| My wife and I had a great time. Paula did a great job although I would have preferred Tony as the tour guide as his Italian authenticity is what I was expecting.
Overall The pizza and the tour of Brooklyn was great. I would have never experienced the history and all the celebrities that came from Brooklyn if it wasn't for this tour.
I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends and I am looking forward to the new Mob Tour when I return to New York.

| We especially enjoyed the thin crust pizza from Grimaldi's at the beginning of the tour. Touring all the different neighborhoods of Brooklyn was interesting and the tour guide Paula provided excellent and informative commentary. |

| Paula was our tour guide on this slushy, cold, winter day. It was a small group but she made us all feel at home. She was very knowledgable and the driver Danny had everything timed just right as she was talking about a specific topic he would be driving by. Paula also threw in some personal stories that really made the tour feel like you might just be stopping by to see mom. We had a blast and will highly recommend this tour. Oh, and the pizza was amazing - the bus was split 50/50 on which place they liked better. We did not eat dinner that night!!!! |

| Pizza and tour was very good. Our tour guide, Paula, was very good too. However, I thought the trip was slightly overpriced. You were limited to how much pizza you could eat and I felt somwhat rushed out of the restaurants. |

| The tour was well organized, on time & fun. The only bad thing is that the weather
was terrible for sightseeing -in or out of the mini-bus. If only the windows would have
de-fogged better. Paula (our guide) however was not to be defeated and carried on
enthusiastically. Danny, the driver navigated the slippery roads like a pro. Walking
thru 4" of snow on Coney Islands board walk would not be something I'd do again,
great pictures though. The pizza at both locations was as good as it gets, and there
plenty to eat- and leftover. She said at the beginning that a large group had cancelled
so the only thing I wonder is if there would have been the same amount of pizza,
which would have stretched it thin. Overall a solid "10" with a 5 handicap for the
snow. |

| Although the weather was not perfect, the tour was. Paula was excellent; very charming ( and easy to look at), and very knowledgeable. The tour made us want to come back to Brooklyn, and not just for the pizza, but that would be a necessary start.
My wife, dressed in all black, on a snow covered Coney Island Boardwalk ,made a piece of art. We loved it and so will you. Steven and Rachel Binegar Versailles, Ky |

| My wife and I took Tony's tour based on the recomendation of dear friends. We were not disappointed. We went to NY for wifes 65th B'day primarily to see the Rocketts, which was great., but our Brooklyn tours rated right up there. On this tour Tony's cousin Maria was our guide. She was smart, knew what she was talking about, made the time fly, and is beautiful to boot.
We liked the Neapolitan pizza best compared to the Sicilian by a lot. Maybe because it is closer to what we are used to. However the pizza itself is only the topping on a great four and half hours.
We took the tour December 12, 2008. 39 degrees and blowing wind. Loads of fun in spite of.
