| Tony and his tour ranks right up at the top of one of our favorite days in NYC. (and Brooklyn) This guy is amazing -what knowledge, energy, enthusiasm! It feels like visiting an old friend and having him want to make your day very special. And he did! He talks for the entire tour - hardly taking a breath- amazing! As I said - don't miss it! |

| The tour takes you to places that you would otherwise not encounter and gives a nice history of Brooklyn. The pizza's are great and Tony’s enthusiasm makes for a fun day. |

| Tony was the best guide. He MADE the tour. His love and passion for Brooklyn radiated. I've taken similar tours in other cities (Chicago and Boston) and this one beats all of them. Hands down, this tour was one of my favorite activities while in NYC. I can't stop telling everyone about it. |

| What a marvelous way to see the sights of Brooklyn, New York and areas we never would have visited. Tony gave us a side of the New York area we never would have thought to see. It was one of the most enjoyable days touring this marvelous city. We had history, adventure and great pizza! We are delighted to have met Tony and want friends going to visit the area to have the same experience. Enjoyed his presentation, stories and love of the city!!
Thank you Tony , you are a great host!!! |

| I'm a big fan of pizza in the first place, which means that I suspected I'd enjoy the tour. Funnily enough, that's not what makes it so special. For sure, the pizza at Grimaldi's (walking past the queues outside) is fantastic, probably the best you'll ever have. The tour is made, though, by the enthusiasm of Tony, a Brooklynite through and through, who takes you to places famous from the movies and from mob killings. In case you don't remember the movies - don't worry, Tony plays clips in the very comfortable bus as you're going past the locations. Especially memorable are the Saturday Night Fever and French Connection clips - you're really there! This is probably the best tour I've ever done - my only criticism would be that it ended too soon! Well done Tony, I'm sure you'll enjoy much success! |

| Having a real Brooklynite share the deep tradition of not only the place in history of pizza and its migration into NYC, but to hear the history of the neighborhoods was "Da Bomb." The sell point to this was the real life experience and pride the host had in his city, his bororugh , and more importantly his pizza selections. We aprpeciated the interacted not only during the tour but more impressive was his ability to sit with us while we ate and shared his views and inquired about ours. Class act!!!!!! This ranked right up their with our visit to the bronx to watch the Yankees beat Boston. I will definately repeat my afternoon spent with Tony, for both the food and his passion for his borough. |

| WOW. From the time of booking (I had questions) to pick up in the lovely modern van, was absolute perfection. Lucked into the best day weather wise in NY that weekend. Tony was amazing. Loved that you got to get out and explore. PIZZA stops amazing. I have walked Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan but did not know about area Tony took us to. This tour wants me to go and explore brooklyn more. Loved the MOVIE clips shown when you were in the area. Never felt rushed and Tony always had time for questions. Great humour too. MY only critique and it is a small one........I would have loved to had time to explore CONEY on boardwalk more, only about 5 min more to take some pics as we were walking with Tony and had to keep up to hear his history. LOVED IT! Cant wait to take friends next time in New York or other tours Tony does. |

| This was the best tour I have ever taken. Tony is so personable and he knows his Brooklyn, Saw things I would not have seen and learned a few things about Brooklyn I didnt know. Not to mention the pizza was great.. I felt like I was with a cousin getting the family tour of his hometown. We are sending our son and his wife to New York and are buying tickets to the tour for them also. Big recommendation . I would do it again. |
