| My wife and I enjoyed this tour a lot. The tour included lots of interesting sites and nice meals. Showing parts of films with Brookling sights as we passed by them was a most. Not to mention Paola, that was an excelent guide. |

We enjoyed the tour very much.

| We would definetly recommend the tour to our friends in Texas. There is nothing in Texas remotely like Brooklyn.
We always stay in Manhattan and end up doing and seeing the same things.
The tour was someting different to do. We would not have been able to see and do everything we did if we had gone to Brooklyn by ourselves. We especially liked seeing Coney Island and walking on that Board Walk.
Our tour guide was great! She did a fine job. |

| What a wonderful way to experience a taste of NYC! A great tour filled with facts, history, trivia, tasty food, and new found friends. Our tour guide Paula, gave us a true insiders view of all the places you've heard about, and have seen in films and NY stories. She was an added treat!
The food was plentiful and delicious. Tucked away and popular with all those in the know, it was too tasty for words! The restaurant staff were all friendly and quick to answer questions. Pizza like you've never had. Only in NYC! We never would have experienced this extraordinary pizza without this tour, and the wonderful folks who organized this trip!
This is our second year of participating in the tours and have yet to be disappointed! Don't miss out on this great NY extravaganza. I've already recommended it to my family and friends who will be visiting the city soon!
We loved it! |

| Our group of six family members and friends (female, ages 40-65) really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, professional and FUN! She entertained us for 4.5 hours and we're so glad we chose this event. The tour bus was SO comfortable and nice and the Pizza was really good! They took us to areas we would not have seen if we had missed this. Loved the connections shown in the video clips. |

| This was the first time we had ever taken a food tour and it will not be the last. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every moment of both the bus tour and the food stops.
We will be back to enjoy another one of your tours. |

Good overview, albeit lacking in depth ...

| It wasn't the pizza, but rather the bus tour of Brooklyn which highlighted this outing. We walked underneath the Brooklyn Bridge and walked along the boardwalk in Coney Island, driving through fascinating and diverse neighborhoods in between.
The pizza angle was not emphasized; and this was OK with me. Nevertheless, if you are a serious foodie you may be unsatisfied. We stopped at two places: (a) Grimaldi's for Neapolitan-style and (b) Lombardi's for Sicilian-style. The visits were strictly dining-room. No one from either establishment met with us for Q&A or to show us the kitchens or ovens.
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour myself; but then again I signed on more for the Brooklyn experience than to learn about the NY pizza scene. |

| The pizza was delish, Maria was fun and full of fascinating Brooklyn-lore. We luv'd Grimaldi's pizza with the thin crust and the creamiest mozzarella we've ever had, contrasted by the pizza at L & B Spumoni with the thicker gooey crust and perfect sauce. AT L & B Spumoni ask for the "combination" spumoni which will give you all three flavors - did I say yum.
We had a great group of folks on the tour with us from all over the U.S. My husband and I will definitely be back to visit Brooklyn -- hopefully next time we can take friends with us on the tour again. We highly recommend the tour! Thanks, Maria for a great time!! |

| Tony was a great tour guide with a wealth of information to share with us about his native Brooklyn. I especially liked how we were shown the clips of movie scenes of areas we were passing and also the wonderful Sicilian Pizza. Highly recommended! |

| Five sisters-in-law from Louisville, Kentucky loved this tour. Tony was absolutely perfect, full of insider knowledge about Brooklyn. The film clips are a great addition, especially for a movie buff, and seeing the actual places where scenes in famous movies were filmed was really cool. The history behind the pizza places we visited was so interesting and the pizza was awesome. I have visited NYC numerous times and this was one of the most special things I have done. You should go on this tour. |

| We really enjoyed this tour. The only thing we had to say was the pizza was delicious
but it was served too close to each other. I expect to come back to this tour with my
husband in July. That's how much I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed seeing the expensive
part of N.Y. City that I was surprised to see and also Coney Island, which I have been
anxious to see for years. I was great to see Brooklyn, because I know I would never have seen it no matter how many times I came to the city. So we thoroughly enjoyed
the whole tour. |
