| Our tour guide Paula was excellent. She knew her history, was friendly and answered questions asked. If I would take friends or family on this tour I would only go if Paula was the tour guide. We enjoyed the pizza, my favorite was the L&B Spumoni pizza. All of us would vote that Paula be made the tour guide for this tour. We enjoyed seeing and learning about the things included.
We would certainly recommend this tour. Paula made it interesting and fun. |

| I've always wanted to see Brooklyn in greater detail, but I never desired driving though it myself. When I heard about this tour, I thought it would be perfect and it was. Maria, our tour guide, was full of information, and Danny, our driver, was so calm, cool, and collected on the roads that we forgot we were in a metropolitan area.. Whether you are interested in history, Italian-American culture, pop culture, or plain old sight-seeing, there was something for everyone. The stops at two very different pizza places kept everyone happy along the way. Plus, there were several stops along the way where we could all stretch our legs, snap some pictures, and take it all in. It was a well-balanced tour with the not too much of any one thing, but just enough of all the right ingredients (likewise for the pizza!) Thank you! |

| Appreciated the vegan accommodation. Guide and driver were excellent. Was expecting to see Park Slope area. Maybe it can be added in future trips. |

| I had read about the slice of Brooklyn Pizza tour online on trip advisor. After reading the reviews on here I thought I sounded like a great way to learn about pizza and sightsee.
Paula was our great host on this trip and i found her to be very knowledgable and funny.
The best thing about the tour was being able to bypass the line of people waiting for pizza and head straight to your table reserved for you.
As you travelled along Paula told you about the history you were passing and showed video clips from movies that were filmed there.
Along the way you were able to get off the bus and take photos.
The day we took the tour was a very cold day so it was a great way to spend the day on a bus and eating pizza in warm pizza places.
This tour is a great way to see Brooklyn. |

| My wife and I had a great time. Paula did a great job although I would have preferred Tony as the tour guide as his Italian authenticity is what I was expecting.
Overall The pizza and the tour of Brooklyn was great. I would have never experienced the history and all the celebrities that came from Brooklyn if it wasn't for this tour.
I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends and I am looking forward to the new Mob Tour when I return to New York.
2 Thumbs up!!!!

| We especially enjoyed the thin crust pizza from Grimaldi's at the beginning of the tour. Touring all the different neighborhoods of Brooklyn was interesting and the tour guide Paula provided excellent and informative commentary. |

| Paula was our tour guide on this slushy, cold, winter day. It was a small group but she made us all feel at home. She was very knowledgable and the driver Danny had everything timed just right as she was talking about a specific topic he would be driving by. Paula also threw in some personal stories that really made the tour feel like you might just be stopping by to see mom. We had a blast and will highly recommend this tour. Oh, and the pizza was amazing - the bus was split 50/50 on which place they liked better. We did not eat dinner that night!!!! |

| Pizza and tour was very good. Our tour guide, Paula, was very good too. However, I thought the trip was slightly overpriced. You were limited to how much pizza you could eat and I felt somwhat rushed out of the restaurants. |

| The tour was well organized, on time & fun. The only bad thing is that the weather
was terrible for sightseeing -in or out of the mini-bus. If only the windows would have
de-fogged better. Paula (our guide) however was not to be defeated and carried on
enthusiastically. Danny, the driver navigated the slippery roads like a pro. Walking
thru 4" of snow on Coney Islands board walk would not be something I'd do again,
great pictures though. The pizza at both locations was as good as it gets, and there
plenty to eat- and leftover. She said at the beginning that a large group had cancelled
so the only thing I wonder is if there would have been the same amount of pizza,
which would have stretched it thin. Overall a solid "10" with a 5 handicap for the
snow. |
