| The tour itself was very interesting. We had been staying in Brooklyn for a few days, but didn't get an idea of what it was really like until we went on the tour. The pizza was good...a little too filling (four slices of pizza in like two hours time!). The only complaint was the "Hawaii-5-0" type of music that they played on the whole way back to Manhattan...something more appropriate woulda been nice. Except for that , it was great tour! |

| A well organised blend of interesting information, mini-walking tours, linking places with film clips and good quality pizza. An excellent tour guide (Paula) who was not "over the top" and a quality bus driver. Overall, very good value. |

| Just came back from a whirlwind trip to New York City, including our first trip, via the Slice of Pizza Tour, to Brooklyn. I admit, I was a little skeptical, initially, about the price of this tour, but was convinced to give it a try after reading the multitudes of recommendations from other tripgoers, and watching the "Today Show" excerpt on the slice of pizza website.
I can now add my own opinion to the rest, that this tour is fabulous, and the pizza was spectacular as well. Our 9-year-old seemed to think so, too, and said this tour was her favorite part of our trip to New York City, believe it or not.
You get: your first introduction to Brooklyn (including Coney Island), some of the best pizza EVER (note: We WILL be going back to L&B Spumoni Garden next time around), and get taken to film locations all over Brooklyn, complete with the movie clips shown right on the bus video screens as you are driving around the sites. |

| Our tour guide Paula was excellent. She knew her history, was friendly and answered questions asked. If I would take friends or family on this tour I would only go if Paula was the tour guide. We enjoyed the pizza, my favorite was the L&B Spumoni pizza. All of us would vote that Paula be made the tour guide for this tour. We enjoyed seeing and learning about the things included.
We would certainly recommend this tour. Paula made it interesting and fun. |

| I've always wanted to see Brooklyn in greater detail, but I never desired driving though it myself. When I heard about this tour, I thought it would be perfect and it was. Maria, our tour guide, was full of information, and Danny, our driver, was so calm, cool, and collected on the roads that we forgot we were in a metropolitan area.. Whether you are interested in history, Italian-American culture, pop culture, or plain old sight-seeing, there was something for everyone. The stops at two very different pizza places kept everyone happy along the way. Plus, there were several stops along the way where we could all stretch our legs, snap some pictures, and take it all in. It was a well-balanced tour with the not too much of any one thing, but just enough of all the right ingredients (likewise for the pizza!) Thank you! |

| Appreciated the vegan accommodation. Guide and driver were excellent. Was expecting to see Park Slope area. Maybe it can be added in future trips. |

| I had read about the slice of Brooklyn Pizza tour online on trip advisor. After reading the reviews on here I thought I sounded like a great way to learn about pizza and sightsee.
Paula was our great host on this trip and i found her to be very knowledgable and funny.
The best thing about the tour was being able to bypass the line of people waiting for pizza and head straight to your table reserved for you.
As you travelled along Paula told you about the history you were passing and showed video clips from movies that were filmed there.
Along the way you were able to get off the bus and take photos.
The day we took the tour was a very cold day so it was a great way to spend the day on a bus and eating pizza in warm pizza places.
This tour is a great way to see Brooklyn. |

| My wife and I had a great time. Paula did a great job although I would have preferred Tony as the tour guide as his Italian authenticity is what I was expecting.
Overall The pizza and the tour of Brooklyn was great. I would have never experienced the history and all the celebrities that came from Brooklyn if it wasn't for this tour.
I would definitely recommend this tour to my friends and I am looking forward to the new Mob Tour when I return to New York.
2 Thumbs up!!!!

| We especially enjoyed the thin crust pizza from Grimaldi's at the beginning of the tour. Touring all the different neighborhoods of Brooklyn was interesting and the tour guide Paula provided excellent and informative commentary. |
