| My wife, son and I took the Slice of Brooklyn tour on Saturday 2/21/2009. Due to a flight issue, a large group never mde it, so there ended up being only seven of us on the bus. Maria was our tour guide; she comes directly from italy (Bologna, I think).
She is an actress by profession, and her ease of speaking was evident. She did an outstanding job showing us everything on the tour, and she was able to field a wide array of questions from us tourists!
The pizze at Grimaldi's and L&B was excellent, of course. My wife bought some spumoni at L&B for the ride back to Manhattan, and it was excellent too.
We would...and already have...recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a nice overview of Brooklyn, something I really enjoyed. |

| Some people come to New York without ever leaving Manhattan, I am so glad we took the opportunity to leave the island and take the slice of Brooklyn tour. It was without a shadow of a doubt the best tour we took during our stay, Tony was an amazing guide with a great enthusiasm for his home area and his job. I learnt so much during the day and got to see and head about areas I wouldn't have visited.
Thank you for opening my eyes to a different side of NY and when I come to NYC again I will be signing up for the Mafia tour!
He has a slice of the market that no-one has corned yet! And the Pizza was amazing too!
I will be recommending this tour to all of my friends and anyone else I find out is going to New York! |

| My wife and I decided to do something different for Valentine's Day so we signed up for the Pizza Tour. Our guide(s) Paula and Tony were excellent hosts and taught us so much we did not know about our beloved Brooklyn. The pizza was delish & the knowledge was even tastier.
Recommended for anyone & everyone who has a keen desire to eat pie and learn a little about new york's favorite borough. |

| Worth every penny - bus was clean, food was great, and Paula the tour guide was personable and knew what she was talking about. The best recommendation is that my wife and I are Brooklyn natives and we didn't even know some of the places and spots on the tour. Highly recommended! |

| The bus tour was a great way to see as much as possible of Brooklyn. Paula was very informative and personable. The pizza at both locations was excellent. We don't see how anyone would be disappointed by this tour. |

| My wife and I had the pleasure of going on this tour on 23rd January 2009 and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to see something different when visiting New York - and who want to be fed as part of it!
Our guide Paula was superb, her enthusiasm and knowledge was excellent and coupled with the numerous stops where she provided more info and and the clips of famous movie scenes filmed in Brooklyn made it a very well rounded tour packed full of information. As a big Saturday Night Fever fan it was fab to see the actual street from the first scene in the movie.
Oh yeah, the pizza was great to! The first stop was for thin crust pizza with a bottle of brooklyn soda - go for the black cherry flavour. Delicious! The second pizza stop was my personal favourite as it was unlike any slice of pizza I have ever had - lovely fluffy dough base and a delicious tomato sauce.
All in all I have to say we were both extremely pleased with the tour, we've been lucky enough to visit the city a few times but never ventured to Brooklyn, I'm glad i saw it with the Slice of Brooklyn tour. Even if you don't like pizza, the tour is worth it just for the views looking back over the Manhattan skyline.
Add it to your itinerary when on a visit - you wont be disappointed. |

| Our expectations prior to the tour were high, based on the comments of others, and we were not disappointed. Our tour guide, Paula, was superb (knowledgeable and bursting with enthusiasm), and the highlights of the tour, in terms of sites, were very well chosen. Moreover, the central theme - that is, pizza - similarly lived up to high expectations, and the eating was at a relaxed tempo despite the frenzy of the restaurants. As one would guess, consequently, the tour gets my highest recommendation. The four and 1/2 hours goes by very rapidly. |
