A Slice of Brooklyn Bus Tours

I live in Manhattan, know lots of people who are Brooklyn residents, and have taken this tour twice -- once with friends and once with adult family members. Even so I can hardly wait to come back yet again with my 'tween nephews. Like being shown the town by your funniest and most well-connected buddy!.

We lucked out... Our tour took place in the beginning of our on-again-off-again rainy week in NYC, and we mostly had rain that day. Our tour guide was completely entertaining and knowledgeable, and we had some of the best pizza EVER in Brooklyn! Even my brother (who lives in Brooklyn) didn't know half the things we experienced on our tour. I highly recommend this tour, rain or shine. The hours flew by, and, before we knew it, we were back in Manhattan!

This is the tour to take in NYC! Tony makes this tour a must-see. His passion for and knowledge of his home town is second to none. We saw Brooklyn as it was meant to be seen--from an insider who loves it and is connected to it. Then there is the pizza -- the best we have ever tasted. Grimaldi's and L & B are the best. I highly reccomend this tour to anyone and everyone. Just do it; you won't be disappointed. P.S. Major kudos to Danny the driver! Dennis & Holly Baltimore, Maryland

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour--the pizza and spumoni were fantastic. We really felt we got our money's worth on this one! The tour guide was the best I've ever experienced--thanks for a wonderful time Brooklyn!!

I'll keep it short and to the point. This is the best Pizza Tour or Any Tour I've ever been on, and I've been on plenty of tours. Tony and Danny give you a view of Brooklyn you've never seen and can only see with them along with having pizza at the best pizza in NYC. This is a "Must Do" when visiting the City of New York. Keep up the Great Work, Tony...................... Mike McCoy

I am a native New Yorker and live in Brooklyn. This tour has opened my eyes to see Brooklyn in a whole different light. Tony, our tour guide was a delight. He kept us entertained continuously and there was never a dull moment. He did his research and kept us well informed of all the different points of interest that we stopped at. The snipets of video was well put together and kept us entertained. You could tell that he loved what he was doing. The day we went was a sweltering 90+ day. Tony's bus was new, cleaned, air-conditioned and extremely comfortable. We never felt the heat. There were only a few stops that required us to do a bit of walking and it was no big deal. I'm not a pizza lover, but I have to say that Grimaldi's take the cake for Neopolitan-style pizza and LB Spumoni Gardens Sicilian-style pizza was absolutely delicious. But you have to try the spumoni for dessert to top off the meal. My husband loved the tour so much that we are planning to book the "Christmas LIghts" tour and "Wise-Guy" tour coming up in September. This was my first New York tour and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It didn't feel like 4-1/2 hours because it was so enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a first hand experience of Brooklyn. I got this tour as a birthday gift and I must say it was one of the best gifts I received. What a great idea! For $75 you get a tour plus a meal, what a great bargain. I'd much preferred this to a Broadway play which could range in the $100+. Keep up the good work, Tony!

Our trip to New York was a bit of a family get together and we thought this might be a fun thing to do and it really, really was. Some of us had been to NY before and others had never been but we all enjoyed it equally, Tony was a fantastic guide and he really made the tour for us. We loved the 'pimped' tour bus and the pizza was delicious... plus Tony had obviously put a lot of time into researching the facts and getting the film clips just right which was lovely. Overall I'd say if you're looking at the information for this tour and thinking 'that looks pretty cool' then just book it you'll have a great time!

This trip was the highlight of our stay in New York. We did all of the touristy things that are expected and then some, but the Pizza Tour was the most original and entertaining of all. Tony obviously has done his research about Brooklyn and has an enthusiasm for the area that is obviously genuine. I would take this trip again, when I next visit. Most recommended !!!

I've been up to NYC many times, but had never ventured beyond Manhattan. I've been curious about the other boroughs, but never really knew where to go. After seeing Brooklyn through the eyes of Tony, our wonderful guide, I'll probably go back and explore some more on my own, if for no other reason than the pizza. The pizza places we stopped at were fantastic. I particularly liked the Sicilian pizza (the 2nd stop - so don't eat too much at the first!). I highly recommend this tour as a great way to get introduced to another part of the city and to eat some great pizza!

WOW!!! What a FUN way to get acquainted with a borough that we previosly knew nothing about! I have been travelling to NYC for over 20 years and had not seen Coney Island, and I finally feel like I truly KNOW New York now! Oh, and the pizza???? AWESOME!!!! Tony has definitely picked out the best two pizza places, and they were both DELISH! Tony himself has truly found his calling...he is an AWESOME tour guide, totally a pleasure to listen to and a genuinely NICE guy! We can't wait for the Wise Guys tour! Whatcha gonna feed us on THAT one??? ;-) Thanks for a TERRIFIC addition to a great NYC trip!!! I LOVE that I now know a little about Brooklyn, and I look forward to visiting there again!

What a great way to spend Memorial Day. Had a fantastic time with my mother, brother and sister-in-law, who were in town from North Carolina and Indianapolis. Our guide Tony was wonderful, knowledgeable and entertaining and the pizza was amazing. I'd recommend to New Yorkers and visitors alike!

My husband and I enjoyed this tour so much two years ago that we took it again this week with 4 of our family members! Tony is a great tour leader - well-organized and full of cute stories and information, and he has a great personality which just fits a visit to Brooklyn to enjoy great pizza and to see and learn about some interesting sites there. The trip also gives you some amazing views of Manhatten from the Brooklyn side, as well as the Brooklyn and Manhatten bridges, and the trip to Coney Island is also a treat. I would highly recommend this tour!

We thoroughly enjoyed this acitvity. Even more than the pizza (which was excellent!), we were amazed at the history and celebrities of Brooklyn. We would have never taken a trip over to Brooklyn if had not been for this tour. Tony makes this tour one to remember and not to miss. He has so much "underground" knowledge of Brooklyn, both present and historical, which completely changed the way we thought about this area. The pizza was fantastic and who would of ever found these places so far out of the way. Thanks for a very enjoyable and memorable trip - we will be recommending this tour to all of our friends visiting the NYC area.

Better than expected!

My husband and I took the tour and really enjoyed. Tony (our tour guide) was a real professional, very knowledge about Brooklyn and added many personal details about what it was like growing up in Brooklyn. The points of interest were exactly what we wanted to see with the added feature of showing movie clips on the tour bus, The pizza stops were great with more than enough to taste. We have already recommended this to several friends and will continue to do so. Carol Buffalo, New York
