| The new bus, the area, the pizza, and Tony made our day. I mean "fuhgettaboudit." This tour is one of our best experiences in New York. When we heard about the tour on the Today Show, I didn't get too excited. We laughed, ate, and became immersed in the wonderful culture of Brooklyn. Unlike the scripted monotone tour guides we were expecting, Tony is vibrant, enthusiastic straight shooter who tells it like he sees it. He is knowledgeable and entertaining with stories that reflect his love of Brooklyn and its history. His attitude and obivious love for his home is so sincere that at the end of the tour you wish you were from Brooklyn. |

| I have been on several tours and this one tops them all. Tony is a fantastic tour guide with a great sense of humor and very well informed. He has certainly done his homework. The pizza's were great and the timing between stops was perfect. If you want a fun-filled day this is for you!!! |

| I enjoyed Tony's knowledge of Brooklyn. It was nice to learn so much more than I already knew and see neighborhoods I would otherwise never venture to. The pizza joints he brought us to were delicious. We were stuffed when we left.

| Fantastic pizza, good company, and a very knowledgable and funny guide. The way the film clips play as you pass a particular street or building is very clever! I personally think one more restaurant could have been added to make it a real pizza crawl - not that we went away hungry! Some fascinating stories and anecdotes along the way. Basically a really great day out - thanks Tony. Look forward to seeing you next time we're in town |

| My husband and I went on this tour on November 2. It was very enjoyable. Tony was really knowledgeable about the area and trivia questions asked of him by the group. The food was great and the video clips augmented the tour very well. Tony was flexible about people's interests and let a part of the group go to Nathan's for hot dogs and re-join us after the boardwalk. This was an all-round great day and we would recommend it to anyone. Not your typical tour! The only suggestion would be to pre-warn the group of the limited restroom facilities at the first restaurant upon arrival to speed up the wait time afterwards. |

| We loved this tour. Tony was funny and interesting. The bus was small and clean. The pizza was delicious. Brooklyn is scenic and Tony is the perfect tour guide. He is full of interesting trivia and facts. Thanks for a great afternoon. Don't miss "Tony the Tour Guy" the ultimate guide of Brooklyn.

| We were a little hesitant to sign on for such a long tour, but it was worth every single minute!
Never having been to Brooklyn, this was as good and varied an introduction as I could have imagined. All of this is due to the owner of the tour company, Tony. From the first moment he was friendly, enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable, and of course, was speaking from first-hand experience.
I particluarly loved the scope of the tour. While the pizza was great (at both places!) the history, culture, the short walks underneath the Manhatten bridge as well as at Coney Island, and the drive through remarkably diverse neighborhoods, added up to a wonderful overview to Brooklyn, and definitely left us with the desire to return.
Tony definitely has found his calling!! |

| Really enjoyed myself on this tour, which was filled with unexpected things like a visit to the boardwalk at Coney Island as well as other film sites. The pizza was fantastic - now I know where to go next time. Tony is great - one can see he really loves what he is doing ! Highly recommended - you won't regret taking this very enjoyable tour of Brooklyn. There's definitely more to NY than Manhattan ! |

Definitely do this tour!

| Would recommend this tour to anyone - Tony is so friendly and really knows his stuff. The pizza was amazing, and the DVD clips of the different films set in Brooklyn were really interesting. I think anyone would enjoy this tour (except those freaks who don't like pizza....). Would give it 10/10! |
