| Tour bus was new, clean & comfortable. Tony, the guide, was knowledgeable and entertaining. Both types of pizza were great, but each person on the tour had their favorite. |

Absolutely do it!!!

| My wife and I went on this tour sinc it was too cold and frigid in NYC.... this was the best money spent. The pizza is great....cream soda was th cherry on the cake! Paula our guide was very helpful, friendly and knowldgable. This is one tour I think everyone should take. It gves a great prespective of Brooklyn that has changed my life! |

| Our coach was brand new which impressed us.
Seeing the film clips on the VDU`s whilst passing the locations was great fun especially if you had seen the flims.
Exploring a different borough from Manhattan gave us a better over view of NYC.
Having a local so obviously enthusiastic about her topic as a guide made for an entertaining commentary.She had just the right blend of being informative and witty and willing to talk about anything you wanted to.Full marks to Paula.
We did think the cost was a little high (compare to $15 for Crown tour on Liberty Island,Ellis Island including ferrys) but realise the two pizza restaurants probably don`t need the extra business so have to be well paid particularly in view of us queue jumping.
Our "children" are both in their twenties. |

| Very fun - guide Tony very customer oriented, clever and amusing. Would have liked to know more about unmentioned areas of Brooklyn - Park Slope, Williamsburg, Prospect Park.
Overall a 7 out of 10 on fun things to do in NYC. |

| Paula was wonderful: very enthusiastic, a huge supporter of Brooklyn and great fun. The tour was very detailed, very interesting, with great local insights, took us to places more than a little "out of the way", the movie scene overplay was great fun, and especially for Saturday Nght Live fans!!!
The pizza places were great fun.
For all that, though, we're not especially in love with Brooklyn!
All the best, The FInchs |

| We wanted to see some of the neighborhoods- hear some of the myths and legends- and eat some pizza and that's exactly what we got!!! Paula was absolutely great- her knowledge, enthusiasm, passion and love of Brooklyn were obvious! She is a great ambassador for the company and Brooklyn. Definitely something I've recommended to others and look forward to doing some of the other jaunts! |

This tour offers so much more than pizza!

| We loved this tour! We were expecting to be driven around Brooklyn, told a little history about the area and eat some pizza, but the tour was so much more than that!
The bus they took us in was very nice and comfortable. The tour guide frequently asked if everyone was hot/cold/ect and adjusted the heat accordingly.
One of the best parts of the tour was the movie clips. Throughout the trip different movie clips would play on individual tv screens. These were clips from all types of movies that were shot in or featured Brooklyn. Many clips played at the same time the bus drove by the exact location where the film was shot. It was really fun to follow John Travolta's walk from the beginning of the movie 'Saturday Night Fever'.
The tour guide was born in Brooklyn and had extensive knowledge about the city. She was very animated and always had a smile.
The pizza joints were amazing and you get a lot of food at each stop.
I love that this is a family business and I would recommend this tour to everyone! |

| Unfortunately, due to my wife's illness, we were unable to attend. We were visiting NYC from Arizona. Paula and I played "phone-tag" and were unable to speak the morning of the tour. In this day and age of extreme flu, especially in winter months, a bit of courtesy and understanding would have been appreciated so that we could have re-scheduled for a future visit instead of forfeiting $150 due to our inability to attend. We were looking forward to the tour and am disappointed that we could not attend. We were unsure up to the morning of the tour of my wife's ability to travel and could not have advised any sooner.
I will not consider any tour in the future that has such rigid cancellation policies, especially in light of the current health crisis that we all have to be aware of. |
