| Our group of six family members and friends (female, ages 40-65) really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, professional and FUN! She entertained us for 4.5 hours and we're so glad we chose this event. The tour bus was SO comfortable and nice and the Pizza was really good! They took us to areas we would not have seen if we had missed this. Loved the connections shown in the video clips. |

| We really enjoyed this tour. The only thing we had to say was the pizza was delicious
but it was served too close to each other. I expect to come back to this tour with my
husband in July. That's how much I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed seeing the expensive
part of N.Y. City that I was surprised to see and also Coney Island, which I have been
anxious to see for years. I was great to see Brooklyn, because I know I would never have seen it no matter how many times I came to the city. So we thoroughly enjoyed
the whole tour. |

| The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was a lot of fun for my family, our friends, and me. We were so excited to be part of this experience since we tried to get into Grimaldi's on another NYC/Brooklyn trip in mid-September and were unable to make it in to try their famous pizza. Both pizza stops were amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 different types of pizzas and wish I had some with me right now to enjoy! The bus was very comfortable (and warm sicne it was freezing outside), the driver was great, and our tour guide, Paula, was FUNtastic! The tour was so well planned and thought out that the actual video was synchronized to go with the verbal details Paula shared as we were driving through various neighborhoods. We loved it so much that we may consider one of the other tours that are offered. We love Brooklyn! |

| Our group wanted to see Brooklyn - each person for various reasons. Our ages ranged from 35 to 83 consisting of one native, one local, one wannabe, and two that had never been. Instead of hiring or renting a car, trying to find parking (good luck), taking a cab or the subway, we opted for this tour - the BEST decision! Not only was the 'za great (both locations) but we got an "insider's" take on Brooklyn. Paula was an attentive, interesting and entertaining guide. Initially, we were disappointed that Tony was not our guide that day - but Paula came through with flying colors! We were rewarded with a taste of Brooklyn's neighborhoods and the tour was spiced up with film clips played on multiple screens as we were at each movie's shooting location. After five days in New York we all agreed that this one one of the highlights of our visit. If you aren't sure this is the way to see Brooklyn, whether for the first time or not, book the tour - you won't regret it! The photo Paula took of our group with the Brooklyn Bridge behind us ending up being one of our best pictures! Thanks Tony & Paula! |

| We visit NYC once a year and have done all the tourist activities. We always look for something unique to experience. The Brooklyn Pizza Tour is the best thing we have done. The chance to expand beyond Manhattan and learn about Brooklyn was fun and interesting. The pizza is scrumptous! Trying two different styles of pizza was wonderful. I wondered if we would just get a sample or if we would really get some pizza. We got plenty of pizza--I was full and enjoyed every bite. The tour was informative and interesting. Our guide, Paula, was fun, personable, knowledgeable, witty, and enthusiastic about the pizza and Brooklyn. The nice bus and the use of video clips and music was better than I expected. This is a great thing to do!!! |

| I found the tour to be informative and interesting over all. We did however only eat at 2 pizza places, which makes the title of the tour slightly misleading. By this I mean that I expected visits to a few more pizza sights given that the name of the tour gives the impression that touring pizza places would be the focus of the tour. The 2 places we did visit did have very good pizza though. Other than that, it was a very interesting tour. I learnt alot about BK, and saw many interesting aspects of the Borough. I intend to go again with some other friends, not so much for the pizza (as this wasnt really the main feature) but more for the insight gained. So, if you are looking for a good tour of a Borough, and not necessarily a pizza eating escapade, this is the tour to go on! |

| Lead by Paula, she was knowledgeable, personable and just loved her Brooklyn. As a tall person the seats were quite comfortable and there were enough stops to avoid feeling too closed in.
Did not expect the historical end of the trip and that made it that much more enjoyable. Was thrilled that it just wasn't about Pizza. Went to my exercise swim class on Monday and raved about it a few people then asked me how and where to sign up. So yes it is highly recommended. Thanks for a great time. |

| I come from SI, and I have to tell you that this tour was great! I've been to Brooklyn countless times but never realized the charm this little boro has! And the pizza! Best I've ever had! The Tour Narrator Maria did an excellent job keeping you involved and explaining everything so enthusiastically! And who could forget Uncle Louie! By the end of the tour you felt like you were a part of their family! I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting NYC and even for those who are from Brooklyn and nearby! |
