| This was one of, if not the best tour we have ever been on. Tony is a fabulous guide! The information he gave on various sites was interesting and informative. There was also a lot of humor on the tour. It was a great way to explore Brooklyn and nice to have a local showing us around. The tour didn't seem "touristy". We had great food and great fun. We highly recommend this tour! We will do it again the next time we are in town. |

| We had a wonderful tour guided by a lifetime resident who oviously loves his home city. We highly recommend the tour for everyone, pizza lovers or not. (The pizza was great also!) |

| Since moving to New Jersey four years ago, we have enjoyed exploring New York City. We often have been in Manhattan, but we had not seen much of Brooklyn. This tour was an excellent opportunity to learn about Brooklyn.
Tony was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Brooklyn. We liked him as a tour guide. He had a good sense of humor but there were no corny jokes. It was fun to see scenes of movies that took place in Brooklyn. The bus was comfortable.
Finally, the pizza was delicious! |

| The Slice of Brooklyn tour was terrific, Tony, the tour owner and guide knows everything you want to know about Brooklyn since he was born and raised there. The next day, we met friends who had grown up in Brooklyn and they were amazed at how much we now knew about Brooklyn, as well as all the locations we visited. Of course, the pizzas were the absolute best. My wife and I highly recommend this great way to spend an afternoon.

| If you love movies and pizza (and who doesn't?!) this is the tour for you. Tony, our guide, an unabashed cheerleader for his hometown was affable and informative with interesting historical facts and trivia about Brooklyn, pizza and the movies filmed on location there. I'll take off points for technical difficulties that prevented us from seeing the video presentation in full. Other than that, very enjoyable afternoon. |

| My daughter and I enjoyed the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable. I especially liked the movie clips tied into the area we were driving through. Both pizza stops were good. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough walking through some of the meighborhoods. |

| We had a super time with Tony, and learned a great deal about Brooklyn, including the movies that have been filmed there. He provided everyone on the tour with a list of the movies at the end of the tour. Everyone on our tour was very well satisfied. |

| My wife and I visit New York annually (15 years). We read in our local paper about Tony's "Brooklyn" tour.and thought that it would be interesting. I actually talked with Tony on the phone before I booked the tour, and after our conversation, I knew that he was energetic, passionate, smart, and would be a good guide. Well, the tour was excellent ! Tony talked: history, bridges, movies, music, movie stars, Coney Island, neighborhoods, and... Pizza! We stopped at two exceptional Pizza shops, one served us Neapolitan-style (thin-brick oven), and the other shop served Sicilian-style (thick,but light). Both Pizzas were exquisite!! (tip: after the second Pizza stop, you must try the Spumoni, its out of this world!) Tony is loaded with facts, trivia,and personality.
We have recommended this tour to about 10 people since we took it three days ago.
The "bus" was clean, comfortable and on time. There is a good blend of walking and riding and it's set up so you can walk very little if you desire, or a lot.
We loved it and recommend it highly ! |
