| This is a great tour to discover the different parts of Brooklyn that would otherwise go unoticed on a visit to NYC. Highlights include sights of the Brooklyn Bridge and a walk on the Coney Island Pier. While on the bus, you'll see a number of clips from movies featuring parts of Brooklyn as you're driving past those parts.
Personnally, I would have prefered to get out of the bus more and do a bit more on foot, but of course they need to cater to all types of people.
The pizza on this tour is excellent, although not the best pizza in the world. But I'm happy to agree it's probably the best pizza in the whole of the US!
All in all, I would really like to recommend this tour to other visitors looking for a fun and entertaining way to discover Brooklyn. Do also check out the other tours of this company: they have a tour of the movie highlights (only on Saturday unfortunately) and will propose a Christmas tour to take you past the best decorated houses... sounds like fun!!! |

| A friend and I took the tour as a fun way to explore Brooklyn and enjoy pizza. The tour was both a lot of fun and educational. We laughed at the movie clips while marveling at being at the exact locations of the clips. This was an enjoyable way to combine history with food. The pizza was plentiful; more than we expected! The optional spumoni was actually our favorite food on the tour. The stop at Jacques Torres' chocolate shop was a delightful and delicious substitution for a walk in a park on a rainy day. The hot chocolate was to die for!
Our guide was enthusiastic, helpful, patient and entertaining. The time flew as we explored Brooklyn's neighborhoods.
I highly recommend this tour! |

| This was a fantatic trip which we would recommend to anyone visiting the city - Tony is funny, charming and full of information about his area and pizza of course! The bus was really comfortable, the other passengers friendly and all in all it was a really fun way to spend an afternoon. It was definately one of the highlights of our one week trip from Ireland. Next time we come back to New York we will 'fugedabout' Manhattan and be heading straight for Brooklyn! |

| Paula, our guide, was energetic and definitely knows her stuff about Brooklyn. She made the best out of the bad weather. The first pizza place was my favorite! You get 4 total slices of pizza between two locations and free soda. I think that the price is a bit much than it should be however it was a fun time. |

| We can't say enough good things about the Brooklyn Pizza Tour! Tony was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable... a real natural great ambassador for Brooklyn. We had never visited this area before but after his tour it will definitely be on our agenda for next year.
Tony, thanks so much for sharing with us the love you have for your hometown. Good luck with your first class tour. We have already recommended it to the others that were in our group.

P.S. The pizza was delicious as well! |

| There's nothing quite like it, and this tour gives you the absolute best of each style. The world-famous thin crust from Grimaldi's, and the sweet, robust flavor of L&B's Sicilian. This tour proved to me me what I sorely miss when it comes to pizza and living in Boston. There is nothing here that compares.
The tour itself was great, the tour guide was very interesting and informative, and the movie clips were an excellent touch. I guess I never realized just how big and diverse Brooklyn really is. I'd highly recommend this service to anyone, defintely worth taking the trip across the bridge from Manhattan for an afternoon.
I'd definitely consider taking the mobster tour from this same company as well, looking forward to it! |

| Unfortunately Tony had flu so the Pizza tour we had planned was cancelled.
Our money was refunded imediately and Tony called us at our hotel personnaly to apologise. Although we were disappointed it gives us a great excuse to return to New York when we will definately rebook! |
