| We had a great time. Our guide was from Brooklyn so he told us a few family stories. Entertaining....great history of Brooklyn, Pizza's was fantastic. I'm hoping to someday to do the Christmas tour of Brooklyn. I've never been to Brooklyn before this trip and I have to say I was not disappointed! |

| Paula is, as described in other reviews, delightfully mouthy. In fact, I think she should have t-shirts made that say as much. I'd buy that!
The day after the tour, we were visiting with some local friends and told them about all the things we learned. They decided they need to take that tour, too, and they've lived there their whole lives.
As for the pizza, my husband and I are a house divided in our preference. This is a debate that will live for years.
The very best part was skipping that painfully long line at Grimaldi's. Sometimes, it's good to be a tourist. Embrace it and fuhgeddaboutit. |

| The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was absolutely an excellent way to get a wonderful tour of some Brooklyn neighborhoods and sample a couple of famous Brooklyn Pizzas. The itinerary was perfect, the bus was very comfortable and our tour guide, Paula, did an outstanding job of describing the highlights of Brooklyn in a very entertaining and personable way. Paula took a great interest in everyone on the tour and genuinely wanted each of us to have a great experience. Paula is a native of Brooklyn and really brought the history and stories of Brooklyn to life. I am from Chicago, which is also a famous city for fantastic pizza. My conclusion is that there is great pizza in both Chicago and New York and it is impossible to rate one city over the other. Both of these great cities have many different and authentic varieties of pizza.with thousands of pizzareias to choose from. My recommendation is to definitely take the tour. You will have a fun time, especially if Paula leads the tour.

| This was an awesome tour! Our guide Paula was funny and a great host.
Grimaldi's and L&B Spumoni Garden's pizzas were very different but both delicious... Make sure you save room for the 'rainbow spumoni' at L&B - yum!
All in all it's a great tour - we highly recommend it!! |

| This tour was an excellent experience, and I would recommend it to anyone. My wife, and two boys (16 & 18) thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The bus seemed to be brand new, great ac, and our tour guide Paula was very dynamic and interesting. The two pizza stops were great, especially since we didn't wait at all, unlike all of the others standing in line outside the restaurant. The movie clips were lined up with the location of the bus, which made it very interesting throughout the tour. All in all, this tour was the best part of our recent NYC vacation. |

| Wanted to do something different while visiting NYC for a few days. This certainly fit the bill. Never knew Brooklyn could have so much to see.Especially appreciated all the research done on movie clips shown while driving by the locations. Had a great time and spreading the word to friends |

A Must Do Tour to escape Manhatten

| Excellent guide who provided a wealth of information and her vibrant personality made the tour really fun. I found the price a little steep but lunch including pop was provided at the 2 pizza stops so taking that into consideration it wasn't so bad. Plus we were taken right to our tables with waiter service and no lining up. I liked the fact that we weren't on the bus the whole time with stops at the Brooklyn Bridge and Cooney Island. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to escape the hustle of Manhatten for a few hours. I would definately use this company again and am anxious to try their other tours next time I return to NYC. Hassle free pick up and drop off.Tour guide even took the extra time to make sure everyone knew their whereabouts when the tour ended and how to access the public transit. Excellent...very enjoyable afternoon. |

| I really had a great tour with Paula. She is really knowledgeable on the places in Brooklyn. She even took us out in DUMBO's Jacques Torres Chocolate, and Coney Island's Cyclone. The pizzas were amazing. They were amazing, that I bought a box (the deep dish Sicilian pizza). I want to do it again!! =) I'm recommending it to my friends who are visiting NYC. Amazing experience!! =) |
