| Excellent well thought out tour with lots to see plus fantastic pizza and spumoni to try. Tony is a great guide and is so knowledgeable about Brooklyn and it's history. We had a great time and would say it is a must do on a trip to New York. The two restaurants we visited are very different in style and in type of pizza they offer - both were excellent and the visits to the restaurants are very well organised without making you feel rushed. We would happily take the tour again and plan to take one of Tony's other tours next time we visit New York. |

| Tony did a fantastic job of showing us the sites in Brooklyn. Would have like ONE more pizza tasting but still enjoyed this tour very much. |

| We had a great time on Tony's tour! It was the highlight of another incredible trip to NYC. The stops for pizza made it unlike other tours of NYC and both places were great! It was especially fun to walk right in when there was a line down the block at Grimaldi's. It was a unique experience to sit down in Brooklyn for a slice with tourmates from around the world, getting to know each other and finding out why Tony was so passionate about Brooklyn and PIZZA. Tony was full of info from US history and the growth of the borough, to pop culture, Brooklyn-born celebs, and the mob. (We will definitely be back for his "Wise Guys" tour about the mob in Brooklyn!) Jumping off the bus in front of the Brooklyn Bridge and for a walk down the Coney Island boardwalk, two places that are simply iconic as New York landmarks and as the backdrops of movies seen all over the world, actually took my breath away. The tour was absolutely worth every penny! |

| I have never been to Brooklyn before but heart a lot about it. The tour gave me a more positive view of Brooklyn. I guess I had the stereotypical view, mostly from movies, that Brooklyn was a low-class place of low-class people. I had the impression it was run down, but it isn't. In fact, there are are some high class areas. I highly recommend the tour. Tony makes it very interesting. |

| The taste of Brooklyn tours scores a ten in my book. We had a great day. Tony, the tour guide, was clear, articulate, knownledgeable and a lot of fun. The sites were terrible and the Pizza was a treat. I am looking forward to go on other tours offer by Tony. |

| My wife and I went on the Brooklyn Pizza tour and were met by Tony and his Uncle Louie. They couldn't have been friendlier. We entered a very comfortable bus and for over four hours had an exceptionally informative and humorous tour of Brooklyn. The Pizza stops were to die for and the home made spumoni was so delicious. Tony- our tour guide-was excellent. His love for Brooklyn was quite evident and certainly helped make the tour such an enjoyable event. It was only minutes after the tour began that we knew we were in for an exceptional 4-5 hours and we enjoyed and savored every minute of it. We could not believe how quickly the time went by and how much fun we had. Beside the great pizza, the tour also played clips from films shot in Brooklyn. As the movie clips were playing our bus was travelling the very locations that were on the screen. Of course, Tony was very knowledgable of the background of the films and shared that information with us. This concept made you feel as though you were almost part of the film. I would have to say that if a rating system had a star rating with one star being the lowest and five stars being the highest-this tour would rate six stars. Yes, it really was that good. If you take the tour bring a big appetite and be prepared for one of the best experiences you will have. My wife and I have been on many tours and found this one to be one of the very best. |

| We booked this tour before leaving Australia. We hoped to have a tour experience a little different from the usual and perhaps a bit quirky. Our expectations were exceeded tenfold! The tour is information packed from start to finish and was great fun. We got up close and personal with the Brooklyn bridge and saw aspects of the city we would otherwise have missed. We ate great pizza, toured many movie locations relevant to Brooklyn and heard lots of insights into the area's history with lots of local colour. We left feeling we wanted to come back and do it all again the next day. We will certainly take this tour next time we visit NYC. Tony and his uncle Louie were wonderfully entertaining hosts and great ambassadors for Brooklyn. I even bought the t-shirt. Fuhgettaboudit!
Loved it
