| Tony is one of the best tour guides for any tour I've taken in NYC. You can tell he is crazy about his beloved Brooklyn. This tour gave a good sampling of Brooklyn and he spoke of his city enthusiastically. I would never have seen parts of Brooklyn that he took us in. The bus was new, super nice and air conditioned. All our group enjoyed the pizza at both stops. I also got to know some of my fellow tourist as we sat together at the pizza parlors. This tour is a MUST for any NYC tourist wanting to see what's outside Manhattan. |

| The Slice of Brooklyn tour was amazing. Tony is personable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I learned something about people from George Washington to Al Capone to John Travolta. We heard history from the Battle of Brooklyn, to the battle for condos and Coney Island. And the bridges! Who knew that so many people gave their lives so that we could drive our cars across the river! I'm going to have to research the bridges here in New Orleans. Surely with our colorful history, there are some great stories there! I should also mention that the pizza was fantastic.
I will recommend this tour whenever I hear about someone going to New York. Tony started talking before we left Union Square, and didn't stop giving us facts, fun, and even film clips until we got back there. There was never a dull moment, and I learned more than I dreamed I would. |

Great Fun!

| We really enjoyed the chance to see a different part of New York and eat some great pizza. My sister and I found it interesting to see such different areas and architecture in Brooklyn. Tony is a blast as a tour guide. He found his true calling. |

| After seeing A Slice of Brooklyn Piazza Tour on the Today Show I immediately knew I wanted to do it. . My family was wary but I persisted and happily recieved it as a birthday gift. . It was all I expected it to be and more. Tony was the star of the tour for without his bountiful knowledge and warm personality the tour wouldn't have been so special. The pizzas were amazing especially Grimaldi's but don't count out L&B Spumoni Gardens. The sauce was to die for and try the spumoni for it is nothing like the packaged kind you get in the supermarket.Oh and how could I forget the sites of Brooklyn. Who gets to go under the Brooklyn Bridge, walk the historic Coney Island Boardwalk, and get the local gossip and lore. Tony does Brooklyn with humor and class and shows his love of his bourrough. Thank you Tony for making this tour one of the highlights of my vacation in NYC. Go Brooklyn! |

| We've been to Brooklyn before, but never with someone to point out the special places as well as this tour. This was our third trip to Grimaldi's, but we'd never been to Spumoni Gardens. Thanks so much for introducing us to so much fun and flavor. |

Fun for all

| Our cousin from SFO wanted to see Brooklyn and we found this tour on the web. It was way better than we had expected. We really had great time. Tony is clearly a man who enjoys his work. He makes you feel like family as he shows you his beloved Brooklyn. The pizza at L&B's is out of this world and the spumoni..don't even think about not trying it!!! If you are visiting NYC this is a definite agenda item.
