| 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! |

We will be back!

| 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! |

| We were very sorry to see that this tour was cancelled, it really sounded like it would be fun. Joe was very good about leaving a message at our home and followed thruough with contacting us at our hotel in new york city to advise us the tour was cancelled due to health reasons.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Looking forward to our next trip to Metroplois,
hopefullly taking this tour. |

| Tony was great in providing an enjoyable tour without a dull moment. The stops at the pizza restaurants were the perfect compliment to the experiences of Brooklyn. And the fact that the pizza was built into the ticket price just made this an even better value. It really makes a difference to havea tour guide who is passionate about the town in which he was raised. Thanks again Tony for the great tour. |

| The tour was well organized, on time & fun. The only bad thing is that the weather
was terrible for sightseeing -in or out of the mini-bus. If only the windows would have
de-fogged better. Paula (our guide) however was not to be defeated and carried on
enthusiastically. Danny, the driver navigated the slippery roads like a pro. Walking
thru 4" of snow on Coney Islands board walk would not be something I'd do again,
great pictures though. The pizza at both locations was as good as it gets, and there
plenty to eat- and leftover. She said at the beginning that a large group had cancelled
so the only thing I wonder is if there would have been the same amount of pizza,
which would have stretched it thin. Overall a solid "10" with a 5 handicap for the
snow. |

| We visit NYC once a year and have done all the tourist activities. We always look for something unique to experience. The Brooklyn Pizza Tour is the best thing we have done. The chance to expand beyond Manhattan and learn about Brooklyn was fun and interesting. The pizza is scrumptous! Trying two different styles of pizza was wonderful. I wondered if we would just get a sample or if we would really get some pizza. We got plenty of pizza--I was full and enjoyed every bite. The tour was informative and interesting. Our guide, Paula, was fun, personable, knowledgeable, witty, and enthusiastic about the pizza and Brooklyn. The nice bus and the use of video clips and music was better than I expected. This is a great thing to do!!! |

| Tony was an excellent host and shared his knowledge with enthusiasm. He provided a great deal of knowledge and really made the tour into a great event.
I will recommend this tour to any friends traveling in the area. It is absolutely worth the money. |

| Know nothing about Brooklyn other than how to spell it? Then this tour will change that. Enjoy a good pizza and convinced your hometown favorite is the best? Then this tour will change your mind. Seen lots of movies and wondered just where in NYC they were filmed? Gotta be Brooklyn and you'll be there and watch them at the same time. We Americans have all heard of Coney Island but who'd have thought the Boardwalk was so large and could be so crowded on a sunny Memorial Day weekend. This tour is such fun - your guide is from Brooklyn and loves sharing it with his customers. Bring your appetite!! |

| Great tour. Tony is a great host and guide. 4 1/2 hours is a long time but worth it . Two tips: 1. make sure you are not tired when it starts 2. you won't need dinner resrvations for that evening - a light snack will do. |
