| After seeing this unique tour on the today show I knew I had to include it in "things to do" when my parents came to visit me in NYC for the first time. I am so glad we did! We were greeted very kindly by "Uncle Louie" when we arrived at Manhattan's Union Square. We jumped on the bus and met our two lovey lady tour guides! Please forgive me but I am horrible with names. Anywho, I certaintly appreciated the detail and knowledge of the tour guides. I have lived in Queens now for about one year and had never explored Brooklyn like this. We were able to take beautiful pictures of Manhattan from Brooklyn along with great views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. The pizza was great as well. I have heard of Grimaldi's but never of L&B Spumoni Gardens. This silcian pizza is super delicious! I will be going back know that I know which train to take! My parents were equally amazed by this tour. Being from TX they won't soon forget about their journey through this delightful borough. This is well worth the money and your time! The double decker tour buses have nothing on the Brooklyn Pizza Tour. |

| I went on this tour with my friend from San Diego who never visited NYC before. When I asked her what her second favorite thing about her trip to NYC (besides me of course), she said it was the Brooklyn Pizza Tour (and the day before we went to the Sex in the City Tour).
Tony was an incredible tour guide with a super friendly demonour and extremely knowledgeable out Brooklyn. We were able to see and walk under the Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO, and Coney Island. Then the best part was eating 2 slices of Margarita Pizza and 2 slices of Sicilian Pizza (with leftovers when the tour was over) from 2 of the best pizza places in NY.
I lived in NY my whole life and the Sicilian slices were the best pizza I ever ate!
Also we visited the famous Brooklyn Brownstone houses and was shown famous locations, personalities, and general life in Brooklyn. |

| We had a great time and Tony is a charming, informative tour guide. The pizza was very good and we were impressed with the tour bus - clean with comfortable leather seats that recline. Loved the movie clips as you're passing the same spot in the clip. Our only suggestions: instead of 2 slices at both pizza places, how about 1 slice at THREE pizza places (would make the $75 per ticket seem more worth it). OR end the tour at a famous Brooklyn bakery for cookies or bread to take home. |

| We had a wonderful time. Tony was funny, informative and said just enough about everything. The tour was just long enough. The pizza was great! We also loved the movie clips and CD's that were played. We never knew Brooklyn was such a great place. Brooklyn should pay Tony for the PR. We were also very impressed with the cleanliness of the bus. We loved that we did not have to wait for a seat to eat pizza. Tony spoke about hiring more tour directors. I cannot imagine anyone else being as effective as he was. The authentic Brooklyneeze and first hand knowledge just cannot be duplicated. We plan on doing the Christmas lights tour and any other tours we can fit in. But we really want Tony; |

You can't help enjoying this tour as well as walking away with some interesting facts about Brooklyn.
The pizza is worth the trip!! |

| My husband and I are from Long Island and went to the tour with friends who were visiting from Virginia. We absolutely loved the tour. Tony, our guide, was so informative and his passion for Brooklyn really came through. Manhattan from the Brooklyn side is just beautiful. I felt very proud to be a New Yorker!
The pizza was delicious--we really enjoyed both styles, the thin-crust from Grimaldi's and the Sicilian from L & B Spumoni Gardens. Also, the spumoni (not included in the price) was well worth it!
We thank Tony and Uncle Louis for a terrific day! |

| Tony is the 'best.' The film shorts and music are a real plus. It's a sightseeing extravaganza. Maryann |

| This tour is everything it promises to be. The tour guide was funny, informative, friendly. He has it down to a science and everything ran smoothly and timely.. I think it's good value for the money and highly recommend this tour.
It is the second time I have taken the tour and each time was perfect. |
