| I can't say enough great things about this tour. Tony is an incredible character & his passion for Brooklyn comes across beautifully. I couldn't believe it had been almost five hours when the tour was over. A must do! | ||||||

| The tour was wonderful. One of the best I have ever taken. Tony, being a native of Brooklyn, was an outstanding guide. The tour was fast moving, and varied. I loved the way he took us to movie locations, and then showed the video of the movie that involved the location. I learned alot and the two places we stopped for pizza were excellent. I was with a group of 15 middle aged women and we all loved it. I have already recommended it to many of my friends. | ||||||

| This tour was a great value. It was long enough to show us a lot of interesting places in Brooklyn and on the Manhattan side as we started and ended the tour. The bus we travelled in was very nice. The driver would let us off at one of the tour stops and pick us up a long the way-no need for us to walk back. The pizzerias were good. It depends on what you like. Most of us liked the first stop with the coal fired pizza and were so-so on the second stop with the Sicilian style pizza. The tour guides -Tony (very knowledgable) and his cousin were excellent although they could have benefitted from a speaking system and microphone when we were off the bus at some sites. Stand close since the traffic/subway noise can be loud at times, especially near the Brooklyn bridge. All iin all -highly recommended. | ||||||

| I took the pizza tour on the advice of friends who took it a few months back. I expected to have a good time like they said, but the tour exceeded my expectations. The first thing I noticed was how nice the bus is. It's clean, comfortable and I could easily see from both sides of the bus. Danny, the driver, did a great job getting us around the borough. Tony, the tour guide, was joined by his Uncle Louie and his two cousins Paula and Maria. Tony said that he's hiring family members as he's expanding his company, so Paula and Maria did parts of the tour along with Tony and they all did a great job. I found out that his cousin Maria had actually been a tour guide in Italy. His uncle Louie is the real deal, he's as Brooklyn as it gets.The entire day I felt like a part of the family. My favorite part of the tour, besides the amazing pizza at both stops, was to be able to actually stand on the legendary boardwalk at Coney Island. This tour is worth every penny and I'll recommend it to all my friends. I'll be back to take Tony's other tours as well. Good luck Tony! | ||||||

| Tony and his entire family were a joy to be with. We had the best experience of our entire vacation in New York City. The tour lasted a little bit longer than planned but we could have gone on for hours listening to the stories that were told and seeing all the sights of Brooklyn. We would book the tour again and again. | ||||||

| We had heard 'on the grapevine' that this was a great tour, not just for great food but for the quality of the tour of Brooklyn and the fun had. Interestingly it was not offered by travel agents here (Queensland, Australia) and I had to go on the internet to find out more. I was impressed by the detail on the website and the reviews posted. I booked on line easily and was also impressed by the details given answering all questions commonly asked. The tour was professional, fun, informative, and educational along with a comfortable, new bus to get us round, video clips on the bus, and excellent commentary by Tony and his family. This combined with excellent pizza and we tried the spumoni, (a treat to die for) all made for a tour to be recommended highly, great use of time in New York, and value for money. | ||||||

EVEN BETTER THE SECOND TIME!

| I've taken the pizza tour before, but this time I took my parents. I told them all about Tony and how much fun they were going to have on the tour. As we boarded the bus, Tony welcomed us and then quickly announced that his Uncle Louie and his cousin Paula were joining us that day. He said that as his company is expanding, he's trying to "keep things in the family". Well we literally felt like a part of the family the entire day as all three of them looked after us. Paula even took over for a part of the tour and did a great job! Uncle Louie is the Italian Uncle everyone should have. As I expected, my folks absolutely loved the tour! They've been telling everyone about it ever since they got off the bus. As for the pizza, what can I say? Grimaldi's is absolutely incredible. As for the second spot, Spumoni Gardens, I have to agree with Tony, "It's like God himself is making the pizza!" Take this tour, you won't be disappointed. | ||||||

| I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about doing a tour of Brooklyn, but it turned out to be the best part of my trip to New York City!! Tony, his Uncle Louie and his cousins did a great job as Brooklyn Ambassadors for the day.. The pizza at Grimaldi's was phenomenal!! The last time I had Neopolitan pizza that good was when I visited Naples, Italy.. The pizza at Spumoni Gardens was also wonderful and reminded me of the type of pizza my Sicilian grandmother used to make.. Make sure you try the spumoni while you're there, too!! I also loved how the movie clips shown on the monitors of the bus were perfectly timed as we pulled up to the actual Brooklyn movie locations.. If you think that Manhattan is all there is when you visit New York City, then you're wrong.. Get yourself over to Brooklyn!! I look forward to taking Tony's neighborhood tour the next time I visit.. | ||||||

Tony and the Brooklyn Tour

| I went on this tour with my friend from San Diego who never visited NYC before. When I asked her what her second favorite thing about her trip to NYC (besides me of course), she said it was the Brooklyn Pizza Tour (and the day before we went to the Sex in the City Tour). Tony was an incredible tour guide with a super friendly demonour and extremely knowledgeable out Brooklyn. We were able to see and walk under the Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO, and Coney Island. Then the best part was eating 2 slices of Margarita Pizza and 2 slices of Sicilian Pizza (with leftovers when the tour was over) from 2 of the best pizza places in NY. I lived in NY my whole life and the Sicilian slices were the best pizza I ever ate! Also we visited the famous Brooklyn Brownstone houses and was shown famous locations, personalities, and general life in Brooklyn. | ||||||

| The Brooklyn Pizza Tour was incredible. Not only did we get to sample some of the best pizza in the New York Area (and avoid the lines!) but we also got a good tour of the local area with knowledgeable guides. Tony and his family gave an excellent tour and I would gladly recommend them to anyone. | ||||||

Great tour of Brooklyn

| Tony, Uncle Lou and Cousin Paula were all great chaperones on a tour that definitily takes you to places you would never think of seeing while in Brooklyn. Seeing the home from the "Goodfellas" movie was a highlight for me. The tour of Coney Island was cool as well. Lots of photo opportunities including DUMBO and the Brooklyn Bridge promenade. The tour van was very comfortable which would be key in the summer months. The only negative I can say is thinking there would be additional pizza parlors we would visit other than the two. BUT even if we did visit others I doubt I would have been able to eat anything more after our visits to the incredible Grimaldi's and L & B Spumoni's. Worth the money (passing the dozens of people in line at Grimaldi's made the money spent worth it alone!) | ||||||

More than a pizza tour

| The Brooklyn slice of pizza tour is more than pizza. It is a slice of Brooklyn's history and some of its neighborhoods. Tony (the tour leader) is Brooklyn born and bred and his love for Brooklyn is evident. The tour includes stops where movie scenes were shot (and Tony shows the scene on the bus tv monitors) along with a stop on Coney Island and a walk on the boardwalk. All in all, this New Orleanian enjoyed it very much. | ||||||
