| This tour was a great way to experience Brooklyn and learn many "Did you know facts" about this great borough of New York City. If you're short on time in your visit to NYC, this tour is great for visiting Brooklyn and experiencing its tasty pizza!! Paula, our tour guide was great! She was enthusiastic and made the tour worth while!!! |

| 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. |

| Loved it, loved it, loved it!!! My 2 friends and I had a fantastic day on the "A Slice of Brooklyn" tour. Our tour guide Paula was fabulous and kept everyone entertained for the whole day. The pizzas at Grimaldis with their simple toppings were divine and I would happily join the queue to taste them again!! Brooklyn was fascinating to hear about and to see and I really got a kick out of Coney Island. I just hope some money gets put into restoring such an iconic place and they bring back the face of Coney Island!!! I would recommend this tour to everyone!!! |

| I read about the tour in Fromer's guide, but was categorised immediately as having heard about the tour on a travel show. Did not bode well.
The tour was not about pizza but about Brooklyn. There were statements about the pizza being the best in the world. A quick trip to Italy will prove otherwise. The host was informative and there was a real push to show Brooklyn. Nice enough but this was a pizza tour and there were only two pizza places to experience the "pies".
The tour was typical of the perception that America has the best - best food (see the rest of the world and reality will sink in), best bridge (again see the rest of world).
So be weary of the tendency in a typical American way to assume that the pizza's in Brooklyn are the best and that Brooklyn is the best borough and have a laugh at the plastic palm tree sitting all alone on Coney Island beach. |

| This was a great tour. Lots of information was provided and we were driven around all the sights of Brooklyn. Tony was very funny and had a story to tell of everywhere we went. You get to see a lot of the brooklyn you have heard of over the years including Coney Island, Brooklyn suburbs, Brooklyn bridge and the EL. I would recommend it to people of any age. |

| WOW! What a great day out.
This was a great insight into Brooklyn, Tony was a great source of information and the whole day was a lot of fun .
The pizzas how good are they!.
Sensational.
The other tours in New York "Forget about it".
We came all the way from Sydney Australia and enjoyed every minute.
