| I had a wonderful time on The Slice of Brooklyn tour. The pizza was dee-lish-us! Paula, my tour guide was amazing. She was warm, funny, informative and very attentive to everyone. I loved all of the movie tie-ins along the tour. Whether it is your first visit to NYC or your fifth make sure you get out of Manhattan with a Slice of Brooklyn - fuggedabout Times Square!!! |

| After you have absorbed the glitter and lights of Manhattan discover the other New York through the eyes of a local resident in Brooklyn.
Exactly what an overseas visitor is looking for away from the obvious tourist attractions. The tour is built around a focus on two different types of pizza but has so much more.
Paula our guide was passionate, genuinely interested in her charges for the day and very informative.
Very well organised. |

| One of the take-aways I look for in a tour is to figure out the places I'd like to go back to on my own. And this tour definitely presented some great places, and not only the pizza places.
Our tour guide, Paula, was enthusiastic, and more importantly knowledgeable about the neighbourhoods we visited.
A pleasant tour and recommended. |

| Paula was our tour guide and did a very good job describing each area we went through.Proud to be a Brooklynite. During the bus ride at certain points a video was shown from movies from the same area. Saturday Night Fever was a major talking point. Some sort of icon of Brooklyn thing. For me, she might have over selled the pizza. Grimaldi's was a good pizza with an excellent crunchy base, but to me a cheese n tomato pizza is not going to earn any bragging rights as the best pizza in town. Again, same with L & B's, more topping choices are needed. The idea of putting the tomato on top of the cheese is great, normally you can't tell which is cheese or the skin from your lips when you take a bite of the pizza. I was disappointed when after my third piece of pizza I was full. You're eating more bread than actual topping. The only minor, ney, major disappointment ( for me of course ) was during our walk around Coney, Paula never mentioned anything about the best movie ever, The Warriors. The wonder wheel in the opening credits, the train stopping at stillwell ave, the warriors are from coney. Maybe "a slice of brooklyn pizza tour" could be the wrong title. You only stop at 2 places while the most of the tour is talking about Brooklyn. When you go on a pub crawl you go to more than 2 pubs. The funniest moment was before we got to Grimaldi's, Paula said don't look at the people standing in line. You can't help but look. She was right. There's a kind of hatred on their faces when you jump the line. Overall a good four - five hours discription about Brooklyns area and people. |

| Paula introduced us to Brooklyn, as if it were an old friend.
She obviously loves the place, and its contagious.
The pizza was- OK, - not $ 75 worth, but the rest of the tour made up for it.
It would cost that much in cab fares to get to Coney Island and Brighton Beach, and the commentary of each neighbourhood was priceless. |

| This tour should definitely be on your top 10 things to do in New York. After spending a week in the city we were glad to leave all the hard work to someone else. To sit back and enjoy the sights and hear all the local info and history was really enjoyable. Paula, our tour leader was fantastic! (Tony give her a raise!!) This is not just about pizza (which was the best we had eaten), you get to see the real Brookylyn all the little back streets, the schools, the appartment blocks, parks and the mansions. And of course the Brooklyn Bridge and Coney Island. The day we went it was freezing cold but that didn't stop us from getting out of the bus and having a look around. My only complaint was that the day went too quickly. Would love to come back and do another tour. Will recommend to all my friends and family. |

| Tony was filled with passion for Brooklyn. His knowledge and his ability to transfer that knowledge in an intersting way was wonderful. Tony was friendly and fun. Oh, and the pizza was great too! Both stops were tasty, but I preferred Spumoni Gardens. Highly recommend this tour. Kevin was a wonderful driver as well! |

| Our tour guide, Paula, was fantastic! It was great to hear her stories and history of Brooklyn. I learnt and saw a lot more of Brooklyn, which is bigger than I thought, in 4 hours than I could have done by myself, and I got to eat pizza! I would highly recommend this tour! |
