Only negative - would like to have seen 1 more pizza stop. |

| This was one of the best organized and entertaining tours we have been on, ever. The bus was waiting for us at the appointed time and location. The guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable about the districts we visited and interspersed personal anecdotes with facts about the districts we visited which made the tour all the more interesting. The movie clips shown on the bus' video screens added to significance of the districts we visited. The tour absolutely highlighted the best side of Brooklyn
The Pizzas were delicious and the time (4.5 hours) went by quickly and very enjoyably.
There was a nice mix or driving/touring, walking and eating. |

| 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! |

| If you're a New Yorker, the pizza which is good, will not impress you. But if you're Italian-American or wish you were, this is the tour for you! |

| My daughter and I took this tour for the second time last week. We enjoyed it as much as we did the first time. Last time Tony was our guide and he was great. This time Paula was our guide and she was also great!! This is just a delightful tour and the pizza is wonderful!! Don't forget to get some spumoni at L & B Gardens!! I would recommend this tour to everyone!!!!! |

| Tony does a great job of interacting with the group and treats you like long lost buddies coming by the neighborhood for the first time. His enthusiasm for Brooklyn and its history makes the whole thing come alive. The pizza is great, but unfortunately you have to take the plainest pie--if you are looking for YOUR pizza, you're just gonna have to take a trip to Brooklyn yourself. We had two kids with us and it was a highlight of our New York vacation. Fuggedabout it...enjoy the pies! |

| We are a family of five (3 teens) from the UK and cannot praise this tour enough - we learnt so much and all in an informal way with great company. Suited us hugely and the Pizza, what can we say, bypassing the line at Grimaldis was a pure pleasure. How Sweet it is! This tour has been very professionally put together and includes a great running commentary together with vid clips of the Brooklyn movie scenes that are 'in time' with the drive - superb! I never knew that Brooklyn was home to so much Hollywood.
And such contrast, from Dumbo (Down under the Manhatten Bridge Overpass) very trendy, to Brooklyn Bridge Park, to Grimaldis to L&B's and then to Bay Ridge and finally to Coney Board Walk.
Wow and Golly sums this up in UK speak and I advise, if you are reading my review to book it - you will not be disappointed.

We also enjoyed the sightseeing. Tony was an AWESOME tour guide. He is very passionate about his home and made us passionate as well.
We will go on another of his tours in a heartbeat! Thanks Tony!!!! |

| The title of the tour "A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour" was intriquing, so we signed up for it. We were not disappointed. The tour provided a tour of Brooklyn, Coney Island, famous movie locations, tasty pizza, and an excellent tour guide. What more could you ask for? Tony did an outstanding job of showing off his home town. |
