| My love of pizza trumped my usual disdain for guided tours and I signed up. From the first introduction, Paula charmed us with her love of Brooklyn and enthusiasm for the movies, locations, culture, pizza history and diversity of her hometown. It was fun to see clips of movies as we drove past the locations. We also enjoyed her personal stories. The pizza was outstanding. I like the first thin crust the best although both were mouthwatering. The spumoni at the second place was not included in the tour price, but well worth the extra $2.
I am eagerly awaiting the upcoming mob tour! |

| We had Paula, Tony's cousin, and she was a true Brooklynite - with the accent and all, which was important to us seeing as we travelled all the way from Australia! The smaller bus was great for the intimate group we had, better than a big coach as we got to mingle with all the other tourists as well. We loved Grimaldi better than Spumoni's - but they were great both and you get PLENTY of pizza, plus there's a good gelateria at Spumoni's - however it was a tad cold for Gelato (minus 2 degrees!!) but the bus was lovely and warm and there's a great video montage that is played throughout the tour. Lots of great commentry about Brooklyn and plenty of photo stops - you'll love it, go for it! |

| I would really recommend this company. The tours are small and personal. The bus was new and very clean. I felt like I was getting a personal tour by a family member. It was one of my best experiences in New York. I went on other tours but they were crowded and impersonal. Paula was great she makes you feel like she is an old friend or a cousin. She was very funny and knowledgeable. I will definately book one of the other tours when we come back. We went on the Pizza tour of Brooklyn. I enjoyed the pizza but the tour itself was worth it. I feel like we got to see parts of the city only the locals know. I really wish they had tours of the other boroughs. I would go on them all. |

| Learning about the history of Brooklyn, its famous residents, its place in our country's history, its use in so many famous movies along with a visit to two outstanding pizzerias is worth a great deal more than the price of the ticket. We spent 4 1/2 hours on tour and hated to see it end. Highly recommended. We plan to take this tour again |

Worthwhile trip to Brooklyn

| The pizza at Grimaldi's (base of Brooklyn Bridge) is very good, and I liked it slightly better than at Lombardi's (which is on Spring St in Manhattan and not on this tour), though my wife liked Lombardi's best. We did not particularly care for the thick crust sicilian pizza which was a second pizza stop on the Brooklyn tour. The tour is an intertaining way to see Brooklyn. |

| Don't miss your chance to see brooklyn with a tour guide who knows what she's talking about, we had Paula as our guide and Kevin was the driver, she's a chip of the old block, being Tony's cousin, Paula's so enthusiastic and full of life!! the pizza we had was amazing and its not just a taste, you have as much as you want!! The movie clips that are shown on board are shown at the exact location the movie was shot, we really enjoyed the trip, dont think about it ,do it!! |

| Paula, Tony's Cousin, was fantastic! Her love of her native "Brooklyn" showed throughout the tour! Of course, the "pizza" was wonderful as well. If you're looking for a tour in NYC - don't hesitate to join the fun! |

Do it again!

| Great trip. Paula the tour guide was fabulous! She was well knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable.
We only saw a small section of Brooklyn, but the pizza was great!
Strongly recommend this trip. We are going to try the other tours that are available also. |

| We had a really good time in this tour!!!
Weīve been to NY a lot of times but this was our first time in Brooklyn and I canīt imagine a best way to have a "slice"!
Paula was great, very friendly, funny and with lots of interesting info!
So, why didnīt I gave it 5 stars? Well, that might surprise some of you, but itīs because of the pizzas... For me, they were just ok, nothing to go crazy about. Iīve had better pizzas at Johnīs in Manhattan.
But, again, pizza was not the reason we took this tour and weīll recommend it to anyone visiting the city! |

| Great tour, Paula was really friendly and down to earth.
This tour made the 20+ hour trip from australia worth it. Will be doing it again when we are back in NYC |
