| This tour was fantastic! My friend and I had a great time. I live in NYC, but I would never have made it out to all of those places in Brooklyn on my own. The stop in Coney Island was especially fun. The tour guide did a great job of explaining the history of Brooklyn and of New York's best pizzerias, and she even told us a few exciting Mob stories. Pertinent movie clips were seamlessly incorporated, as well (the van had mouted TVs). It was pretty cool to get to see, for example, John Travolta walking down a street in "Saturday Night Fever" and then get to drive down that actual road in Brooklyn. It was also amazing to see the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges from so many angles.
The pizza was absolutely phenomenal, as well. Just don't make the mistake of eating breakfast before this tour. You want to go on it hungry, believe me.
Have fun!

| I was born in Brooklyn and raised just over the border in Queens. I moved to Manhattan as an adult and now live in Poughkeepsie. I wanted to show my son the borough of my birth. We both had a great time and plan to take the Brooklyn neighborhood tour to explore the rest of the borough. The bus was very comfortable and the guide (Paula) very enthusiastic. |

| Didn't know what to expect going in but it turned out to be a good time. $150 (2 tix) is a little steep but I think it was worth it. Lots of interesting places and good pizza. |

| My family (adult children) all had a great day together enjoying both the pizza and the tour. Paula was a phenomenal guide. Although native New Yorkers, it was fun learning more interesting Brooklyn history and checking out the local movie locations.
Can't wait to sign up for the gangster tour. |

| My husband and I are both from Brooklyn and we wanted to show our grandchildren where we were brought up. Tony has put together a great tour we had a lot of fun and our grandkids had fun and lots of pizza. We leared a lot but also was entertained. Tony was the best guide ever. We were the only locals the rest of the tour was made up of people from Austrlia, Germany, and Ireland and they loved it as well. We plan to do another tour in the spring. |

| 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! |

| The slice of pizza tour was well organized with a very informative speaker. The two pizza stops were great especially the first which is just about under the Brooklyn Bridge with excellent pizza. Great sites of Brooklyn and Coney Island!! |
