| This is a great tour, the pizza at Grimaldi's is amazing and worth the entire tour. You'll enjoy brooklyn as they match up movie scenes with brooklyn sites. Seriously good time. |

| Our host Paula ( I hope that is right) was very fun and informative.
Loved the Pizza stops. Enjoyed the tour of Coney Island and walking on the boardwalk.
The movie clips connected to the real places were fun.
Interesting to hear about the history as well as the changes occuring in the area.
A fun way to check out Brooklyn. |

| I have been on this tour two times now. Both times I had a fabulous time. Tony hosted the first tour I went on a year ago and this last time I went, Paula was the tour guide and she was equally knowledgeable and fun. I do not like tourist attractions and probably why I enjoy this tour so much. You see and go to places you would not find on your own. By the way, besides the great sites,,,,I gotta say, the pizza is remarkable. |

| If you want to see something other than the norm...A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour should be your number 1 choice. Not only do you get GREAT PIZZA but a tour of Brooklyn. Our tour guide "Paula" was SUPER FUN and made the trip exciting. We are Californians and first timers to NYC. When people ask what was my favorite about NY, I say the "PIZZA TOUR" and they think I'm crazy but its the truth. You wont be disappointed!!! GREAT READY FOR AWESOME PIZZA.
Tony (If you are reading) - PAULA was great (probably cause she was a Californian for a bit) maybe you should give her something a little extra for making our tour so amazing and memorable!! :) |

| This is our third time on this tour. We are local in NJ and every time we have friends visiting from out of town we book this tour. Everyone we take also praises the tour. We have had a different tour guide each time and they all do a wonderful job. We had Tony, Maria and this last time Paula. Strongly recommend for folks who like Pizza and want to know all about Brooklyn. Well done. |

| We are local New Yorkers who were interested in doing something "different" for the weekend. This trip got us out of the house for a great 5 hours, touring parts of Brooklyn that we had never, or rarely, been to, and enjoying the best pizza of NY without waiting in line! It was fun, providing a nice, relaxed and casual atmosphere, while offering some interesting tidbits of knowledge.
If you are thinking of checking out Grimaldi's on a stay in NY, then why not do this - it'll save you a line and you'll see more and eat more great pizza than you had planned on!
A couple of things to know: we were drawn to this tour from an article that focused primarily on the main tour guide - a quintessential Italian Brooklynite. However, as the tours have since expanded, there are now more guides - all Brooklynites I believe, but know that they may not be quintessential personality we had originally expected from the article.
Also, don't go if you are expecting to learn deep Brooklyn history, The tour provides great interesting facts and cocktail trivia, but not very much real or notable history.
We had a GREAT time nonetheless and do recommend the trip to anyone who wants to try a "different sort of tour!" |

| We easily located the tour coach, and found the guide, Paula, to be enthusiastic and informative. The first stop, Grimaldi's, was excellent and the pizza was extremely good. I have to say, that the second venue was, in our opinion (and several of the guests we travelled with) not so good. Whilst the atmosphere was pleasant, the food was certainly not outstanding, which could be evidenced by the amount of 'leftovers' (There were no 'leftovers' at Grimaldi's!!!!!!)
As a pizza fan from the UK, I would have preferred a Domino's pizza, to that of the second venue......
This being said, whilst the food is important, it is not the whole, and taking everything into account, I would certainly recommend the tour, although it could prove expensive for a large family!
I would have enjoyed a longer visit to Coney Island, perhaps with a 'Nathan's dog', or a stop off in Brighton Beach in Little Odessa, for a 'mooch' around the shops. |

| As a New Jersey native all I ever hear is "Everything is better in Brooklyn".from Brooklyn transplants. After the tour I do agree that "Almost everything is better in Brooklyn" My 2 teenagers and husband loved the tour. Paula was energetic and funny but most of all real. |

| This tour introduced us to life in New York beyond Manhattan. The pizza, bus, guide, movie clips,and the neighborhood visits were excellent. I would like to go back again. |
