A Slice of Brooklyn Bus Tours

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!

We had a great time on The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour. Tony is very enthusiastic and informative during the whole tour. Highlght to me was stopping in the park by the Brooklyn Bridge and also visiting Coney Island. Enjoyed both pizza stops and will let it up to future tour takers to decide which pizza is the best in Brooklyn! I would definitely recommend this tour. It not only takes you through areas of Brooklyn that you would probably not see on your own, but the little bits of information that Tony gives along the way, like what movies were filmed there and the added plus that he shows the movie clips makes the tour even more fun. Would loved to have taken a ride on the Cyclone in Coney Island. Maybe next trip!

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!

Tony and his tour ranks right up at the top of one of our favorite days in NYC. (and Brooklyn) This guy is amazing -what knowledge, energy, enthusiasm! It feels like visiting an old friend and having him want to make your day very special. And he did! He talks for the entire tour - hardly taking a breath- amazing! As I said - don't miss it!

From beginning to end this tour was wonderful! It was relaxed, not rushed , and filled with wonderful stories, information and historical facts. Tony's 'real deal' knowledge and personality are right on. Not only did we get to eat and savor great pizza and spumoni, we saw Brooklyn through the eyes of Tony, a native, whose love of this area is infectious. His capacity for fun and adventure knew no bounds when he rode the 'Cyclone' at Coney Island with others on the tour. We recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get away from the tourist trappings of NYC (not that there's anything wrong with that). He is developing other tours. Can't wait to join him for whatever tours he offers in the future. Tony Muia is the real deal and don't you 'forgetta about it'!

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!

My parents decided to go to New York to celebrate their 25th anniversary and they couldn't have been happier. They took one of the Double Decker tours through the city and they also took the A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza tour and they say this is the best tour they've ever been on by far. The host Tony was excellent and really knows Brooklyn. I even e-mailed Tony and asked him if he could wish my parents a Happy 25th anniversary. Not only did I get quick responses from Tony, but my parents were totally caught off guard when Tony wished them a Happy 25th anniversary. Thanks again Tony! My parents enjoyed the pizza as well. Said both places were excellent. And they just loved Coney Island. So I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody visiting New York City. I know when I go back, I'll definitely be taking the tour. My parents enjoyed it and had a great time. Great host, great pizza, great tour. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The food was good. The tour entertaining and informational. Great guide and host, enthusiastic and attentive to participants. A passionate promoter of Brooklyn/NYC. We are ready to go back and hit more sights.

Know nothing about Brooklyn other than how to spell it? Then this tour will change that. Enjoy a good pizza and convinced your hometown favorite is the best? Then this tour will change your mind. Seen lots of movies and wondered just where in NYC they were filmed? Gotta be Brooklyn and you'll be there and watch them at the same time. We Americans have all heard of Coney Island but who'd have thought the Boardwalk was so large and could be so crowded on a sunny Memorial Day weekend. This tour is such fun - your guide is from Brooklyn and loves sharing it with his customers. Bring your appetite!!

Both my boyfriend and I throughly enjoyed the tour and it was the highlight of our trip. Tony is a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and a fantastic host. Thanks Tony!!

Since going on this tour we have experienced all the following : Have not stopped talking about it. Have been telling our friends and family about it. Have planned our next trip to Brooklyn. Have suffered from intense Grimaldi's & Spumoni's pizza withdrawal ! Tony has created a masterpiece that features pizza -but it's a lot more than just the pizza. Its Brooklyn history , its real estate info, its the story of the evolution of the city and it's famous people and it's pop culture. It's many amazing photo ops and it's the very cool experience of going to a popular restaurant and walking right past a line of 100 to your waiting table! A brilliant part of the experience are the videos on the bus of movie scenes timed precisely with your arrival at the exact location where they were shot. Tony personalized the tour by speaking one on one with all the guests. He posseses a wealth of information and I believe he could speak in depth on any subject that has anything to do with his beloved Borough. My 13 year old daughter loved it too! Thinking about going to a Broadway play? Fuhgeddaboudit! Take this tour instead, you won't regret it.

This tour was wonderful, and I highly recommend it. Tony was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable. Even got to ride the famous Cyclone on Coney Island. Who could ask for anything more. Do not hesitate to book this tour -- you will not be disappointed.

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!

This tour is fantastic. Tony is the nicest, down to earth guy with the gift of gab and a home grown pride of Brooklyn. This tour is interesting and fun from start to finish. Even the most jaded of travelers should find this tour memorable, and worth every penny. Do it! You will not regret it. We are looking forward to participating in any future tours Tony comes up with. Thanks Tony, for making our weekend in NYC a truly special one. Ken Miller (Rochester, ny)
