I took this tour with my Mom, and both of us are New York natives. We had heard about it some time back and went in not knowing what to expect. Let me tell you, we were absolutely floored! This is obviously one of the best things to do in New York, and this is from someone who's lived here all my life. The star of the tour is Tony, a native Brooklynite who loves his city and his borough fiercely, and is kind, charming, hilarious, knowledgeable, accomodating--everything a guide should be! The pizza was the best I've had in my life, and even my Mother (who's biased towards pizza from The Bronx) agreed it was quite special. The group on my tour was loads of fun, and everyone got along nicely. It felt more like an outing with old friends than anything else. For people coming into the city and figuring out what to do, I can't think of a better thing. I agree with Tony that it's a shame people would leave NY without experiencing all the city has to offer. There's more to see than just the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty! Take Tony's pizza tour if you want to see gems around Brooklyn and have a truly unforgettable experience! You can't miss with this tour! Bravo, Tony, and all the best to you! I'll probably be back to take another tour soon! - Joe from Queens |

My wife and I are from Queens, everyone else on the tour was from out of town, and we all agreed the tour was great. Tony is an excellent guide; he knows and loves Brooklyn and pizza.
I'd been to all the best pizzerias in Manhattan and Queens, but Grimaldi's (our 1st stop) may top them all. We never get to Brooklyn, and this was a great way to see it and get around. I'm normally not a big fan of Sicilian-style pizza, but L&B's (2nd pizza stop) was by far the best I've ever had.
The tour bus was the perfect size--we weren't cramped yet we didn't feel like tourists either. It was fun and surreal to watch the movie clips as we were right next to the locales.
I got this tour as a present--it is a great gift.
We loved everything about the tour (Tony, the pizza, Coney Island, our fellow pizza-eaters...) and highly recommend it.

A tour that we loved as much as our three teenagers, ages 13, 15, and 17. This tour will be in our plans AGAIN soon. |

My mother (age 77) and I had a wonderful time on the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour. Although we occasionally go back to our old neighborhood, it was great not to have to worry about traffic and parking. The pizza was delicious (we skipped dinner), Tony was charming and Ray was a great driver. A Prospect Park/Botanical Gardens/Park Slope tour would make this Brooklynite happy.

Tony has put together a well researched guide to Brooklyn. Combination of personal experiance and hard work make this tour ourstanding.
As a location is passed there is a related film clip highlighting the exact spot as it was captured in movie history.
Tony's outgoing personality and love of his Borough make it a delight.
There is music, fun and great pizza. What could be better. |

I enjoyed the tour very much. It was interesting seeing parts of Brooklyn most tours do not cover. Tony was very personable and enthusiastic. He treated everyone like his personal friend. 11 people attended our tour and everyone was friendly and outgoing. I enjoyed sitting together as a group at the two pizza restauants and getting to speak to most of the people on the tour. I also enjoyed when we were shown scenes from a movie as we passed the location where the movie was filmed. I plan to highly recommend the tour to everyone I know. It's a great way to pass 4.5 + hours. By the way, the pizza was excellent! |

I highly recommend this tour for tourists and Brooklynites alike. I attended with my father and uncle who were both raised in Brooklyn. I resided in Park Slope for several years as well. Between the three of us we thought we knew alot about Brooklyn. But the borough is so diverse and so tied to the history of New York City as a whole that we found out we had alot to learn. And Tony served up the knowledge (along with a flair toward entertainment) and the pizza, with great enthusiasm. He was informative, interesting and the prepared film and support materials were also well done. If you live in brooklyn and want to know more about your home, take this tour. If you are from out of town and think Brooklyn is an insignificant lower income appendage to Manhattan, think again and take this tour. At the end you will be full of truly excellent pizza and new found knowledge. |
