| 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. |

| I can't count how many people I have already recommened this tour to. This is an excellent tour for locals or tourists, a couple on a date, a family, or senior citizens, and for anyone who loves pizza and history. I live in New York and I had four elderly relatives coming to visit. Out of all the touristy activities we did, this was the one they talked the most about. The pizza was so delicious, we learned so much about the history of Brooklyn and pizza, and the tour guide was very entertaining. I can't wait to take my friends on this tour. |

| The entire tour was a lot of fun. Even though it was rainy, the tour guide did a fantastic job giving us information on Brooklyn, background on the pizzarias, etc. The directions were easy to follow and I found the bus easily. When possible, we were able to get off the bus and take really great pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge. Paula was a great tour guide and kept everyone is high spirits (which was helpful due to the bad weather). The pizzarias were great and we got the best seats in the house! The food was really good as well. Paula was very attentive and made sure everyone was comfortable. I read the reviews for this tour before I signed up and enjoyed the information that was provided so I decided to sign up for it. I wasn't dissapointed when I was on the tour, all the reviews were correct when it stated that this was the best pizza tour. This was my first time in Brooklyn and I plan on returning to see the sites again. Thanks again Paula for being a great tour guide and thanks for your family for providing this tour. I truly enjoyed it. |

| The Pizza tour turned out to be so much better than I had anticipated.Myself and my three sons, all over 21 ,had a fantastic day (despite of the miserable weather).
Paula was a great tour guide extremely welcoming and had a great love for Brooklyn.
The restaurants we visited were suberb,perfect locations for such a themed tour.My 'children' really enjoyed all the movie references within Brooklyn.
All in all it was a great way to spend 4and a half hours.
I would highly reccomend it to friends and family. |
