| Our tour guide (Paula) was very enthusiastic and knowledgable about Brookline making it a very entertaining day. The pizza was delicious too! We would highly recommend the tour to all those visiting New York City. |

| i highly recommend this tour to any one who wants to experience the heart of new york and it's rich and diverse cultures. Our tour guide was an adorable Brookllynite, as she referred herself to be, besides a "pizza/bagel" (jewish and italian). having grown up in the city, she was full of wonderful historical facts and personal stories of her experiences, which was quite charming.
The Pizza, or Pie, as referred to by the locals, was sinfully delicious. we also had the opportunity to not only have a taste, but extra slices. both sites were very generous with the pizza. amazing! i can't ever eat pizza again other than in NY and Brooklyn.
i highly recommend this tour, as i plan on returning to NY and would happily revisit the Brooklyn pizza tour, with Paola, of course, who has a spark and real love for her town. |

| My husband and son do not like to take tours, but I talked them into this one. I am sure glad I did. We all had a blast with Tony. We really enjoyed getting out and walking the different areas. The pizza was delicous. My son lives in Brooklyn and he also learned a lot of new stuff about the different boroughs. I enjoyed the movie clips. Next time we are in the city we will consider taking one of the other tours that Tony offers. |

| Wow! What a great way to experience Brooklyn! Not your typical "look to the left, look to the right" type tour guide. (I've forgotten his name) was raised in Brooklyn so he knows this borough forward and backwards and brings to life the different areas, history and tastes of Brooklyn. It was fun, informative and organized very well, but not in a regimented way. Lots of opportunities to take pictures, walk the Coney Island Boardwalk, taste the delightful pizza and just enjoy the very pleasant day.
I intend to recommend this tour to anyone I know who will be visiting NY!! |

| Tony was filled with passion for Brooklyn. His knowledge and his ability to transfer that knowledge in an intersting way was wonderful. Tony was friendly and fun. Oh, and the pizza was great too! Both stops were tasty, but I preferred Spumoni Gardens. Highly recommend this tour. Kevin was a wonderful driver as well! |

| We thought there would be more pizza. Apparently one of the places was burned and temporarily out of business, but something might have been substituted...
I would recommend that a local, quickie map be provided of Brooklyn that is in sync with the points of interest. Since different tour guides (we had Paula, a kick) have different points of interest there would be extra, but that's okay -- it would be a good reason for folks to take the tour again.
We really did enjoy it -- well done and good luck getting into your house in Bay
Ridge, Paula. |

| A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza tour was a great way to see and learn about Brooklyn, while getting a chance to eat some excellent pizza with people from around the world. Our tour guide, Paula, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She brought a great local perspective, and shared many interesting stories about her family, and the history of Brooklyn. All the logistics of the tour were outstanding. Bus arrived on time, and we actually started the tour 10 minutes early. Tables were waiting for us at the pizza parlors, and we were in and out, with a sit-down pizza in 30 minutes. Paula was very attentive to the group, whether it was maintaining temperature control on the bus, or taking pictures with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background.
We met folks from Australia, Finland and California on the tour, and the stops gave everyone a great chance to get to know one another. |

| Paula did a great job of making you feel like you are part of her family.
You really felt what it is like to live and grow up in Brooklyn.
You feel like a star when the bus pulls up to a pizza place with a line down the block and you get to go right in!
I would recommend this tour to anyone - pizza lover or not. The great pizza is just a bonus to everything else you get to learn and see. |

| FOUND THE PIZZA TOUR ON A GOOGLE SEARCH OF THINGS TO DO IN NYC. IT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR 4 DAY TRIP!! THE BUS WAS PRISTINE WITH LARGE WINDOWS FOR FULL VIEWING. PAULA WAS OUR TOUR GUIDE AND SHE WAS TERRIFIC. THERE IS NO DOUBT SHE KNOWS AND LOVES HER HOME TOWN OF BROOKLYN! COORDINATING FAMOUS MOVIE SCENES ON THE BUS MOVIE SCREEN AS IGOR DROVE US THROUGH THE ACTUAL STREET OF BROOKLYN WAS SO COOL. ALSO, I NEVER KNEW HOW MANY FAMOUS PEOPLE WERE BORN IN BROOKLYN. BUT THE PIZZA........OMG. IT WAS TO DIE FOR!! THICK OR THIN. IT DOES NOT MATTER. ABSOLUTELY DELISH! WE WERE SO STUFFED WE DID NOT HAVE DINNER UNTIL 10 PM THAT NIGHT. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE PIZZA TOUR NEXT TIME YOU GO TO NYC.

| This was a terrific tour with just the right amount of stops, food (it was a Pizza tour afterall), timing, and of course Tony was fantastic. It was for this group of world travelers the best guided tour we have ever been on. Recommended without any reservations. |
