| I went on this tour on Nov 20-beautiful day as I wander down to the meeting area at 11:15-no one is there. Hmm. Oh that is because the tour began at 11am! Checking our phone we not only received a great message from Paula letting us know that the tour was ready to begin but also the info that if we missed the bus where to meet them at the first pizza stop. We called her back and she returned our call Again when they were eating to give us the details of the subway stop and how long they would be there! She was so great to help us meet up with the bus tour!!! Once on the bus she was a delight and full of great information about her time in Brooklyn and losts of history. Just a great time that flew by. Highly recommend this tour, this company and esp the greatness of Paula! Thanks again!!!!! |

| I had a wonderful time on The Slice of Brooklyn tour. The pizza was dee-lish-us! Paula, my tour guide was amazing. She was warm, funny, informative and very attentive to everyone. I loved all of the movie tie-ins along the tour. Whether it is your first visit to NYC or your fifth make sure you get out of Manhattan with a Slice of Brooklyn - fuggedabout Times Square!!! |

| After you have absorbed the glitter and lights of Manhattan discover the other New York through the eyes of a local resident in Brooklyn.
Exactly what an overseas visitor is looking for away from the obvious tourist attractions. The tour is built around a focus on two different types of pizza but has so much more.
Paula our guide was passionate, genuinely interested in her charges for the day and very informative.
Very well organised. |

| The tour guide was personable and bouyant....full of energy and never
flagged over the few hours of the tour.....made everybody on board feel
welcome and particularly was good with some chlldren on the bus. We
had never been thru Brooklyn before so some of the neighborhoods were
surprisingly nice to us and to our French friends who were our guests....actually
changed their idea of what Brooklyn was like! |

| We definitively enjoyed this tour. The staff is awesome, thanks Paula!
The pizza is so good and skipping the line is great. I can't believe there're people waiting for hours. We got to know several Brooklyn neighborhoods while our tour guide told us interesting things about those places.
In the last pizza place (L&B) my boyfriend forgot his backpack with his passport and the guide was so nice that we got back there to get it. It must have been that delicious pizza that made him forget about it.
Highly recommend it! |

| One of the take-aways I look for in a tour is to figure out the places I'd like to go back to on my own. And this tour definitely presented some great places, and not only the pizza places.
Our tour guide, Paula, was enthusiastic, and more importantly knowledgeable about the neighbourhoods we visited.
A pleasant tour and recommended. |

| The guide was terrific: funny, informed, etc.
The tour was good, weather miserable, but interesting sights. I wish we'd seen more neighborhoods, had second pizza later in the tour so time to digest first. YUM! |

| We found Tony very knowledgeable about Brooklyn and all the history was interesting. The facts he gave us were true, short and to the point. He was very friendly, funny and personable. The bus was very clean, comfortable and the bus driver Kevin was professional. The pizza was cooked to perfection and the staff at both places were friendly and accommodating. We are very pleased that we were able to take the tour. It helped make our New York trip extra special. If you are thinking about taking any other tour instead of this one FUHGETTABOUDIT!! |
