A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour

What a great way to see and learn about Brooklyn, Paula our guide showed a great love ,and immense knowlege about the area,( Boy could she talk). The pizza was fantastic and it was great being able to avoid the long lines,otherwise we would have been there all day.The stories that Paula told us about the places and the people made this tour a memorable day,that we will remember for a long time. All in all this is a great way to see places a little way off the beaten track and to learn about the people who made it what it is today. I would reccoment this tour to anybody,as a great way to learn about the area.

Best way to see Brooklyn with a local who is a walking encylopidia on all things Brooklyn! Paula was a very interesting tour guide, we had a great time and would recommend this tour.

As I had read on Trip Advisor, Paula was indeed a great tour guide. Enthusiastic, cheerful and talkative, she provided a really interesting tour of Brooklyn. At the beginning of the trip, we (bus tour group) thought we'd rather visit a chocolate store instead of what was originally planned. Paula just changed the tour a bit and we ended up at a great chocolate place. After loading up on chocolate supplies, my daughter was back on the bus sipping a delicious spicy hot chocolate. One thing that was nice about this tour was that it was a relatively small bus and over two pizza stops we got to chat with our fellow passengers. Paula was great with the younger kids as well. I hope that this tour stays small and affordable. We really enjoyed it.

wow! 6th time to the big apple, and this was by far one of the best highlights!! I went around handing out brouchures the next day to tourists I met along the way. Paula was a riot, and the pizza - well, it was fantastic! Can't wait to do it again. Corry from Canada

This tour was awesome! The best pizza I have ever ate in my life! Our tour guide Paula did a super good job in teaching us all about Brooklyn and making us laugh. We got to see Coney Island, a lot of different neighborhoods and famous movie locations. I recommend this tour to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you say Yum!!!!!

A very good tour with great local history from Paula. Both Pizza stops were of a very good standard, with the first one being my favourite. Shame we didnt have very good weather on the day but Paula`s enthusiasm made up for this.

The tour was amazing. It was a particularly rainy day but Paula the tour guide was like a ray of sunshine. She was enthusiastic, full of interesting facts and really engaging. The pizza was amazing - no toppings necessary. Pizza was served with soda however Paula kindly organised hot tea for us at L&B which was brought to our table with no hassle. Try the Spumoni vanilla ice cream its a must! I will definitely spend a day in Brooklyn on my next trip to New York. Disappointed that one of the reviews written by an individual on the same tour as us commented that "noone liked the pizza" this is so unfair and should be treated as one individuals taste which should not have been written as the majority view Testament of how good it was - after eating as much as you wanted some people then took some home. The only downside was that the 4 hours went in too quick!!

Awesome tour, great fun, best pizza ever ! I had been before in 2007 and brought back 2 friends this time; they both thought it was one of the highlights of their first trip to the USA. Even as a repeat visitor I loved it the second time and would quite happily do it again. I think my friends felt the same way, in fact one said it was a shame it had to end at all, the only reason he couldn't go on was that he was too full to eat anymore. Paula was a great guide, funny engaging and just a genuinely really nice person, she taught us all a lot about Brooklyn and never once let there be a dull or wasted moment. Bad weather on the day didn't effect anybodys enjoyment on the tour as Paula managed to create such an awesome atmosphere. there could have been an earthquake and everyone would have been too engaged in the experience of the tour to notice it going on. Both times ive done this now the guides and the whole tour have been outstanding , they are great people who obviously really care about what they do and how much their guests enjoy it. I cannot recommend enough that every visitor to the NY area do this tour it's just great.

We picked this tour based on things we had read before. It rained that day, which is not their fault. We went to the first pizza place. It was think pizza with a bit of cheese and sauce. No toppings. Then we continued on the tour of Brooklyn which was pointless. It showed us some homes, but nothing anyone really cared about., The guide wanted to take us to a chocolate shop to go shopping..not what we had paid for. The second pizza place was thick crust, cheese, sauce. I got sick. A few of us did. Noone liked the pizza. We were offered free icecream because we got sick, but never received any. Take another tour

As we were staying a full week in New York we decided we would like to see another borough and this tour more than satisfied this wish. Paula was a good tour guide with a real passion and enthusiasm for her home borough. We stopped at two places for two very different types of pizza. First was Grimaldi's where we went straight in bypassing those already waiting in line and were served the typical thin crust Italian pizza which was absolutely delicious. We got great views of the bridge from the Brooklyn Bridge Park which is an oasis of calm. We then get a tour of the borough and the multi-million dollar houses of Bay Ridge change our opinion of this area, which were probably formed by watching too many mob movies. However, we loved the fact that lots of movies were shot here including Saturday Night Fever and the French Connection we would never have seen these places had it not been for this tour. We then had pizza at L & B Spumoni Gardens. I have to say that I have never tasted pizza like it - again delicious but so very different in texture to what we had at Grimaldi's. We also taste the spumoni ice-cream again very different to anything I have had before. We finally get to walk on the Coney Island Boardwalk. Alas the Cyclone is not open so we didn't get a chance to go on it. The weather was fabulous and very hot and as it was after the holidays the beach was almost empty but what a fabulous beach and view over to Rockaway. This tour shows Brooklyn at its best - do not miss your chance to see it.
