| Toni is without a doubt one of the most knowledgeable individuals I've ever met with regards to the history of Brooklyn and pizza. The pizza, too, was absolutely fantastic. All in all a wonderful experience...I recommend it without reservation. |

| My husband and I have been to Manhattan many times, but had never ventured to Brooklyn. We stayed in Manhattan due to the stereotypes that exist about Brooklyn, we did not know what parts of Brooklyn were safe or even the best way to get there or which subway to take. This tour begins in Manhattan, so the concern of transportation is taken off of the table. This tour is hosted by the owners and these two men love their home town and want to share all of the good aspects of beautiful Brooklyn. Tony was our guide and his enthusiasm made the trip even better than we could have expected. The view from Brooklyn of the Manhattan skyline with the Brooklyn Bridge is breath taking. We were able to get some great pictures with beautiful views. We learned so many things about Brooklyn, pizza, Coney Island, the area of Dumbo, the 3 bridges, movies that were filmed there, the list goes on and on. The pizza was delicious, but what was even better was learning the history of each family owned business and where it all began. After this experience, we will definitely visit Brooklyn again in the future. We made notes of the restaurants and sites that we plan on visiting when we come back to NYC. We never take the time to write a review, but feel that this tour deserves it. Thanks for opening our eyes to beautiful, fun Brooklyn! |

| Tony was great! He had lots of information and a charismatic personality. The pizza and service at both restaurants was tops. After taking Tony's tour, I feel I am informed enough about Brooklyn to spend a few days there on my own the next time I visit NY. My family and I highly recommend this tour for adults and children alike. |

| This tour was entertaining, informative, fascinating, fun and worth every penny. I highly recommend it to anyone who has even a mild interest in the history and culture of Brooklyn and a taste for delicious pizza. Tony, the tour guide (a true Brooklynite) is a compelling story teller and will have you hanging on his every word. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of Brooklyn and a wonderful sense of humor. Tony is a great guy!
A major plus for movie buffs: actual movie scenes are screened inside the bus as you visit the locations where the films were shot and it is totally enthralling. I loved this tour! |

| We had a brilliant time on this tour, and Tony was a passionate, engaging and informative guide whose passion for Pizza and Brooklyn shone clearly.
The tour bus was very comfortable and screens above our heads gave us lots of great film clips to watch as we toured through the streets of Brooklyn.
The pizza at both restaurants was great, though we preferred Grimaldi's for the flatter base and great flavours.
All in all, a great tour and highly recommended! |

| My husband and I did the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza tour last weekend and we cannot say enough good things about it. What a pleasant surprise - not only did we get to eat the best pizza ever - we learned more about Brooklyn then we expected. Tony is just fantastic. He takes pride in Brooklyn and I am glad we had the opportunity to share in his enthusiasm! |

| What a wonderful time we all had. Tony is not only full of little known facts & interesting information, he is beyond warm & hilarious! I first heard of this tour on the Today Show & thought it would be something different for our annual trip to NYC. My husband was not as convinced as I was. About 5 minutes into the tour he was sold. Our children-ages 16, 13, and 5-were entertained the entire 4 1/2 hours. The meeting point was easy to find. Tony was punctual and the bus was top of the line. The points of interest were chosen well. Tony's attention to detail is amazing (the video clips could not be timed more perfectly). And, of course, the pizza was to die for. |
