| I had been on a number of tours in New York but none of them matched the Brooklyn Pizza Tour for quality and taste. Our tour guide was as enthusiastic to teach us about Brooklyn as enthusiastic as we were to learn which made for a wonderful tour. I left Brooklyn with a full stomach and a warm heart. Thank you for an experience I shall never forget. |

| Everything was A+ perfect. Our tour guide was outstanding and she made it SO enjoyable and informative. The pizza tastings were superb and the movie clips and Brooklyn history aspects were excellent. This was a FABULOUS tour and we will highly recommend it to our friends and family. Thank you! |

Pizza and tour guide (Paula) were great, but...

| First, let me say that Grimaldi's pizza is fantastic. We didn't care for the Sicilian style as much, but if you like that type of pizza I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Essentially, Grimaldi's is thin crust and Sicilian is a softer, thicker dough. Paula is a great tour guide. She is extremely enthusiastic about her job, and it shows.
My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is because there isn't much to see in Brooklyn. A few movie shots, the bridge, some big houses (no bigger than what you've seen before), a few parks, etc. Nothing mind-blowing. The best part for me was the walk down the boardwalk at Coney Island. I wish we could have spent most of our time there, and maybe take a ride or two.
Kids will probably be bored by most of the sites, and love the pizza.
Again, for us the pizza and Paula were the highlights. Everything else I probably won't be back to visit (with the exception of Coney Island). |

| My daughter and I took this tour for the second time last week. We enjoyed it as much as we did the first time. Last time Tony was our guide and he was great. This time Paula was our guide and she was also great!! This is just a delightful tour and the pizza is wonderful!! Don't forget to get some spumoni at L & B Gardens!! I would recommend this tour to everyone!!!!! |

| Tony does a great job of interacting with the group and treats you like long lost buddies coming by the neighborhood for the first time. His enthusiasm for Brooklyn and its history makes the whole thing come alive. The pizza is great, but unfortunately you have to take the plainest pie--if you are looking for YOUR pizza, you're just gonna have to take a trip to Brooklyn yourself. We had two kids with us and it was a highlight of our New York vacation. Fuggedabout it...enjoy the pies! |

| Our tour guide, Paula, was wonderful. She is very knowledgable about Brooklyn and answered all of our questions while telling great stories and providing local color. We stopped at two pizza places - both were tasty and we had plenty to eat. |

| We are a family of five (3 teens) from the UK and cannot praise this tour enough - we learnt so much and all in an informal way with great company. Suited us hugely and the Pizza, what can we say, bypassing the line at Grimaldis was a pure pleasure. How Sweet it is! This tour has been very professionally put together and includes a great running commentary together with vid clips of the Brooklyn movie scenes that are 'in time' with the drive - superb! I never knew that Brooklyn was home to so much Hollywood.
And such contrast, from Dumbo (Down under the Manhatten Bridge Overpass) very trendy, to Brooklyn Bridge Park, to Grimaldis to L&B's and then to Bay Ridge and finally to Coney Board Walk.
Wow and Golly sums this up in UK speak and I advise, if you are reading my review to book it - you will not be disappointed.

| My son and I heard about your tour on the Australian T.V. Show "Getaway". We enjoyed time touring Brooklyn and the pizzas. We couldn't get over how picturesque the borough is and we were amaised at Coney Island. It was particularly interresting to hear all the intrigue surrounding the place. I couldn't imagine anyone else running the tour than Tony. I intend to contact Chanel 9 here in Australia to thank them for publisising your tour. Contrary to Tony's quote, "Ah! Forget aboud it!" We wont. |
