| The tour is much much more than slices of pizza. I have been on and enjoyed several of the Zerve New York tours and this was by far the best. From up under the Brooklyn Bridge, through the many diverse Brooklyn neighborhoods, and browsing around Coney Island - everything was entertaining, educational, and just so much fun. And also the different types of pizza were great. I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting New York. The main difference between this tour and others was the super tour guide - Tony- who has a real passion for Brooklyn and pizza. This is one of the few tours I didn't want to end. |

| Great tour. Tony is a great host and guide. 4 1/2 hours is a long time but worth it . Two tips: 1. make sure you are not tired when it starts 2. you won't need dinner resrvations for that evening - a light snack will do. |

| This was a terrific tour in a comfortable bus, packed full of facts and information on famous locations in Brooklyn. I particularly enjoyed the TV's that showed clips from movies that were filmed in Brooklyn shown as we were actually passing those spots.
The two pizza stops were excellent and we were treated very nicley by those two famous establishmnets.
Our guide was full of enthusiasm and fun to be with which added to the overall pleasurable experience. It was also fun to be able to get out at the two stops (Coney Island and Empire Park under the Brooklyn Bridge.)
If you have friends or family visiting from out of town I would heartily recommend this tour or even if you do as we did and get a group of friends together and go have a blast!!
One slight negative, I wish they would change the "jazz" tape that was played on the way back to Manhattan (while they were showing famous Brooklynites) to music that would be more connected with Brooklyn/New York.
I would definately take this tour again and are considering some of the others that are offered. |

| It was great to taste Brooklyn pizza (both thin and deep crusts) which is so fabled! I would have liked to visit Williamsburg and eat in a Kosher deli too. Perhaps another tour that would combine one pizza place and a Jewish deli would be a good idea. I would also have liked to wander around some of the ethnic neighborhoods which would be another tour too. Brooklyn is so very interesting, our tour guide Paula was very enthusiastic, and the clips from the movies as we passed the locations were very fun to see. There is a paucity of bus tours of Brooklyn which is a real shame as there is so much to see. This pizza tour was the only game in town on a hot August day when a walking tour would have been hell. I definitely will go back to Brooklyn on my next trip to the Big Apple! Thanks for your good services. |

| We all had a great time. This is a wonderful trip. Good value for the money and Tony, the tour guide, has such a passion for his Brooklyn neighborhoods that one cannot help but come away with a sense of pride, respect and love for Brooklyn. We all had a wonderful time and would recommend others do the tour We will probably do it again. Really loved the thin-crust pizza. |

| Our group (8) of local New Yorkers really enjoyed Tony and the entire tour. There was one suggestion and that was to consider switching the Spamoni Gardens with the Coney Island stops. That is, go to Coney Is first and stop at Spamoni Gardens immediately following that. This would give more time to work off and digest the Grimaldi pizza before making the second pizza stop. |

| My son and I heard about your tour on the Australian T.V. Show "Getaway". We enjoyed time touring Brooklyn and the pizzas. We couldn't get over how picturesque the borough is and we were amaised at Coney Island. It was particularly interresting to hear all the intrigue surrounding the place. I couldn't imagine anyone else running the tour than Tony. I intend to contact Chanel 9 here in Australia to thank them for publisising your tour. Contrary to Tony's quote, "Ah! Forget aboud it!" We wont. |

| Our tour leader, Paula, was informed, enthusiastic, thoughtful, involved and was able to make information interesting....there was never a dull moment. Also, the way the company coordinated videos re movie street scenes with actual location of van was seamless.
Definitely for those interested in Brooklyn and the pizza ain't bad either! |

Great if you are definitely interested in Brooklyn

| -The bus, the movie clips on the bus, and the guide were great, couldn't be better.
-The pizzas themselves didn't live up to our expectations...they had no toppings and there were 2 stops for pizza.
-We were disappointed in seeing Brooklyn itself...wasn't there anything better or more interesting to see? Seeing where movies were made was interesting as well as Coney Island (rundown), but I would have also liked to see something positive! |
