| While the pizza was super, the tour is much more than great pizza. Tony presents a wonderful slice of Brooklyn. Interesting locations and fun facts kept us entertained during the entire time including the two "lunch" hours. Just as the tour shows there is more to Brooklyn than just pizza, you will learn that there is more to New York than just Manhatten. |

| Interesting and fun tour combining history, pizza stops, film locations, and local gossip. Toni the tour leader was fantastic.
The only thing we would suggest about the tour is that it would have been nice to drive by the Brooklyn bottanical garden and museam locations. |

| This was a great tour of Brooklyn! We were given the highlights of the area and had fun eating out at two great Pizza establishments! The day was full and it was a nice way to learn about Brooklyn. |

| My mom and I went on this tour. We go to Manhatten a couple of times a year and when we saw this tour described in our local paper, we thought it would be something different to do in NYC. Tony, the tour guide and developer of this tour, is fabulous. He knows a lot about Brooklyn and has worked very hard to integrate music and video into the tour, so your just not listening to someone talk all the time. The pizza was great in both restaurants and it was a treat to sit down and talk to other people on the tour in the pizza shops. I've already recommended it to friends who live in NYC and they were fascinated by the idea, because they don't go to other boroughs unless it's for work. |

| fifty trips to NY (over forty years), and we have never been to Brooklyn. Tour should follow route "East River to Coney Island, and back again". One pizza on the way down, and one pizza on the way back. Should include one ride on the ferris wheel at turn-around time. Four hours is sufficient. Should stop half-hour each at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Event might end with a final walk across the Brooklyn Bridge to return to Manhattan, with obvious directions to anywhere from that end of the bridge. Non-walkers could continue in bus to starting place. Define the focus: Brooklyn or Pizza....probably pizza, since nobody would be interested in Brooklyn without the pizza gimmick. Will tell everybody we know about the tour, and encourage them to take it. Great idea of having the film clips...and the music |

| In many ways....not only was the pizza very good but the guide ,Tony was very informative in a way that made the time fly by, with laughs and fun spots to to enjoy for the four hours. Comfortable bus, my daughter and I had a fun time, we highly recommend it to all. |

| Tony was great in providing an enjoyable tour without a dull moment. The stops at the pizza restaurants were the perfect compliment to the experiences of Brooklyn. And the fact that the pizza was built into the ticket price just made this an even better value. It really makes a difference to havea tour guide who is passionate about the town in which he was raised. Thanks again Tony for the great tour. |

| I thought Tony was an excellent tour guide with great enthusiasm and knowledge of Brooklyn. His energy really made the tour what it was, as well as his patience for all of our questions. You could tell he really cared that we, the customers, were enjoying ourselves, and he made it a point to make sure that everyone was having fun. I thought the tour itself was really interesting and a great opportunity, as I would never have been able to see so much of Brooklyn in such a short period of time. The two stops for Pizza were also great, and it was nice trying two different types of Pizza. I think the idea of having a bunch of different tours around Brooklyn is a good idea, as we only seemed to cover a small portion of Brooklyn. I think the 4 1/2 hour time span was perfect. I will definitely recommend this tour to my friends and family.
Good luck!
