and relationships with movie industry. Stops at pizzarias were wonderful and history of pizza business in NYC very interesting. Good balance of "on" and "off" time. Not a tour for small children, too much content. Will actively recommend tour to friends visiting NYC in future. After more than a dozen trips to NYC for vacation and having many interesting experiences, this your ranks right up at the top of enjoyment. Hope tour company will continue to grow and offer additional, similar style tours of other aspects of Brooklyn. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning about Brooklyn culture and having some great pizza. |

| Take this tour! Tony has done his homework and even if you are a Brooklyn native, you'll learn something you didn't know about the borough. Tony plays music that has to do with Brooklyn during the tour and he shows lots of clips of movies made in Brooklyn while you are RIGHT THERE where the movie was made. It is so AWESOME! He peppers the tour with historic facts, you see the mansions in Bay Ridge, you learn about the hundreds of celebrities who were born in Brooklyn, and you get to go to Coney Island. It's an amazing tour that would be a bargain at twice the price. And, the pizza is WONDERFUL, too! Be sure and have the spumoni at L&B Spumoni Gardens--it's delicious. (I am not Tony's mom.) |
