| 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!! |

| This really was a very enjoyable tour. The pizza was outstanding, and Tony was super-friendly. We will most definitely recommend this tour to all of our friends and family, and my husband and I will make it over to Brooklyn on our next visit to NYC just to eat at Grimaldi's (thanks for the directions, Tony!) |

| My husband and I and 3 teen girls went on this tour and we all LOVED it. Tony is a fun, enthusiastic guide who obviously both knows and loves Brooklyn, like the back of his hand!! His driver, Ray, and their small bus make for a more intimate tour, filled with facts and wonderful experiences of eating the BEST pizza ever. In fact, we are all now spoiled forever, so good is this Sicilian and Neopolitan pizza. We loved the places visited and it was fun to get to know the foreign tourists as well as other Americans. It was definitely the high point of our visit to NYC. |

| This was quite possibly one of the most authentic tours we have ever been on, hosted by a completely genuine guy.
The tour is light hearted, informative, full of interesting facts, sites and the best pizza you will ever taste.
If you are looking to get the real feel of life in Brooklyn, then this tour is the real deal.
Kids will love it as much as the adults. Plenty of pit stops, photo ops and so much pizzzzzza......great!
Thanx Tony!
Nigel, Dawn and Natalie. |

We will be back!

| Unfortunately Tony had flu so the Pizza tour we had planned was cancelled.
Our money was refunded imediately and Tony called us at our hotel personnaly to apologise. Although we were disappointed it gives us a great excuse to return to New York when we will definately rebook! |

| We were a little apprehensive about how good the pizza really could be, as we've tried pizza around the country and have had some pretty good pizza. Well, Grimaldi's and Spumoni's are at the top of the list. Grimaldi serves a neopolitan ( thin crust ) pizza that's to die for, but you won't ever taste a better thick crust pizza as light and tasty as at Spumoni's. ..It's hard to believe a pizza that thick could be so light and tasty. Top that off with their home made spumoni and the great , educational tour of Brooklyn by Tony... You couldn't ask for a better tour and dining experience to give you a true flavor of Brooklyn. |

| My wife and I are from Queens, everyone else on the tour was from out of town, and we all agreed the tour was great. Tony is an excellent guide; he knows and loves Brooklyn and pizza.
I'd been to all the best pizzerias in Manhattan and Queens, but Grimaldi's (our 1st stop) may top them all. We never get to Brooklyn, and this was a great way to see it and get around. I'm normally not a big fan of Sicilian-style pizza, but L&B's (2nd pizza stop) was by far the best I've ever had.
The tour bus was the perfect size--we weren't cramped yet we didn't feel like tourists either. It was fun and surreal to watch the movie clips as we were right next to the locales.
I got this tour as a present--it is a great gift.
We loved everything about the tour (Tony, the pizza, Coney Island, our fellow pizza-eaters...) and highly recommend it.

| The pizza was absolutely delicious! It was a good way to be introduced to Brooklyn style pizzerias. The tour itself was very informative and the sights were great. Good opportunity for picture taking and mingling with others. Our tour guide Tony was excellent... very enthusiastic and full of information. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in getting to know a little about Brooklyn and having a few bites to eat along the way. It was a great experience for someone like myself who was curious about Brooklyn but didn't know where to begin. The tour conveniently picked us up in Manhattan which was very helpful. I had a wonderful time and would recommend the tour to anyone! |

| A tour that we loved as much as our three teenagers, ages 13, 15, and 17. This tour will be in our plans AGAIN soon. |
