| This is a great tour to discover the different parts of Brooklyn that would otherwise go unoticed on a visit to NYC. Highlights include sights of the Brooklyn Bridge and a walk on the Coney Island Pier. While on the bus, you'll see a number of clips from movies featuring parts of Brooklyn as you're driving past those parts.
Personnally, I would have prefered to get out of the bus more and do a bit more on foot, but of course they need to cater to all types of people.
The pizza on this tour is excellent, although not the best pizza in the world. But I'm happy to agree it's probably the best pizza in the whole of the US!
All in all, I would really like to recommend this tour to other visitors looking for a fun and entertaining way to discover Brooklyn. Do also check out the other tours of this company: they have a tour of the movie highlights (only on Saturday unfortunately) and will propose a Christmas tour to take you past the best decorated houses... sounds like fun!!! |

| We were told about the tour by a travel agent friend of ours. As huge pizza lovers we decided this was the tour for us, and we were not disappointed!
Our tour guide Paula (Tony was unable to take the tour as he was involved in a car accident days before) was great. She was extremely enthusiastic, friendly and made us feel very comfortable.
Amongst other places, she took us to a lovely park under the Brooklyn Bridge - a great photo spot.
We visited 2 pizza restaurants, the second definitely being our favourite.
This was such a fun way to see Brooklyn, far better than the open top bus tours.
I would definitely do the Christmas lights tour if I had the opportunity. |

| This tour was a great value. It was long enough to show us a lot of interesting places in Brooklyn and on the Manhattan side as we started and ended the tour. The bus we travelled in was very nice. The driver would let us off at one of the tour stops and pick us up a long the way-no need for us to walk back. The pizzerias were good. It depends on what you like. Most of us liked the first stop with the coal fired pizza and were so-so on the second stop with the Sicilian style pizza. The tour guides -Tony (very knowledgable) and his cousin were excellent although they could have benefitted from a speaking system and microphone when we were off the bus at some sites. Stand close since the traffic/subway noise can be loud at times, especially near the Brooklyn bridge. All iin all -highly recommended. |

| We had heard 'on the grapevine' that this was a great tour, not just for great food but for the quality of the tour of Brooklyn and the fun had. Interestingly it was not offered by travel agents here (Queensland, Australia) and I had to go on the internet to find out more. I was impressed by the detail on the website and the reviews posted. I booked on line easily and was also impressed by the details given answering all questions commonly asked. The tour was professional, fun, informative, and educational along with a comfortable, new bus to get us round, video clips on the bus, and excellent commentary by Tony and his family. This combined with excellent pizza and we tried the spumoni, (a treat to die for) all made for a tour to be recommended highly, great use of time in New York, and value for money. |

| Tony makes all efforts in order to provide fun to the guests. He teachs us on pizza history but also on Brooklyn: the tour is very well organised: we visited the best places in Brooklyn, including most famous places where movies were made, and learn about Brooklyn history. We ate in two different pizzeria. The bus is very comfortable. Tony has reached his objective: changing the perception of people on Brooklyn.
MANHATTAN? FORGET ABOUT IT!!!!!! |
