| I loved this tour. I've wanted to see what Brooklyn was like and only visited Coney Island. The music, film clips and tour that Tony Muir provided was wonderful. I've already recommended this tour to my friends. If there is a tour for the other half of Brooklyn, I'm in! |

| Since moving to Manhattan a few months ago we have been on many tours. A Slice of Brooklyn was our favorite! Tony was a great tour guide, both interesting, knowledgable, and fun. The movie clips about the areas we were visiting was a nice touch. We really enjoyed our tour and would recommend it to others. Thanks Tony! |

| This was one of the most fun tours ever...... If you know anybody going to NY city, you will want to suggest it (we already have). It is run by a typical Italian guy called Tony (yes he has a brother name Vinny and one named Joey!) who was born and raised in Brooklyn. He has a keen sense of humor, a winning manner and is a gracious host. The tour begins in Manhattan and ends there. We were on a 21-passenger bus so it has a nice cozy group feeling. As part of the 4 and 1/2 hour tour you go to 2 different award winning Pizza shops. We learned so much as Tony is a wealth of knowledge and an excellent communicator. As you go from place to place, Tony plays video clips from movies that were made right on the street and location where you are driving (Scent of a Woman, Sat. Night Fever, Annie Hall and lots more). He also played song clips of tunes about Brooklyn. This is a MUST do tour. |

| The timing of our pick-up was accurate and the history of Brooklyn started as soon as we got going. Our stops under the bridge to see the river, sky-line, and buildings were very informative. Our pizza stops were very well coordinated and delicious.
We continued with more history of the neighborhoods, stops and walks at Coney Island(great) and finally more samples of your wonderful foods.
I would recommend this trip to everyone and it was really well presented by our tour guide. He did a great job and you could tell he has a lot of pride in his city and wanted all to enjoy it. |

| Tony made me feel very welcome on his tour. He is a personable young man who knows the history and sights of interest in Brooklyn. He is aware of future plans for the area and shares the dreams of the planners. I am pleased to report that my own knowledge has grown because of the information he shared. At the pizza shops, Tony was the perfect host making sure each of us was comfortable and had sufficient food. His conversation at the table was a continuation of the areas' history which reflected his pride of his heritage. He spoke to each of us on the tour as he had known us all our lives. I would highly recommend this tour (and guide) to friends traveling to NYC.
On the other hand our driver was not as personable....after he hit the Hostess truck, he never asked the passengers if we were alright. We were not injured, rather jolted with the inpact. But he could have showed a bit of concern. At the end of the tour, we offered to pay him to drop us off closer to our destination - less that 12 minutes away - but he refused. Tony tried his best to convince John to do this since we were in an accident, had to stop for air so he could reinflate the rear tire, wait for another bus to pick us up, and Tony was unable to finish the video tour because the 2nd bus didn't have a DVD system. John was the loser as he could have had an extra $55+ for the holidays!
Thanks for allowing me to review the tour. |

| We had a great time on this tour. Tony is an extremely personable and knowledgeable guide. The bus driver, John, was friendly and a very capable driver. The pizza was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed spending time looking around in Brooklyn and seeing the bridges and Coney Island. I'll be recommending this tour to the people I bring to Manhattan in the future. |
