My friend and I really enjoyed the tour. Our guide was energetic and knowledgeable. The tour incorporated film clips with actual places so we could get a feel for the area. I highly recommend this tour. |

The Pizza Tour

I went on this tour with 3 other people. I guess you could call it a double date. We had a lot of fun. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. I would have like to go to atleast one more pizza place. but it was really cool that the information that we learned on the tour we also saw on this Pizza Wars show on the Travel Channel. This told me that the tour guide was very accurate. |

Our Rabbi and his wife went on your tour about 5 years ago. When they heard we were travling to NYC they told us we had to go on your tour. The day after they told us how great you were, you apperared on NBC Today Show, and no tickets were available after that!. Thus, I got mine well in advance of our trip, and was surprised when our guide greeted us with saying that she saw we had tried to get tickets a while ago! Paula was really adorable, and told us that Tony, who was the original guide, had expanded, and the family was now guiding. She did a terrific job of sharing the history of the areas we went to. We really fell in love with her, and wish her luck in all of her future endeavors. My husband and I were very impressed with the professionalism the day was handled with, as well as the amount of historical information you shared. We never imagined the spots you would take us, including the street my husband's grandmother lived on. I have never been to Coney Island, but have heard about it forever, and that walk was amazing. My husband, now 72, was there with his father when he was 7. Learning about DUMBO, Red Hook, and the new park and board walk being built was quite an experience. We also really enjoyed the little film clips which added to the enjoyment of the various areas. Oh, and by the way, the pizza was really terrific too! It was lots of fun walking into the restaurant in front of the line of people who had been waiting to get in! Please tell Paula again what a great job she did. As soon as I send this review, I am sending your information to a friend who is coming into NYC next week, and will tell everyone about your tours. Please keep us informed as you continue to add others, and thank you for a really awesome day! Judy and Joe Zipper, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. |

My brother and I were born in Brooklyn, but were raised on Long Island, so for us it was fun to go back and reminisce about places we'd gone as young children, i.e. Shore Parkway, Coney Island etc. The pizza was exceptional too!
Our guide Paula was a wealth of information and made the trip entertaining and fun.
When it came time to sell the t-shirts, we felt Paula could have dispensed with the issue that her uncle couldn't give her a raise, but she could get a cut off the sale of the t-shirts in order to pay her recently incurred medical bill of $15,000. To my group that was a total turn off. We believed the t-shirts would sell themselves without the b.s. , and in fact didn't buy one because of the pitch. No one wants to hear about someone else's expenses, particularly when they just spent $75 pp for a tour.
Other than that we all enjoyed the tour very much and would certainly recommend it. |

A fanatstic tour that took us all through the ins and outs of Brooklyn! The tour was extremely humourous and takes you to places I never would have normally visited as an international tourist! The two pizza places were the best tasting pizza I have ever had and our tour guide, Paula made the whole trip fun, interesting and informative. A big A+++. |

Our guide was great! Tour was a good showcase of Brooklyn, bus was comfortable and had a bathroom, would have liked it if the tour covered more areas like Williamsburg, Park Slope, etc, but overall it was fantastic. Got to skip the line at the pizza places and the pizza was delicious. Would definitely take another tour with this company again. |

This tour was recommended to us by a friend who had gone on the tour with her family recently. We have been to NYC many times and were looking for something new and fun to do. This tour was both of those things and more. From the moment we stepped on the bus, Paula made us feel comfortable. She had a great sense of humor as she shared with us many informative facts and stories about Brooklyn. She actually recommended a good book to me about Brooklyn as my dad grew up there. I have purchased the book and will give it to my dad shortly on his birthday. Whether we were eating the delicious pizza at both restaurants or walking Coney Island, Paula made us laugh. This is a great way to spend your day. The bus was comfortable and the short walks are a great idea after consuming all of the delicious pizza ! We highly recommend this as a great addition to your stay in the NYC area. |

Paula was FANTASTIC as a tour guide throughout Brooklyn. Even when we got stuck in traffic, she was able to talk her way out of it. Grimaldi's was our favorite!!!
It would have be better if the pizza was a more "well done" and we had the chance to sip 2 glasses of wine instead of 1. But, the part of the tour which amazed me and my husband were the neighborhoods of Brooklyn. We had no idea, even though, we are locals, that such neighborhoods existed. The movie clips of where they actually filmed was very interesting and fun! And, then, our stop in Coney Island, what a treat to be able to see this icon. All in all, the Brooklyn Pizza Tour is Terrific and the pizza is GREAT!!! |

Our group of nine friends from Australia took the Slice of Brooklyn tour and it was fantastic. We had Paula as our guide and she did a great job of passionately showing us her hometown. It really showed that she knew and loved her town, and that made the tour great.
The tour takes you all over Brooklyn, showing you movie locations, giving a bit of history and of course sampling some of the best pizza you will ever have.
I would highly recommend you take this tour to get out and see more of New York than Manhattan and try some great pizza. |

Had been to the pizza spots in Manhattan before and wanted to venture to Brooklyn but didn't feel comfortable just hopping on train and wandering around. Out of our week in NYC the pizza tour was by far the most fun and informative adventure that we went on. Paula was funny and informative and a great representative of Brooklyn! The pizza was great, walked past people waiting in line and were served right away. We saw how beautiful Brooklyn really is and now love it more than Manhattan. In fact we felt so comfortable in Brooklyn after the tour that we got on the subway in Midtown and went to the beach in Coney Island the next day! Take the "F" for fughettabouit train. Thanks Paula for a great time and even better memories. Hopfully we will see you guys next year or for the Xmas lights tour! Don't miss out......take the tour! |

It was a fantastic tour of Brooklyn - our tour guide, Paula, was the best tour guide I've ever had. She was very enthusiastic, and genuine. The pizza was great and plentiful. The views of manhattan were amazing. I found the movie clips on the bus quirky - would love to see some modern movies in the mix. Great Tour - a must do! Save your feet, and get out of manhattan in style! |

My friend and I enjoyed our first trip to NY the highlight was A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour. The guide Paula was informative, fun and classy. The idea of matching the landscape outside the bus to a video clip of a movie in the bus was outstanding. We had a great time. Thanks |
