| We all really enjoyed the tour; it is a very good way to learn a lot about Brooklyn, NYC and the history. people and areas. Isaac was a mine of information, very enthusiastic and helpful. He responds to any and all questions, and is very engaging.
One thing that helps is the small size of the group, which is restricted to 12. Unfortunately the normal bus wasn't available and the replacement bus had rather low windows so it was difficult to see all the sights.
Overall we loved learning about Brooklyn and would highly recommend this tour. |

| We loved this tour. Not only were we able to try different foods that were delicious but we learned a lot about the areas we covered. We would recommend this tour to anybody who loves to eat and is curious about foods of other cultures. |

| Definitely bring your appetite to this one. You'll sample some excellent food from different ethnic groups (in our case Polish, Jewish, Cuban, and some chocolate, too). This tour gives you the chance to see various neighborhoods of Brooklyn, including some stunning views of NYC that you might never have otherwise seen. Ditto with the food--it's stuff you might not otherwise try but will definitely not regret having. Delicious. Tour guide (Isaac) was very informative, fun, and knew all the good places and food to visit. I did this as a corporate outing/team building event and I found it to be a good venue for that. |

| I took the Brooklyn Food Tour with two friends from Australia and we were lucky enough to have a personal guided tour with Isaac, a Brooklyn native with a wealth of knowledge and a great sense of humour.
We couldnt be happier with the tour.

| We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We ventured into areas of Brooklyn that we were not familiar with. The local restaurants that we tried were fabulous and well worth another visit. |

| Visiting New York from California, my husband and I had a fabulous time on the Brooklyn Multicultural and Food Tasting Tour. Our guides, Isaac and Jarrod, (I am uncertain of the latter's name spelling), were full of knowledge and enthusiasm. We covered so much ground, historically and geographically, and the food was fantastic. It took my husband and me to places we never would have experienced. A highlight was sitting atop Sunset Park taking in the view of all of Manhattan while enjoying a Cuban sandwich. In fact, our daughers just moved to Brooklyn from California two months ago. We got to inform them of places and areas they had no knowledge of in their "own backyard"! They can't wait to take the tour too. Thanks for a tremendous New York experience! |

| I purchased this as part of a birthday present for my boyfriend, the only other group with us was another couple our age who had received this as a present from their parents. Isaac was a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, we drove around in his jeep which was perfect for the size and weather, ate so much until we were stuffed, and had an impromptu visit to a wine store for some kosher wine which was a pleasant bonus. All in all, a great way to see Brooklyn and sample unique foods. |

| After reading "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" our book club decided to go on a "field trip".
This culinary tour far surpassed all 9 of our expectations!! Isaac, our tour guide was passionate about the city, it's people and history. We got an exceptional overview of the history and the varied cultures that call Brooklyn home. This gustative tour was filled with the aromas and delicate tastes of genuine pure ethnic "old" home cooking. Our senses thoroughly came alive during this culinary tour via the sights, sounds and through our taste buds. Our last stop was at Sunshine Park where Isaac promised an amazing vista as we kicked back and picnicked on the grass. We were not disappointed! The view was spectacular as well as our pulled-pork sandwiches... it just topped off a day filled with adventure, laughs and genuine enjoyment. Bravo! |

| My group thoroughly enjoyed our Brooklyn tour lead by Issac. I am from New York (born and raised in Brooklyn) but have resided in Florida the last 13 years. The remainder of my group consisted of infrequent visitors to NYC who had never been to Brooklyn. First, I should commend the staff for altering the start time of our tour to accomodate our schedule and even checking up on us with a phone message to make sure our plane arrived timely. Our tour ended up being a private one in a brand new JEEP, both of which were pleasant surprises. Issac is a gracious and knowledgeable guide and knows much about the neighborhoods we visited. The food locations and choices were enjoyed by all. The bonus of starting on the lower east side with a stop at Yonah Schimmel's (the 1st knish store) was great. The variety of the neighborhoods and foods truly help one understand the melting pot nature of New York. We highly recommend the tour and the company. |
