| 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.

| 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!

| My 82 year old mom, myself, and my daughter took this "pizza tour" together. My daughter was leary of this tour...thinking it would be for us "older folks". Needless to say that Tony and Jimmy made a believer out of her. The three of us had a wonderful time topped off by a ride on the Cyclone at Coney Island. The pizza was wonderful and by the end of the tour our little group felt like friends. Tony was very knowledgable and had many extra tidbits to add.

| My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour. Of course we loved the pizza selections, they were fantastic, but we also enjoyed the sights of Brooklyn as well. Tony and Jimmy were excellent tour guides who presented the history of Brooklyn and made it fun and very interesting. Of course, it was made much better since they were both Brooklynites. The whole day was a wonderful time and we would enthusiastically recommend the tour to others. We would like to take it again.

| Tour is very casual and accommodating. Plenty of food at the pizza stops. Good mix of riding and walking. Would have loved a walk along the Russian area of Coney Island Blvd to see the beautiful Russian twentysomething ladies out shopping. Guides love their jobs and BK. Tom Caswell |
