| None of my children could be with me on Mother's Day. I didn't look forward to the day. A friend recommended this tour and it was perfect. It made the day pass so enjoyably. It was full of interesting tidbits which, although a lifetime New Yorker, were new to me. The pizza respites were delicious plus a nice pause in the tour. The guide was sweet, helpful and knowledgable. She obviously wanted us to enjoy ourselves and made sure we did. I have trouble walking, and the fact that the van was there at the end of every trek made it possible for me to participate in the walks and not have to walk back. Dolores was a great driver - manipulating traffic, never stopping or starting too fast - very smooth ride. It was such a happy thing to do that it was perfect for the day. I'm very interested in the Christmas lights tour. We've already recommended it heartily to all our friends. |

| There's nothing quite like it, and this tour gives you the absolute best of each style. The world-famous thin crust from Grimaldi's, and the sweet, robust flavor of L&B's Sicilian. This tour proved to me me what I sorely miss when it comes to pizza and living in Boston. There is nothing here that compares.
The tour itself was great, the tour guide was very interesting and informative, and the movie clips were an excellent touch. I guess I never realized just how big and diverse Brooklyn really is. I'd highly recommend this service to anyone, defintely worth taking the trip across the bridge from Manhattan for an afternoon.
I'd definitely consider taking the mobster tour from this same company as well, looking forward to it! |

| This tour was so much more than yummy pizza. It wasn't "touristy" and there was not a dull moment. Tony made it a fun roadtrip and showed us all of the coolest spots in Brooklyn - spots you don't read about in your NYC books. It was also crucial to get VIP entry to Grimaldi's and cut the 1 hr+ line to get in :) |

| I really enjoyed this tour. I used to go to Spumoni Gardens as a child with my father.. Revisiting it 30+ years later was a treat. Tony the tour guide was great. He was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. You could feel the love he had for Brooklyn as he led you on the tour. Even though I was born in Brooklyn and lived there for 22 years, there were many interesting facts I didn't know. The pizza was delicious and well worth the trip. I would strongly recommend this experience. |

| My wife and I truly enjoyed this trip off of Manhattan into Brooklyn. Tony led our tour, and has the affection for Brooklyn that one can only get if one has grown up there. For example, we passed the theater where Tony snuck into his first R rated movie, and even though the theater is now closed, you could tell it was a special place for Tony. That spirit premeated the tour.
The pizzas places were great, but more than the food, we enjoyed the atmosphere of the places. The first place was more urban, with lots of young folks out on a beautiful Saturday. The second place was in a neighborhood, with families with with kids in little league uniforms getting a treat after a game. The two diverse stops brought Brooklyn alive, causing it to become more than a movie set. The couple on the tour who live in Brooklyn said that where they live (Brooklyn Botanical Gardens area), they never see the families out, and that was what they enjoyed. They also said that they had planned to cut out early and take the subway back to their home if they didn't like the tour, but stayed for the entire tour because Tony told them so many interesting stories and facts. In short, even the locals highly recommended the tour. |

| My sister and I have been planning this trip to NYC for a year, and although it was my first time, my sister had been to NYC many times. A friend of her's live in NY and recommended that we go on your tour. And we are really Glad we did. Paula was amazing. She had a whole lot of Brooklyn info for us and had a great time telling us all about her home town. She really made the trip memmorable, that is besides the Pizza. Which was fantastic. Both places were so good and also so different. We will always think of the Pizza Tour as one of the high lights of our trip.
Thanks Paula and the driver (can't remember her name) she was alot of fun also.

| We had a great day on this tour which is more a tour of interesting Brooklyn neighborhoods than a stuff-yourself-with-pizza tour, although the pizza was certainly delicious. Paula was a fun and energetic guide who kept us entertained the whole four hours - her love for and knowledge of her hometown borough was very apparent. As a bonus we walked right by Justin Timberlake filming an SNL skit in DUMBO! I absolutely recommnend the tour for both tourists and Manhattanites who never visit Brooklyn. |

| My sister-in-law and I enjoyed this tour immensely! We were in NYC for 5 days and just wanted to do anything and everything....found this tour on the web and decided to do it. So glad we did. I am particularly fascinated with the places where movies were filmed and our very informed guide, Paula showed me...and many other very interesting spots in usually-forgotten Brooklyn. The pizza was great as well. Paula is to be commended by her superior for a job very well done! ~~ A Marylander |
