| We (my husband and myself) had a very enjoyable time. His favourite of the two pizzas was the Neopolitan mine was the Sicilian. We did loads of different things on our holiday but when I asked him what the highlight of the trip was for him he said riding the roller coaster at Coney Island - so thanks to Tony for giving us the few minutes needed to take the ride.
We wholeheartedly recommend the tour generally - although I would have liked to have heard about some references to some films that are popular more with ladies as well as those he did refer to.
All in all though - I would go on it again which surely is a telltale sign of how good it was! |

| Wanted to tour Brooklyn for years. Tony did a great job to make this 'dream' happen.
Tony well informed, most considerate, pleasant and fun, even enjoyed meeting his
Uncle Louie. Should definitely do the same tour with an overview of
Manhattan. |

Bravo Brooklyn! Tony's Terrific!

| On my wife's suggestion -- she took the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour in March -- I went on the escapade on May 12. Tourguide Tony is a hoot. He loves his home borough and he loves what he does. And everyone loves the pizza. Are you a Sicilian or a Neopolitan at heart ? Take the tour and find out! And don't be bashful -- there's plenty of pizza for everyone!
The tour inspired me to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge later that afternoon and to journey out to Coney Island the next day specifically to ride the Cyclone. Tony and his pal Pete even hooked me up with a brewery tour the next day. They are very accomodating folks and a pleasure to spend an afternoon with.
(If the Cyclone is running while you're at Coney Island on the tour -- and it should be during the summer -- by all means ride it. It's a piece of Americana, just like Tony!)
You'll enjoy this excursion, especially as a respite from the crowds, traffic and bustle of Manhattan. |

| I was staying in Manhattan for a week but i also wanted to learn a bit about Brooklyn and see it! This was an awesome tour and Tony really makes the whole thing a lot of fun. He's very friendly, looks after you, and as he grew up and still lives in Brooklyn he has a wealth of knowledge and many stories to share. The pizza was great too! My favourite part of the tour was visiting coney island - great history there. |

| My adult daughter and I went on Tony's tour during our visit to NYC. My dad grew up in Brooklyn, so I wanted to learn about the history and get a sense of where the neighborhoods were. The tour was fun, informative, and the delicious pizza was an added bonus. The bus was very nice and comfortable, and Tony was an excellent guide. He was very personable, informative, and an articulate speaker. It was really fun to see movie clips of locations as we were passing through them. You get to see a lot of Brooklyn and meet some nice people on this tour. |

| Normally, we avoid tours, preferring to strike out on our own and not be tied down to someone else's schedule. Brooklyn, however, seemed to be daunting to visit on our own, so we took "A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour". Tony changed our view of tours. He was absolutely great fun and extremely knowledgeable. When the rain interferred with the stops on the tour, Tony was flexible and changed the schedule slightly, then went back to what we had to skip so we wouldn't miss anything. After visiting NY City for 5 days, I now realize that these tours are really a great idea. If Tony gave tours of the whole of New York City, I definitely would have signed up for each and every one.
Take this tour...the bus is great (and has a bathroom!), the driver is great, and Tony is remarkable! |

| Tony is a breath of fresh Brooklyn air. Very knowledgable about pizza and of course Brooklyn. This is a must DO, when visiting New York. The air conditioned, bathroomed, roomy tour bus made the travel so comfortable. The video and audio clips linked everything together very nicely. My wife and I (from Arizona) have been to Brooklyn a few times in the past still learned many things about the city we love. |
