| We had such a great time touring Brooklyn and eating pizza. The thin crust was the best! Tony was a great tour guide. Enjoyed it! |

| Despite living in Brooklyn I found this tour really informative and it was a great way to go places I've always known about but never got a chance to visit, like the Brooklyn Bridge park and Grimaldi's. I went because I had family visiting who wanted to try some of the reknowned pizza places in Brooklyn and have a good look around and we weren't disappointed. Both pizza places were amazing, and just being able to shoot to the head of the long line at Grimaldi's was worth the price of the tour. We definetly didn't go hungry. There were ample picture momemnts along the tour too, with wonderful views of the bridges and the Manhattan skyline and Coney Island. The guide kept up a lively narration filled with personal, historical, and pop-culture stories. The video clips of films shot in Brooklyn shown as we passed those locations was a great touch. This tour has it all, info, food, ambience, and lots of fun. I reccommend it to anyone who wants to get to know Brooklyn better, including people from other boroughs as well as out-of-towners. I look forward to more tours by this provider, maybe one that's all movie sites? |

| Our host Paula ( I hope that is right) was very fun and informative.
Loved the Pizza stops. Enjoyed the tour of Coney Island and walking on the boardwalk.
The movie clips connected to the real places were fun.
Interesting to hear about the history as well as the changes occuring in the area.
A fun way to check out Brooklyn. |

| My husband and I enjoyed this tour so much two years ago that we took it again this week with 4 of our family members! Tony is a great tour leader - well-organized and full of cute stories and information, and he has a great personality which just fits a visit to Brooklyn to enjoy great pizza and to see and learn about some interesting sites there. The trip also gives you some amazing views of Manhatten from the Brooklyn side, as well as the Brooklyn and Manhatten bridges, and the trip to Coney Island is also a treat. I would highly recommend this tour! |

| Tony is absolutely excellent in every way possible ... enthusiastic, knowledgeable, accomodating, efficient, thorough, etc., providing maps and all details in the MOST professional manner.
However, this is more of a very informative tour of Brooklyn than a "pizza tour." We went to two pizza places which were fine ... but the emphasis of the 4 hour tour is Brooklyn itself, i.e., sites, history, trends, etc. We covered a lot, and it was very good ; some places we saw were Red Hook, Dumbo, Coney Island, Brighton Beach area, residential streets, etc. Tony organizes everything down to the finest detail, even with Brooklyn movie clips and music (dvd on the comfortable / clean bus).
However, unless there's at least one more pizza place added into the tour (maybe drop one of the sights?), I wouldn't call this a "pizza tour."
Other than that, it's excellent if you want to see Brooklyn and have two pizza stops. |

| -The bus, the movie clips on the bus, and the guide were great, couldn't be better.
-The pizzas themselves didn't live up to our expectations...they had no toppings and there were 2 stops for pizza.
-We were disappointed in seeing Brooklyn itself...wasn't there anything better or more interesting to see? Seeing where movies were made was interesting as well as Coney Island (rundown), but I would have also liked to see something positive! |

| I felt as though I was a personal friend of Tony's and that he was showing me around a place he loved. I knew nothing about Brooklyn although I have been to Manhatten many times and now I will probably go back to Brooklyn the next time I visit NY City.
The pizza was really good too. |

| Tony has put together an outstanding tour that was enjoyed by everyone in our family (including our two teenage girls and our 9 year old boy). Convenient meeting spot in Manhattan kicked things off and Tony's personality and knowledge are what makes the tour. The pizza is outstanding but the running commentary and video clips really make this tour worth it. Highly recommended. |
