| This was a great tour! Paula (our tour guide) was fantastic! She gaves us a really good taste of Brooklyn.
The places we visted were great (especially the pizza!)
My favourite location was Coney Island - it would have been nice to have a little more time there but it was great to see. Also time for an ice cream stop under the Brookyn bridge would be a bonus! The video clips were a nice touch, it was good to see the places on the screen and then look out the window and see the same thing.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visting New York - Brooklyn is a must see! |

| Paula did a great job of making you feel like you are part of her family.
You really felt what it is like to live and grow up in Brooklyn.
You feel like a star when the bus pulls up to a pizza place with a line down the block and you get to go right in!
I would recommend this tour to anyone - pizza lover or not. The great pizza is just a bonus to everything else you get to learn and see. |

| Howdy,
My husband's and my flight was canceled from Texas due to bad weather. Tony was so kind and courteous. We were going to miss the tour. I called Tony and left a message. He promptly emailed us the next day to console us and he called us to confirm that he would reschedule us for the tour. Luckily, he had a few spots open. The tour was economical, informative, interesting, and entertaining plus very filling with the food. Tony is friendly and he will answer your questions. He has good ol' Southern hospitality. He's a great public speaker; you will not be bored with him.
I am so glad we went!
Please go, if you can....you will enjoy it!
We hope to attend his Brooklyn Christmas Tour in the future.
God Bless,
Craig and Stacie Sjostrom |

| Tony showed us Brooklyn like some of us had never seen it before. His passion and thoroughness shined through during his very fastidious and well- choreographed presentation of the geography and history of Brooklyn through video, music and stories. The other 11 women in our group from Northern Va. felt that the tour was worth every penny and announced it the highlight of our 3-day NYC visit.The tour bus departed on schedule and was clean and comfortable. Being a part of the Slice Of Brooklyn Pizza Tour made me feel very proud that I am a Brooklynite. Thank you, Tony and Ray (driver).

| I make it a habit to take a neighborhood based tour every time I visit NYC or Chicago.
The Brooklyn tour was fun, informative AND the tour guide...company owner...made the day really special with his knowledge of his home town. I flet I was in another part of the country far far away from NYC when we walked along the Coney Island boardwalk. This tour is a real winner for visitors with the better part of a day to spare. |

| I have wanted to visit Brooklyn in the past, but had no idea how to get around the city, where to go and what to see. As luck would have it I saw a review of the Pizza Tour on the Today Show a week before my New York trip. There was only 1 seat left when I booked it on the internet. My husband had business meetings that day so it was a great way for me to spend the day. Our tour guide, Tony, was pure New York energy! He provided a truly entertaining, informative and absolutely fabulous day in Brooklyn. The pizza experience was fun because the restaurants are part of Brooklyn's famous past and still remain a favorite spot. I especially enjoyed learning about the history of Brooklyn, the different ethnic groups, movies that were filmed there and the personal stories Tony shared with us about growing up in this borough of New York. I have already told all my California friends that this tour is a must, even my friends who live in New York! My only suggestion would be that Tony give us a written synopsis of everything we saw with some simple explanations because I can't remember all the information-I would even pay a small fee for it! The icing on the cake was flying home on Jet Blue and they were playing the movie, "Saturday Night Live"! I watched it again for the twentieth time, but with greater appreciation since I had actually seen so many of the places the scenes were shot on the tour! A New York experience not to be missed! |

| My 14 year old son and my husband reluctantly agreed to come with me on this tour. Within the first 15 minutes they knew they were in for a fun filled, interactive day. The time flew and there wasn't a moment that any of us were bored. We learned so much about pizza, pop culture, and of course the rich history of the many different neighborhoods of Brooklyn. This was worth every penny!!! Thanks Tony. |

| We loved this tour. Initially, we thought 4 and 1/2 hours would be a little on the long side for something like this, but the time flew by. We loved learning about Brooklyn from an insiders point of view. The tour had a real "family owned" feel, which was great. All the people associated with the tour were nice to a fault and very welcoming. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone!! |

| I was under the impression that we would visit more pizzerias but starting at Grimaldis and finishing off at L&B's was perfect. Maria was an awesome tour guide! |
