| When people visit New York, I feel it is so important to take a tour like this. There is so much more to see than just Manhattan. There is so much history and cultural diversity in the whole area that you really can't say you've been to New York if you haven't experienced the other boroughs. I am originally from Queens, so when my family and I come to New York we love to spend time in Manhattan and then go explore other areas. Tony is a great tour guide because he really knows Brooklyn and the pizza was wonderful (along with the spumoni). |

| This tour was the highlight of our visit to New York City. Tony, the tour guide, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and extremely enteraining. The pizza was terrific and the history and information provided about the landmarks and neighborhoods was incredible. The stop at Coney Island and the ride on the Cyclone roller coaster was just one of the numerous highlights. I strongly recommend this tour. |

| A very enjoyable day away from Manhattan to sample the best of another borough. Not only was the pizza excellent but so was the well-informed and laugh-out-loud funny performance by Tony keeping us entertained throughout. |

| Having visited all the accepted New York/Manhatten sites this was a refreshing insight into how real New Yorkers live, eat and play. Tony has such a depth of knowledge and enthusiasm about his own neighbourhood which includes the buildings, political history, residents (both famous and infamous) and places of fun.
We were lucky enough to have a couple on our coach who had left Coney Island 50 years ago and Tony made a detour to show their granddaughter the apartments where her grandmother grew up. It was really quite emotional for the whole coach which consisted of a mixture from the UK, USA and South America.
The pizzas were unlike any other we had eaten before and you must try the spumoni at L & B's.
Would recommend this trip to everyone.
Thanks to everyone on our coach for being such good company. |

| Both my wife and I grew up in Brooklyn and are now living in Florida. We took our grand daughter on this trip to introdruce her to Brooklyn. Tony took us to places in Brooklyn we never saw when we were living there. The tour was informative and Tony was excellent in describing and explaining each area we visited. The Pizza was excellent and we would recommend this tour as a must do when you visit NY. Norm & Audrey Bush |

| We originally read about the 'Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour' in the UK press, it sounded so good we scrapped our plans to go to Turkey and came to New York instead.
Tony Muia, is passionate about pizza, that's real, mouthwatering, original, as good as it gets Italian and Sicilian pizza pie and he knows where to find the best pizza in Brooklyn! The queues outside the restaurant by 11:30am proved him right - fantastic pizza.
But this tour is about so much more than pizza. Tony is equally passionate about Brooklyn and takes you on a tour which shows you the sights and sounds of Brooklyn, including some classic film locations and the soundtrack that goes with it.
A great day in Brooklyn.

| This is a must do tour.
Tony was an excellent host & guide. We really got to see what for most tourists is an undiscovered part of New York at ground level with a well structured mix of experiences.
For me, to get to Coney Island & Brighton Beach was amazing and made all the better by the way the tour ties in flim locations with actual on screen video footage whilst at those locations really brought it home.
And, to ride the Cyclone - Fantastic !!!

| After going thru numerous companies for sightseeing around New York I came across an article about the Slice of Brooklyn tour...it sounded the best and I then went on the website and read the reviews...my mind was made up immediately...
This was such an amazing tour of sights in an area that I would have never thought to head in myself...from the time we met Tony his personality and enthusiam and knowledge made this tour especially interesting....the pizza stops were great...I can now hardly wait to come back and hopefully he can offer a tour every day as there would be no doubt in my mind that I would be on every one of his tours....We took a grayline tour the day before and it could not possibly measure up to the quality of Tony' s tour....He is made to do these!!!!
I would rate his tour above a 5star rating!!!!! Any of my future clients to New YOrk will be advised that this tour is a definite!!!!!! Brooklyn is Wonderful and Coney Island equally a must to see and ride the original wooden roller coaster!!!!!!
Thanks so much for giving us such a wonderful day!!!

| The slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was one of the highlights of our trip to New York. The directions were easy, the group was not too large, the coach was very comfortable and Tony, our guide, was exteremely knowledgeable and informative. The use of music and video footage of places we were visiting was particularly innovative. It was not hurried - it was a very relaxing day with lots of time to take things in. The sights were amazing, including Brooklyn Bridge, the view of Manhattan, Coney Island (riding the roller coaster was one of the most exhilirating things I have done), and of course, there were the pizzas. I can't say enough about them. They were so tasty. If you twisted my arm and asked which I preferred, I would say the Sicilian, but only by a whisker over the Neapolitan. However, don't mention Domino's to Tony otherwise he'll go off on one! Tony will also explain to you what a Kosher gym is! All in all, this is one trip I would enthusiatically recommend.
As the wife of the above commentator I heartily agree with his comments (although I didn't ride the roller coaster). Tony gave us so much background information - I felt I would never get that on a day trip on our own. Besides learning quite a bit about Brooklyn and New York State I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the group. It was great fun and certainly a highlight of our time in New York. |
