A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour

The tour was amazing. It was a particularly rainy day but Paula the tour guide was like a ray of sunshine. She was enthusiastic, full of interesting facts and really engaging. The pizza was amazing - no toppings necessary. Pizza was served with soda however Paula kindly organised hot tea for us at L&B which was brought to our table with no hassle. Try the Spumoni vanilla ice cream its a must! I will definitely spend a day in Brooklyn on my next trip to New York. Disappointed that one of the reviews written by an individual on the same tour as us commented that "noone liked the pizza" this is so unfair and should be treated as one individuals taste which should not have been written as the majority view Testament of how good it was - after eating as much as you wanted some people then took some home. The only downside was that the 4 hours went in too quick!!

Tony has a passion for Brooklyn, its history and wants to share this with everyone. This was a terrific tour and I have already recommended it to family and colleagues. The tour is fun and Tony makes it very friendly. The best pizza in two different places. I would take this tour again just to share ithe experience with a friend.

TOUR GUIDE PAULA WAS A DELIGHT FROM HER KNOWLEDGE TO HER ATTITUDE TO HER BROOKLYN ACCENT.THE PIZZA WASN'T HALF BAD EITHER!VERY COMFORTABLE BUS,NICE TO HAVE A DRIVER DEAL WITH THAT NYC TRAFFIC FOR ME

Paula who is a cousin of the owner was our guide and we had a very large group with a regular size bus but Paula was attentive to all of us.Guides make the tour and she was fantastic. She knew and you could tell loved Brooklyn interjected many side bars that were great. The pizza was fantastic although our group preferred Grimaldi because we are thin crust pizza lovers. Still like the other but not sure if liked the sauce on top . Their spumoni was wonderful...recommend the chocolate. Got a great snap shot of Brooklyn it's history, celebs, movies made there and made us want to come back for another trip. Wish we had a little more time at Coney Island we all would love to have gone on the Beach. We all felt this gave us a better prospective of Brooklyn and it really is a beautiful area. We will be back and if you can get Paula you will be very lucky but I would think all the guides would be fun. A must on your list of things to do if you are in NYC.

As we were staying a full week in New York we decided we would like to see another borough and this tour more than satisfied this wish. Paula was a good tour guide with a real passion and enthusiasm for her home borough. We stopped at two places for two very different types of pizza. First was Grimaldi's where we went straight in bypassing those already waiting in line and were served the typical thin crust Italian pizza which was absolutely delicious. We got great views of the bridge from the Brooklyn Bridge Park which is an oasis of calm. We then get a tour of the borough and the multi-million dollar houses of Bay Ridge change our opinion of this area, which were probably formed by watching too many mob movies. However, we loved the fact that lots of movies were shot here including Saturday Night Fever and the French Connection we would never have seen these places had it not been for this tour. We then had pizza at L & B Spumoni Gardens. I have to say that I have never tasted pizza like it - again delicious but so very different in texture to what we had at Grimaldi's. We also taste the spumoni ice-cream again very different to anything I have had before. We finally get to walk on the Coney Island Boardwalk. Alas the Cyclone is not open so we didn't get a chance to go on it. The weather was fabulous and very hot and as it was after the holidays the beach was almost empty but what a fabulous beach and view over to Rockaway. This tour shows Brooklyn at its best - do not miss your chance to see it.

The tour came highly recommended so as frequent visitors to NYC we decided to give it a try. What an amazing day! See the new Brooklyn Bridge park development, cut in line at Grimaldi's Pizza (don't smirk at the queue, they might get violent..), see some amazing Brooklyn sights and finish up at Coney Island. Too much food and too much fun. HIGHLY RECOMMEND :)

Enjoyed the tour and the pizza

My husband and I and our children 17 & 18 thoroughlly enjoyed our tour. We were met in Manhattan by the bubbly Paula and she kept us entertained all day. Paula had lots of knowlege about Brooklyn, its history, people and places and amused us all day with lots of personal anecdotes as well. There was plenty to eat and drink at both stops and no time wasted in waiting for the fresh, hot pizza to arrive. Anybody travelling to New York should do this tour as there is alot more to New York than Manhattan!

I never thought that a tour of Brooklyn could be enlightening and fun at the same time. I will definitely do it again. Went with my sister this time but will give this as a gift for my husband and will join him as well.

Our tour guide, Paula was wonderful! Very in tune with her surroundings. I learned alot about the history of Brooklyn and would love to someday come back with my husband THUMBS up Paula! The driver was also great! The way he was able to drive right to a spot where a famous movie was made a be right at the exact veiw in the film! Excellant job you two! Thank you for making my experience fabulous :) I would recommend this to anyone and will!
