Super Tour

My husband and I did the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza tour last weekend and we cannot say enough good things about it. What a pleasant surprise - not only did we get to eat the best pizza ever - we learned more about Brooklyn then we expected. Tony is just fantastic. He takes pride in Brooklyn and I am glad we had the opportunity to share in his enthusiasm!

Great way to discover Brooklyn!!

What a great day and fun way to learn about Brooklyn. As long time visitors to Manhatten, we never made it to Brooklyn. This time, we wanted to change that. Tony made the tour -- informed, colorful, funny and genuinely in love with Brooklyn. His musical and movie clips added to the color. The pizza was great (I liked the thin the best!!) and the overview of the borough was outstanding. Highly recommend the tour -- for adults and kids of all ages.

Great combo -- good pizza & great slice of NYC
Sat, Dec 29, 07   11:00 AM Janier Female Unspecified Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We saw the story about the tour on the Today show and it lived up to expectations. The tour was lively, a good balance of history, 'fun facts', genuine passion and impressive knowledge of Brooklyn by the owner/guide. The movie clips were exceptionally well done with the timing of the movie clip right at the exact spot we were seeing as the coach went by. The views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline were terrific as was the insight into the many neighborhoods and cultures of Brooklyn. My sister is a particularly choosy pizza lover and we liked the places we visited (authentic experiences and good pizza in both places) but Brooklyn style did not displace our very favorite place at the Jersey shore. The organization at the restaurants was excellent. The bus was comfortable and the on/off the bus was not overdone. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get out of Manhattan for a fun excursion/diversion and would take another tour with this company.

One of the best NY tours
Sat, Dec 29, 07   11:00 AM GeneFRak Male 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
THis was a great tour with Tony as our guide. WE had two teengaers that thought it was awesome as did we. Well worth the time and money. We are looking forward to other tours of brooklyn under development. Also, would have liked to but a t-shirt but they ran out of large sizes before we could get one. So we had to FORGETBOUTIT!

Loved it!

My husband and I (from South Carolina) celebrated our anniversary in NY City (where we were married) for the third year in a row in December. We have taken several NY tours, but A Slice of Brooklyn was definitely my favorite. Tony is fantastic and has found his calling. The information he provided was so interesting and had a personal touch. From the views of the Brooklyn Bridge , through the various eclectic neighborhoods, to the trip to Coney Island - it was all terrific. The movie info and movie clips added so much... especially for movie fans. Oh, and ... by the way.... the PIZZA was so much fun. And delicious. Loved both Grimaldi's and L and B. Enjoyed my first spumoni! We have already discussed taking the neighborhood tour and the new gangster tour when it becomes available, so PLEASE keep us on the email list! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to grab a taste of life outside of Manhattan. Plus, I think it is a bargain. Thanks so much Tony for a great afternoon! T. Norris

A Tour To Take
Fri, Dec 28, 07   11:00 AM BarbBoop53 Female 50-59 Combination Family With Children
I am a former Brooklynette. I have been gone from Brooklyn since early teens. This tour was wonderful idea that Tony had and it is a great tour for anyone interested in seeing another side of NY and another area. The Pizza is terrific and the rest of tour great. Getting taken back to Coney Island for me was great. Many old memories and now new. Tony has done his homework for a most enjoyable day. When the tour is over you do not feel like you had done to much except have a great day with family or friends. My family would highly recommend this tour. We are eagerly awaiting hearing from Tony on any new tours and will probably take pizza tour again sometime. Our Thanks to Tony and Zerve we will tour with Tony again. Try the Spumoni also. Thanks for a great day.

Tony's A Slice Of Brooklyn tour is without a doubt, one of the best, most informative,truly entertaining, and delicious tours I've ever been on. Tony's knowledge of his subject, and sincerity , and sense of humor, make it a must-do!! I'll recommend it to anyone visiting New York City!! Frank Capaldi Pittsburgh, Pa.

Fabulous!!!!

What a wonderful time we all had. Tony is not only full of little known facts & interesting information, he is beyond warm & hilarious! I first heard of this tour on the Today Show & thought it would be something different for our annual trip to NYC. My husband was not as convinced as I was. About 5 minutes into the tour he was sold. Our children-ages 16, 13, and 5-were entertained the entire 4 1/2 hours. The meeting point was easy to find. Tony was punctual and the bus was top of the line. The points of interest were chosen well. Tony's attention to detail is amazing (the video clips could not be timed more perfectly). And, of course, the pizza was to die for.

Well planned,educational & entertaining.

Tour Director and driver were well qualified. The director had an indepth knowledge of Brooklyn and it's citizens. Tony made history fun and was full of life. Should consider a tour map of Brooklyn to assist in the understanding of places visited.

Goodness and Light
Sat, Dec 22, 07   7:00 PM khassall Unspecified Unspecified Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The lights are astonishing for exuberance and profusion. Winter-bare trees with every branch wrapped in light are hung with lighted ornaments. At some homes every shrub, every tree in the yard, every step, every door, every window, rail, ledge, bench on the porch--everything capable of supporting a light is lit. All this light is reflected, and answered, in the faces of grown-ups as well as children. Tony Muia, whose invention this tour is, is its soul and its greatest asset, a man remarkable for kindness, apparently unflappable good humor, and active concern for all those in his charge.

Bedazzled and mind-boggling
Sat, Dec 22, 07   7:00 PM k0466u Female 40-49 Local Individual
Heard about people in Dyker Heights really going over the top about the Christmas lights, and the story was true. It was definitely an illuminating experience in every sense of the word. The night the tour took place was relatively mild, and as a bonus, we even got to hear the church members singing carols in Bay Ridge area. Tony was considerate enough to include the restroom stop prior to going to Dyker Heights, which was very much appreciated by several people. Because 2 people from the group went MIA in Dyker Heights, the time spent at a cafe was a bit rushed and the tour ended later than expected. If this tour was not back to back with the pizza tour earlier in the day, I would recommend it to start earlier than 7:00pm - but the logistic may be a problem. I wouldn't have minded if the pizza-to-go was included as a part of this tour with an additional fee. The timing of the tour made it a bit difficult to find a time for a bite beforehand. The Christmas tree at the Rockfeller Center is fine to look at, but this tour is something else altogether, both for the locals and the visitors.

Great fun!

The lights we saw were truly excellent, as over-the-top as I anticipated. As Greeks, we would have appreciated a stop at the Greek's home, but we had a blast. The Christmas music on the bus was an excellent touch also. They were songs that actually haven't been played to death over the years!

Tony was great. His audio/visuals were real plus. The pizza was wonderful. The bus was comfortable. Could not have asked for more.
