| This tour would not be the same without Tony. He personafies the typical Brooklyn native with his accent and appearance. He is delightful, very informative and gets to know those on his tour individually. This was my second tour this year and I would be happy to go again. I will recommend it highly to anyone visiting New York.
Even with the heavy traffic in New York City and Brooklyn, we never felt the delays because Tony kept talking the whole time--but with little tidbits of life in Brooklyn.
I've never been on a tour where videos were shown of the actual sites where movies were made. This also made the tour extra special. The handouts of the movies make me want to rent all the videos and see the movies.
Tony is a real asset to Brooklyn in general and to the tour specifically.

| Do not miss out on this tour! My friends and I had such a wonderful time. Tony loves Brooklyn and that shows in his fun filled history packed tour. The pizza is lip smackin' delicious (and I've tasted quite a bit of pizza from all over the country). Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Tony for a wonderful time!!! |

| The pizza alone would have made the tour worthwhile (my Central Pa. family is hooked on Brooklyn pizza). What made the tour special was seeing the different neighborhoods in Brooklyn, with Tony's colorful and knowledgeable commentary.
I am a native Brooklynite, and seeing the old neighboorhood made me nostalgic for my youth (when Tony pulled out a "Spaldeen" I couldn't stop laughing).
My girlfriend and her daughters got to see a part of NYC I have described many times, but had never seen. Their vision of New York City was Manhattan, now they
know a little about the sites (and tastes) of Brooklyn.
It was an unexpected surprise to go to Coney Island and ride the Cyclone.
They have been on roller-coaster rides before (in Hershey Pa.), but none with any
of the history (which Tony explained) of the Cyclone. The kids are still talking about it.
We got great pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge at our first stop.
Did I say the pizza was terrific ?. It was better than anything I have had since I moved
to Pa.
Tony (and his cousin Jimmy) were soo Brooklyn, I could have grown up with these guys. They clearly loved Brooklyn, and knew so much about Brooklyn. I learned things I never knew (I always remember Robert Moses being portrayed as such a
great developer of Brooklyn, I now know another side). I could go on about the tour,
it was even better than I imagined.
I hadn't been back for 17 years, this tour made me want to go back soon.
I would recommend this tour to any ex-New Yorker's and to anyone who wishes they were from Brooklyn.

| My wife and I had a great time on the tour. Tony was a great guide, Jimmy too, very informative and although we thought 4.5 hours was long (it was for our 7 year old son) the entire group had a great time and our first time in Brooklyn, won't be our last.

| This tour was one of the highlights of our week long vacation in New York. The pizza was amazing - both Grimaldi's and L&B's. Even better was our guide, Tony. He was enthusiastic, engaging and well-informed. We were very impressed with the work that he and Jimmy had done in organizing the tour. Even transit time, that had the potential to drag, was filled with appropriate music and film clips. It says a lot about the tour that we arrived as customers and left feeling that we were friends. |

| We LOVED it. Tony was fantastic, the stories were great and the pizza, WOW. We didn't know what we were missing. The clips from the movies were fascinating. We would recommend this tour to anyone. We really got a feeling for Brooklyn and you can tell why Tony loves it. |

| This pizza tour was phenomenal!!!!!! Tony and Jimmy were fantastic tour guides.
We are originally from Brooklyn and had never been to alot of the sections of Booklyn that Tony took us too! We enjoyed it immensely!!!!
The Marghareta pizza was wonderful! It was better than the pizza I had in Italy!
It was originally supposed to be 4-1/2 hours long and it actually lasted 5-1/2 hours!!
We will highly recommend this tour to all our friends in the future!
Koudos to Tony and Jimmy!
