| I attended the tour in April 2009 and couldn't have been more pleased!!! It was a rainy and dreary Spring day but the tour made it wonderful regardless of the weather. Also, I was with my 2 sisters (ages 35 and 21) and my mother (nearly 60) -- and we all came back with the comments that it was great and we would recommend to anyone! However, I do recommend skipping breakfast because you will be stuffed after all of the great pizza you get to experience :o) |

| MY HUSBAND & i AND OUR TWO FRIENDS FROM CALIFORNIA HAD A GREAT TIME.
THE PIZZA WAS REALLY GOOD. WE ALSO ENJOYED THE TOUR OF THE VARIOUS SPOTS IN BROOKLYN, HIGHLIGHTED BY THE FILM CLIPS FROM THE MOVIES MADE IN BROOKLYN. OUR GUIDE, PAULA, WAS FUNNY, INFORMATIVE, WARM, FRIENDLY AND JUST PLAIN NICE. SHE WAS ACCOMODATING TO US BY LETTING US OFF NEAR CANAL STREET. WE REALLY APRECIATED THAT.
WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE TO ALL OUR FRIENDS. AND WE HOPE THAT THEY ALSO WOULD GET PAULA AS THEIR GUIDE. WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING SOME OF THE OTHER TOURS SOON. |

| Before the tour I was a little disappointed that we were only going to go to two pizzerias, but after we hit the second one I was so STUFFED I understood why we don't go to more.
It was a fun way to see Brooklyn, and our tour guide Paula was great and made the tour really enjoyable. She knows a lot of interesting trivia, and was like a proud parent showing off her borough.
Going to Grimaldi's without waiting in line is worth the price of the ticket. Grimaldi's is good, but honestly not the best pizza in the world, but you still have to experience it. L&B's was outstanding.
We got lucky with wonderful weather, but I can imagine it might not be as fun in the cold or rain, but still worth the trip. |

| This tour was a great value for the money. What better way to learn about a place than from a local person who has grown up there. The bus was nice and plush and our tour guide Paula was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We saw a side of NYC that we had previously only watched in movies. And let's not forget the pizza. Both Grimaldi's and Spumoni's were fantastic. I ate so much pizza they practically had to roll me back to the bus. We are planning to take the same tour again next time and potentially another one offered by the same company. |

| I thought the pizza at Grimaldi's was nothing special. It was very good like many others. I liked L&B more. There are other pizza places that I would have like to try.
The tour of Brooklyn was better than the pizza. I thought the tour guide talked too much. Yes, she was quiet on the way back. There was too much schtick. Overdone with the stories & DVD. |

| I was immediately impressed with how organized it seemed, and appreciated being picked up in a central location in Manhattan. I think our guide's name was Paula. She was obviously very well-informed and enthusiastic. I loved the playing of movie clips while we drove by the movie locales. It was a rainy day and the tour was flexible enough to offer choices (instead of walking outside visiting another place). And the pizzerias were fun.
I talked the tour up to anyone who asked how I liked it. I also told the concierge of my hotel, Radisson Martinique on Broadway, that I highly recommended it. |

| Our first visit to New York and taking the subway. The directions given were very easy to follow. When we called the company to be sure we were in the right place, Tony, was very polite and helpful.
Pamela was our tour guide that morning. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. Her enthusiasm and wit helped make the tour very memorable. Our group was small so we were able to have better one on one time w/Pamela. She spoiled us by taking us to Jacques Torres chocolate store by Brooklyn Park. She gave us suffecient time for photos and to take in the sights at each stop and she made us feel like family.
Brooklyn is not only an historical city, but very diverse in culture. it's like a little bit of the world sitting on an island. My favorite part of the tour was going to Brooklyn Park and seeing the skyline of Manhatten. My son's favorite was eating the two differenty styles of pizza. My daughter enjoyed it all.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and everyone. I give Pamela a big "high five" and a big "thanks" for making our tour so enjoyable! |

| This was a wonderful few hours laughing, learning, eating, talking and seeing the sites of Brooklyn. Thank you to Paula who had it all together - wonderful stories, funny quips, excellent video clips to accent where we were. Chocolate and Pizza - how can you loose. Thanks to the folks behind the scenes who helped make it happen and thanks to a great driver who navigated the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn so we didn't have to think about it. Saw all the the sites, enjoyed some pizza and even finally saw Coney Island -- what a country.
Thank you Slice of Brooklyn. |

| We were a group of eight (friends and family). Some of us were born and raised in Brooklyn. We all learned new information. The food was of course delicious. We loved riding along Shore Road and seeing homes people don't ordinarily think of when they think of Brooklyn. The driver was excellent. Maria Ripoli made the trip. She was warm, enthusiastic and knew her material as if she had been raised in Brooklyn herself. She interacted with the passengers and was most professional. It was great to share a part of my past with those from my past and with my new friends. Maria deserves much credit for a most outstanding job. Thanks We look forward to other tours, Alyce Conlon |
