| I am usually not a fan of tours but my mother was set on visitng Brooklyn (we are from Florida) and I heard good things about the Slice of Brooklyn Tour. The tour was worth every penny!! My mother (60) and I (27) walked to the meeting place about half hour early and Paula was there with a clipboard and the very comfortable bus. Paula has an awesome personality. She is fun and bubby enough to appeal to children if I had brought mine yet witty and charismatic enough for the adults. At each pizza place you visit you seem to get VIP treatment and what I really liked was that Paula seemed to know all of the employees in the restaurants. We were stuffed (like I heard we would be from the reviews that I read online) and very happy. This really was the best part of the trip for both my mom and I. Every single detail was taken care of. My mother had some health problems and I was worried about her walking too much but at all of the sightseeing spots, we were given the option to sit in the bus. We never did but just having that option was good. The televisions with clips from movies was really good. It really was better than I expected and I even thought of doing the tour again next time we take a trip to NYC. | ||||||

| Great! Attended the tour on a Sunday in March. The tour is a family run business by a Brooklynite name Tony. The guide we got was his cousin Paula. We started by Union Square as a meeting point for the tour. We then made our way over to Brooklyn crossing over the Manhattan Bridge (since the Brooklyn bridge doesn't allow commercial traffic and we could get a great view of the Brooklyn Bridge from the Manhattan Bridge). The bus stopped in the DUMBO (down under the manhattan bridge overpass) area and we took a walk through the park under the Manhattan Bridge. After, the bus dropped us off at the Empire-Fulton Ferry Park adjacent to the Brooklyn Bridge. First (of two) pizza meals was served next at Grimaldi's just east of the park. Grimaldi's is one of the few (if not only I'm not sure) restaurants that still use a coal fired oven. The pizzas apparently cook here in less than 3 minutes. We were served delicious Margherita pizza (mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil leaves) with a thin crust accompanied by a Brooklyn soda (I chose the black cherry). After the meal, we then took the bus on 278 south towards Bay Ridge. Paula guided us through the neighborhood and told us many interesting facts about the area. We saw a lot of neat and (some) crazy looking houses in the Bay Ridge area. We soon ended up at L&B Spumoni Gardens for our last pizza tasting. The pizza at L&B that was served was a Sicilian with the cheese melted onto the dough, then the sauce on top. After the meal, we had to choice to try spumoni, which I definitely did since I have never had it. Both the pizza and spumoni were excellent! Our last stop in Brooklyn on the tour was Coney Island. The bus brought us to the boardwalk where we got off the bus and walked along the beach. Paula informed us about the history of the area as well as the famous landmarks and amusement parks that exist (and have existed). The tour was 4 1/2 hours long but definitely well worth it. Our guide Paula was enthusiastic and definitely loved talking about her home. The pizza places chosen were also very delicious and I now plan on returning at some point. I definitely know a lot more about Brooklyn than I had before. Give this tour a shot if you love pizza and want something different than the ordinary NYC bus tour. | ||||||

| Our group lives in Southern Westchester. Our group consisted of my in-laws both in the 80's; my husband and I (in our 40's) and our 12 year old daughter. I am from the South, so it was my first time in Brooklyn. Everyone was thrilled! The historical information we received was intriguing and the "movie trivia" was so entertaining. But the pizza!!! I cannot say enough about the pizza! Just remember when you stop at the firt restuarant to save some room for the second resturant - which is OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD!!!! Then you need some more room for that Nathan's hotdog!!! I highly recommend this tour to anyone - local or "out of town tourist". I can't wait to go on the Mobster tour!!! | ||||||

| If you're not in a rush, this is an interesting - and tasty - tour that covers quite a bit of Brooklyn. Our guide was informative, entertaining and - most importantly - a local who had "been and gone"...and came back. Her enthusiam for Brooklyn, pizza, her family and her tourists was infectious. | ||||||

| I went on a Friday with a group of friends, some local New Yorkers, some visitors. We all did not know what to expect, except knowing we would be eating amazing pizza. The tour blew us away! From the movie highlights to all the neighborhoods of Brooklyn Paula described, we had a great time. She was energetic, enthusiastic, and most of all FUN! Paula was a delight to be around. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know more about Brooklyn, wants the best slice in NY and likes to enjoy themselves. I cant wait to take my mom on it when she visits from FL!! Thanks, Lila Hagen New York, NY | ||||||

| We travel to Manhatten at least once a year but have never made it to Brooklyn. We saw Tony on the Today Show over a year ago and made a note to give this a try on our next trip. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in fabulous views, interesting neighborhoods and of course great pizza. Our guide, Peggy, was informative, fun and entertaining. We will recommend to all of our California friends when they head back East. | ||||||

| First off a couple of my friends and I went on this tour to learn more about Brooklyn and of course have a litttle pizza. 2 of us live in NYC and we had a friend visiting so we thought why not take this tour? We left with a ton of knowledge from our guide Paula and a lot of pizza to take home! This is great for anyone visiting or anyone that hasn't left Manhattan yet!! It was such a great tour that Paula led us on, we were also engagd and in awe the whole time. L&D-WOW, my favorite pizza ever!!! So much fun touring in our van we didn't even mind that it was a bit chilly outside. Anyone should go on this if they can, it's run by a family owned business and they care about you. 4 1/2 hours flew by and we didn't even want to eat for the rest of the day!! Paula you were great and I can't wait to take the Christmas Lights Tour!! | ||||||

| We had a very interesting and kind guide, the tour bus was very nice not to mention the succulent PIZZAS! Ever since our return home we're still talking about the tour! It was a great idea to have the movie scenes on screen and then having visiting the site. Thank you for making our experience a memorable one, we had really enjoyed ourselves. | ||||||

| My wife, son and I took the Slice of Brooklyn tour on Saturday 2/21/2009. Due to a flight issue, a large group never mde it, so there ended up being only seven of us on the bus. Maria was our tour guide; she comes directly from italy (Bologna, I think). She is an actress by profession, and her ease of speaking was evident. She did an outstanding job showing us everything on the tour, and she was able to field a wide array of questions from us tourists! The pizze at Grimaldi's and L&B was excellent, of course. My wife bought some spumoni at L&B for the ride back to Manhattan, and it was excellent too. We would...and already have...recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get a nice overview of Brooklyn, something I really enjoyed. | ||||||
