The bus tour was a great way to see as much as possible of Brooklyn. Paula was very informative and personable. The pizza at both locations was excellent. We don't see how anyone would be disappointed by this tour. |

Paula was great. Her enthusiasm and warmth radiated on the cold day. She is well versed in all things Brooklyn. Highly recommended. |

The tour was well organised. The tour leader and driver were very friendly and imformative. At the pick up point our first introduction was the tour leader getting off the bus to meet us with a smile and a positive approach which made us feel very welcome. Learnt a lot about the history and information on Brooklyn which we would not have known unless we had taken the tour. The pizza's were to die for. Did not feel rushed at any time. We were travelling with teenage boys and they loved it.
Strongly recommend this tour. |

A must-do tour when visiting New York

My wife and I had the pleasure of going on this tour on 23rd January 2009 and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to see something different when visiting New York - and who want to be fed as part of it!
Our guide Paula was superb, her enthusiasm and knowledge was excellent and coupled with the numerous stops where she provided more info and and the clips of famous movie scenes filmed in Brooklyn made it a very well rounded tour packed full of information. As a big Saturday Night Fever fan it was fab to see the actual street from the first scene in the movie.
Oh yeah, the pizza was great to! The first stop was for thin crust pizza with a bottle of brooklyn soda - go for the black cherry flavour. Delicious! The second pizza stop was my personal favourite as it was unlike any slice of pizza I have ever had - lovely fluffy dough base and a delicious tomato sauce.
All in all I have to say we were both extremely pleased with the tour, we've been lucky enough to visit the city a few times but never ventured to Brooklyn, I'm glad i saw it with the Slice of Brooklyn tour. Even if you don't like pizza, the tour is worth it just for the views looking back over the Manhattan skyline.
Add it to your itinerary when on a visit - you wont be disappointed. |

We've been to NYC before and we're looking for something new and different to do. We found it in this tour. We had a great tour guide, Paula, who was funny and full of all kinds of Brooklyn trivia. She is a fantastic guide. We had a small group, only 9 of us. I had no idea that Brooklyn could be such a fun place. All the movie clips as we passed the places was a great idea. We came home wanting to rent the movies.
The weather was cold and windy, but that didn't stop up from getting out and taking some walks through the snow at Coney Island and a couple of other places. Paula always asked us if we wanted to get out and walk and we always voted to do it. We stopped in for hot chocolate once on the spur of the moment and loved it.
The pizza was some of the best I've ever had. I usually go for thin crust, but my favorite this time happened to be the thicker one. The sauce was to die for.
A great time was had by all. Don't miss it. |

Our 11 and 15 year old grandsons rated the 'A Slice of Pizza Tour of Brooklyn' as #1 and our weekend included a play, skating in Central Park and Madam Toussads so that is quite a recommendation!! The tour itinerary is very diverse, the pizza was great and Paula did a wonderful job of linking everything together for us. |

My daughter and I joined the Slice of Brooklyn Pizza tour on a bright but very cold January morning but we soon warmed up on the bus. Maria our guide was very informative and entertaining and the pizza stops she took us to were the best we had tasted. At the end of our trip unfortunately the bus broke down but we were well looked after, Uncle Loui came to the rescue and took us back to our drop off point. Others went in cabs paid for by the tour. We could not have been looked after better.
Thank you |

This was a GREAT time, despite the cold weather. Maria and Tony were wonderful hosts and our entire group enjoyed the afternoon. When we travel back to New York, we will take another one of their tours. It was fun and informative! |

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!

Our expectations prior to the tour were high, based on the comments of others, and we were not disappointed. Our tour guide, Paula, was superb (knowledgeable and bursting with enthusiasm), and the highlights of the tour, in terms of sites, were very well chosen. Moreover, the central theme - that is, pizza - similarly lived up to high expectations, and the eating was at a relaxed tempo despite the frenzy of the restaurants. As one would guess, consequently, the tour gets my highest recommendation. The four and 1/2 hours goes by very rapidly. |
