| This tour was recommended to me by a friend who had taken it last summer and it was blast. You learn so much about Brooklyn and get to eat great pizza along the way. One of the best features was the movie clips that show all the places in Brooklyn that I've seen in the movies for years. I highly recommend this tour for any and everyone!!! |

| my wife and i thought tony was absolutely marvellous. as he was brooklyn born and bred his enthusiasm and pride was evident in the way he spoke. the film clips were also great and what a difference in not having the usual pedestrian streotype guide taught from a book
we loved our 5 hours and have no hesitation in recommending
say hello to tony from his 2 jewish guests from friday |

| This tour is SO much more than eating pizza (as good as the pizza stops were! ) With a vry comfortable bus, a creative route, and the owner/tour guide who was born and raised in Brooklyn mywife and I learned all there was to know about Brooklyn: Its history, waves of immigration and how they changed the neighborhoods, people of note:politicians to underworld types to entertainment and sports notables. A creative addition was to screen areas as we drove thru them e.g. driving under the EL at the spot where the chase scene for "French Connection was filmed and showing the scene on dropdown units. The bus get-offs were well planned to walk parks, eat pizza, see Coney Island, etc. Tony couldn't be better mixing in depth history with personal anecdotes and a wonderful sense of humor and a focus on comfort and service. You will really enjoy this tour! |

| We took our 9 employees on an end of year trip to NYC and everyone of them said out of all the things we did (Empire State Building,Statue of Liberty and Times Square) The Slice of Brooklyn tour was their favorite. Tony provided more inside information about the places and people of Brooklyn that made it much more interesting than your average tour plus when you have a group of teenagers it sure does not hurt to have pizza to eat on top of that. I would not hesitate to recomend the Slice of Brooklyn Tour to anyone that was making a trip to NYC. Thank you Tony From the gang at the Udder Side in Jonesville, Michigan Dave Bauer |

| This was more a tour of Brooklyn than just eating pizza that were good, but not exceptional. |

| The tour was OK but the best parts are when you are not on the bus.-----the Brooklyn Bridge and Coney Island Boardwalk. The rest just goes by in a blur. The pizza places had some atmosphere but I did not think the pies were particularly great. The spumoni was great!! |

| We have traveled all over the world and this is, without a doubt, one of, if not the best, tours we have taken. Tony is wonderful, friendly, fun and full of great information. The work he has put into this trip with the relevant music and video clips of movies that were made in Brooklyn does nothing but enhance the experience. AND, the pizza stops were so good! Two different types of pies to experience. Don't miss it! |

| It's not often that you can have so much fun and learn so much at the same time. We found Tony to be very accomodating to our needs. He had great enthusiasm for Brooklyn and that in turn translated to each tour participant. We hope that as his business grows, he will be able to employ individuals with the same knowledge and enthusiasm for Brooklyn.
The bus was very comfortable and the video screens helped enhance the experience. It is obvious that Tony has done a lot of research and has a very personal love for Brooklyn.
We are from New Mexico and do not get to the Brooklyn area frequently, but on our next trip we look forward to the neighborhood tour. We have enthusiastically recommended his tours to everyone we talk to. |

| The new bus, the area, the pizza, and Tony made our day. I mean "fuhgettaboudit." This tour is one of our best experiences in New York. When we heard about the tour on the Today Show, I didn't get too excited. We laughed, ate, and became immersed in the wonderful culture of Brooklyn. Unlike the scripted monotone tour guides we were expecting, Tony is vibrant, enthusiastic straight shooter who tells it like he sees it. He is knowledgeable and entertaining with stories that reflect his love of Brooklyn and its history. His attitude and obivious love for his home is so sincere that at the end of the tour you wish you were from Brooklyn. |
