| This was a perfect activity for a Sunday Afternoon. The Tour guide was knowledgable and the pizza was great. Only 2 Pizza stops on the trip, I was thinking there would have been a couple more. |

| Our tour was headed up by Paula, Tony's cousin. She is very energetic and full of history and fun movie facts . Not bad on the eyes for you fellas, either. ;) Everything she said about the pizza proved to be true - melts in your mouth - seriously the BEST! We had a great time and really enjoyed our first slice of Brooklyn. We would recommend the tour to NY natives and tourists alike! |

| 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. |
