| We were a family of four adults who decided to do the tour on the recommendation of a friend who had taken the tour earlier in the year. We loved the tour and felt it was well worth every penny spent! Tony was informative and humourous. The places visited were interesting and fun! The pizza was delizioso!! Thanks Tony!!
P.S. we look forward to returning for your next tour, keep us posted! |

| 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. |

| I had been on a number of tours in New York but none of them matched the Brooklyn Pizza Tour for quality and taste. Our tour guide was as enthusiastic to teach us about Brooklyn as enthusiastic as we were to learn which made for a wonderful tour. I left Brooklyn with a full stomach and a warm heart. Thank you for an experience I shall never forget. |

| Everything was A+ perfect. Our tour guide was outstanding and she made it SO enjoyable and informative. The pizza tastings were superb and the movie clips and Brooklyn history aspects were excellent. This was a FABULOUS tour and we will highly recommend it to our friends and family. Thank you! |

Pizza and tour guide (Paula) were great, but...

| First, let me say that Grimaldi's pizza is fantastic. We didn't care for the Sicilian style as much, but if you like that type of pizza I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Essentially, Grimaldi's is thin crust and Sicilian is a softer, thicker dough. Paula is a great tour guide. She is extremely enthusiastic about her job, and it shows.
My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is because there isn't much to see in Brooklyn. A few movie shots, the bridge, some big houses (no bigger than what you've seen before), a few parks, etc. Nothing mind-blowing. The best part for me was the walk down the boardwalk at Coney Island. I wish we could have spent most of our time there, and maybe take a ride or two.
Kids will probably be bored by most of the sites, and love the pizza.
Again, for us the pizza and Paula were the highlights. Everything else I probably won't be back to visit (with the exception of Coney Island). |

| My daughter and I took this tour for the second time last week. We enjoyed it as much as we did the first time. Last time Tony was our guide and he was great. This time Paula was our guide and she was also great!! This is just a delightful tour and the pizza is wonderful!! Don't forget to get some spumoni at L & B Gardens!! I would recommend this tour to everyone!!!!! |

| Tony does a great job of interacting with the group and treats you like long lost buddies coming by the neighborhood for the first time. His enthusiasm for Brooklyn and its history makes the whole thing come alive. The pizza is great, but unfortunately you have to take the plainest pie--if you are looking for YOUR pizza, you're just gonna have to take a trip to Brooklyn yourself. We had two kids with us and it was a highlight of our New York vacation. Fuggedabout it...enjoy the pies! |

| Our tour guide, Paula, was wonderful. She is very knowledgable about Brooklyn and answered all of our questions while telling great stories and providing local color. We stopped at two pizza places - both were tasty and we had plenty to eat. |
