| We are generally not tour takers. However, someone recommended this tour to us, so we decided to try it. The tour was outstanding! We learned so much about Brooklyn and the neigborhoods. Tony provided an entertaining and informative narrative, highlighted with music and movie clips.
The restaurants greeted us warmly, had everything set up to serve us, and gave us great food and service. Tony made us feel like we were guests in his home.
We noticed that neighborhood people greeted Tony with love and affection. It's easy to know why.
Tony did everything to ensure our comfort, safety, and fun. This tour is the BEST! |

| I am a native Brooklynite so I know good pizza! I had been to both pizzerias on Tony's pizza tour previously but thought it would be fun to do a pizza tour so I could eat some great pizza while viewing the important sites of Brooklyn. I didn't think I would learn that much on the tour, but I can honestly say I saw Brooklyn through totally different eyes the day I took this tour and learned a lot more my borough. Tony's energy and excitement about Brooklyn and pizza is contagious, and his knowledge of Brooklyn is exhaustive. I also loved the way he related a lot of his Brooklyn memories and childhoood stories to the group. That really added a personal touch to the tour. The idea of playing movie clips while driving by the actual movie scene is brilliant. There was never a dull moment on the tour. If Tony was not entertaining us with stories, Brooklyn facts, history or film clips, there was famous Brooklyn music from tv shows and movies along with Brooklyn triva questions. This is the best organized, well thought-out tour I have ever seen! |

| This tour should not be missed as an authentic introduction to Brooklyn. The pizza tasting was great, sure, but Tony is the real star of this show. He knows the history of the places visited, but more importantly he tells stories about his own childhood and lifelong Brooklyn friends. He speaks from the heart and his personality, combined with the small size of the tour, raises this experience head and shoulders above any of the other tourist bus experiences.
When you go, ask Tony why New Yorkers talk about "standing on line".

| This tour was great!! Tony has so much knowledge of Brooklyn!! We liked it cause it was small and personal! We are from California and it was our 2nd trip to New York.. Did I mention the Pizza?? Ok.. we did indulge so much that our new friends from Europe (that were on the trip) laughed at us and wondered how could a group of 4 girls put away so much pizza!! It was sooooo good and lot's of it!! We seen movie locations from Saturday night Fever and visited Coney Island! Tony was pleasant and made sure that we were comfortable during our trip! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the real Brooklyn and by someone who has a deep love for this city! Tony we want you to know we now are saying "Fugetaboutit "and "Your Breakin My Heart!" Please know that you have gals from Orange County CA that will have nothing but great things to say about Brooklyn!! We will be back! A Big thank you!! |

| I took this tour with my Mom, and both of us are New York natives. We had heard about it some time back and went in not knowing what to expect. Let me tell you, we were absolutely floored! This is obviously one of the best things to do in New York, and this is from someone who's lived here all my life. The star of the tour is Tony, a native Brooklynite who loves his city and his borough fiercely, and is kind, charming, hilarious, knowledgeable, accomodating--everything a guide should be! The pizza was the best I've had in my life, and even my Mother (who's biased towards pizza from The Bronx) agreed it was quite special. The group on my tour was loads of fun, and everyone got along nicely. It felt more like an outing with old friends than anything else. For people coming into the city and figuring out what to do, I can't think of a better thing. I agree with Tony that it's a shame people would leave NY without experiencing all the city has to offer. There's more to see than just the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty! Take Tony's pizza tour if you want to see gems around Brooklyn and have a truly unforgettable experience! You can't miss with this tour! Bravo, Tony, and all the best to you! I'll probably be back to take another tour soon! - Joe from Queens |

| Tony is a bottomless pit of knowledge of the Brooklyn area of New York. His tour is incredibly informative but very easy going and enjoyable. Our 10 year old son thoroughly enjoyed it all especially the numerous film clips which related to scences we were passing. The pizzas are to die for and we will never be able to eat a Dominoes pizza again!. We thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see a different side to New York. Tony's sense of humour, genuine hospitality and friendliness, and obvious love of Brooklyn all adds to, and makes for a very enjoyable day out. Do it while you can but don't eat to much for breakfast!! |
