| The tour exceeded our expectations. The tour guide was excellent and gave us new and interesting information about Brooklyn.
Both pizza stops were excellent. L&B Spumoni Gardens brought back fond childhood memories for my wife.
We highly recommend this tour. |

| -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! |

| The pizza restaurants represented different pizza cuisines and were both outstanding. Our tour guide explained much about Brooklyn and New York in general. She made the tour most interesting by adding personal anecdotes that brought great realism to all she was saying. The showing of movie clips matching our actual locations was quite entertaining. The musical background also added to our entertainment. In general, I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about real life New York/Brooklyn. |

| We recently booked a trip with Tony for the Brooklyn Pizza tour. He was a great guide and the bus was very comfortable and well airconditioned. It was a well done tour. We kept moving at a nice pace, so we didn't get bored. The pizza places we went to were delicious and the spumoni was the best we every tasted. It was very interesting and I would recommend it to all. |

| My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The pizza tour is educational, both of the pizza places are excellent and unique. Paula our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, informative, personable, and encouraged the tour to ask questions. I really enjoyed how the tour would show clips of movies and then we would see where the movie scene actually took place. I saw several nice neighborhoods, row houses and apartment buildings, but then I wondered where all of those people work, it appeared there are more places to live than there are places to work. Years ago in the 1970's, I was at Pratt Institute and that neighborhood and Brooklyn as a whole seemed run down and unsafe. However, this tour showed parts of Brooklyn that appear to be a very nice place to live and raise a family. Overall the 4-1/2 hour tour went by very fast and we highly recommend it, and we are considering other tours. The tour is well worth the money and time, was a pleasure, thank you very much. |

| The Slice of Brooklyn Tour is a MUST SEE! The pick-up area was easy to fine and Tony owner/guide was very punctual. Tony is obviously very proud and knowledgeable of Brooklyn. The four and a half hours flew by, and the tour around Brooklyn, including Coney Island, combined with the pizza stops were incredible. I will do the tour again if I am back in NYC. |

| I have wanted to go on the Brooklyn Pizza tour ever since I read about it in the NY Times over 2 years ago. Every time I have been in NYC it has either been sold out or I have been in NYC on days that it was not offered. I went on the tour the weekend of July 17. It was a great time. Tony is funny, knows all about Brooklyn and the four 1/2 hours went by like 30 minutes. The pizza stops are great , but seeing Brooklyn though Tony with his use of video, is so much fun. I have not stopped talking about this tour with friends. So, FORGETABOUTIT, and book this tour as soon as you can!! |

| Tony is a natural as a tour guide - he really makes the trip. The tour never dragged or was ever boring. The trip is very well laid out and Tony really knows Brooklyn. The picture taking opportunities are breath taking. The pizza experiences are well placed and both pizzas were very good. It was a pleasure being with someone (Tony) that still gets excited even though he has probably done the trip many times. He is truly a guy that loves his job and his business. You will not be disappointed!
