A Slice of Brooklyn Bus Tours

tony was great. knew everything about the tour and was very friendly

A fabulous day of great food and an incredible tour of Brooklyn. Tony is a virtual encyclopedia of knowledge of his home town. From the homes on Shore Rd to the streets of Bensonhurst where "the boys" hung out, I had no idea of the vast complexity and beauty and history there. Eating at Grimaldi's was like going into another time. The history of the place is worth knowing, and the pizza is like nothing you've ever had. Make sure you enjoy an "Olde Brooklyn" soda with your pizza. Driving down the exact streets, while Tony showed bits of parts of famous movies was really exciting. I haven't been to Coney Island since the mid- 50's, but thanks to Tony, got to walk the boardwalk one more time.....and the Cyclone still works. Having been born in Brooklyn in 1945, and growing up on the Island, I can only say to Tony....Thank you Thank you Thank you. While in the City this time, my wife and I went to my 45th Class Reunion, saw the Jersey Boys on Broadway and went to Saint Gennaro's Feast in Little Italy. Tony's tour of Brooklyn was a stellar point of our trip. Thank you again Tony, and best wishes to you and Paula and Dave...Bob & Bonnie Caggiano

Tony and his tour are absolutely great!!! He understands to give tourist a brief look deep inside of his neibourhood and his passion for his borrow!!! We will come back for the wise gy tour!

We had a wonderful time. Tony was funny, informative and said just enough about everything. The tour was just long enough. The pizza was great! We also loved the movie clips and CD's that were played. We never knew Brooklyn was such a great place. Brooklyn should pay Tony for the PR. We were also very impressed with the cleanliness of the bus. We loved that we did not have to wait for a seat to eat pizza. Tony spoke about hiring more tour directors. I cannot imagine anyone else being as effective as he was. The authentic Brooklyneeze and first hand knowledge just cannot be duplicated. We plan on doing the Christmas lights tour and any other tours we can fit in. But we really want Tony;

Tony makes all efforts in order to provide fun to the guests. He teachs us on pizza history but also on Brooklyn: the tour is very well organised: we visited the best places in Brooklyn, including most famous places where movies were made, and learn about Brooklyn history. We ate in two different pizzeria. The bus is very comfortable. Tony has reached his objective: changing the perception of people on Brooklyn. MANHATTAN? FORGET ABOUT IT!!!!!!

Tony is passionate about Brooklyn and it comes through clearly by his enthusiasm and knowledge of it. You can't help enjoying this tour as well as walking away with some interesting facts about Brooklyn. The pizza is worth the trip!!

I thought the tour was fun and informative. The pizza was great and Tony made it very interesting. The people on the tour were friendly and seemed to have a good time and we have recommended it to several people already.

We take a tour in every city we visit, and have taken quite a few in NYC. We would consider this one of the best overall. The tour itself was interesting and informative. Tony was an excellent guide, with great enthusiasm for his hometown - which transferred to all of us! The pace of the tour was well thought out, too - just enough on/off stops, and "in the seat" time was well mixed with information from Tony and fun video clips. Our group was most impressed with the details of the tour - the van was very nice, well air conditioned, with easy to see video screens. Windows were huge - so even if you did not have a window seat, you could see well. The group size (ours was 28) was perfect - made it easy to get on/off the van. Tony even had the driver stay with the van at all times so you did not have to lug your stuff around at each stop! The pizza WAS the best -as was the spumoni that we treated ourselves to at the last stop. As we never have more than a few days in the City, we are always quite picky about how we choose to spend our time. This was 3 1/2 hours very well spent & we are already talking about taking one of his other tours on our next visit!

My mom & I recently visited New York, and we took several tours. "A Slice of Brooklyn" was the absolute best, without question! Tony was just terrific, too! He's so entertaining and really makes the tour what it is. You can tell that he really loves what he's doing and loves Brooklyn through & through (and his Uncle Louie was a sweetie as well). The pizza & spumoni were the best we've ever tasted, and believe me, we've tasted a lot! If you visit NY, you have to take Tony's tour to learn all about Brooklyn & the best pizza in the country! I'm ready to go back & take another tour!!! :)

Owner and operator, Tony Muia, was amazing in his knowledge of Brooklyn and his ability to translate it in a fun, witty, interesting and thoroughly enjoyable way. Plus - the pizza was so delicious it defies description. I was so impressed, I featured the "Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour" in my personal blog post on our trip to New York City. Please feel free to sneek a peek if you're interested.

My husband and I are from Long Island and went to the tour with friends who were visiting from Virginia. We absolutely loved the tour. Tony, our guide, was so informative and his passion for Brooklyn really came through. Manhattan from the Brooklyn side is just beautiful. I felt very proud to be a New Yorker! The pizza was delicious--we really enjoyed both styles, the thin-crust from Grimaldi's and the Sicilian from L & B Spumoni Gardens. Also, the spumoni (not included in the price) was well worth it! We thank Tony and Uncle Louis for a terrific day!

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.
