Wonderful tour - excellent tour leader
Thu, Jun 25  11:00 AM jkrz00 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Isaac was fantastic. I got much more than I expected from this tour. It was my first time in Brooklyn. Isaac is very knowledgeable, and made every effort to ensure that we were getting the most out of this tour. He took us to wonderful local eateries and shops where the food is made onsite. We got a look at some very interesting ethnic neighborhoods. And because he had time, and it was a beautiful day, we got to go to Coney Island, too, and have hot dogs at the original Nathan's. I had a great time, as did the others on the tour. I highly recommend it!

New York from a different perspective

The guide was extremely knowledgable and interesting. He showed the group parts of New York the average tourist would not visit and opened up a new discovery - great tasting food!! We exprienced Kosher, Cuban, Italian and of course chocolate to top it all off. A pleasant and different 4.5 hours

A great way to spend an afternoon!

This tour is highly recommended, as you get to see a bit of Brooklyn and taste some good food while doing it. Unlike the usual walking tour, this one is done by jeep (or bus) with a reasonable amount of walking included, and you get to see some ethnic neighborhoods up close. They also include a brief stop in the Lower East Side of Manhattan at Yonah Schimmels for a knish and some rugeleh, which are outstanding. My only recommendation to the tour operator is that he add in one pizza stop, given that Brooklyn is most famous for it and it is not included in the present itinerary. -Ken

Favorite Tour in NY
Sun, Jun 7  11:00 AM julianachea Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My boyfriend and I had limited time to spend in New York and decided to go on the Best of Brooklyn Food Tour after reading reviews on TripAdvisor. We love trying new foods and were really excited for this part of the trip. It turned out to be a great decision as this was our favorite part of the trip. We were able to try numerous new things that we would otherwise not have known about. Our guide was knowledgeable, passionate, and very considerate. We would highly recommend this tour and wish that we had time to go on another in a different neighborhood!

Really enjoyed this tour. We were able to visit and take part in the local foods of each diverse area in Brooklin. This tour provided us with some history not found anywhere else. Would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to go off the beatened path and experience the true beauty of Brooklin.

Fabulous Day in Brooklyn!
Mon, Jun 1  11:00 AM jstrathman Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Our family of 3 has been to New York City a few times. We were looking for something different, so we booked New York Fun Tours day in Brooklyn for June 1. As it turned out, the 3 of us were the only bookings for Brooklyn that day. Did they cancel on us? NOT ON YOUR LIFE! Bill called me the morning of our tour to remind me of our meeting place and to tell us that we’d be having a private tour that day. He told us our guide, Isaac would be showing up shortly and we’d be on our way. We were able to try some awesome ethnic food from places that we would have never even noticed on our own. We saw and learned about several parts of Brooklyn, but the best part is the way that Isaac interacted with us. The whole day was conversational and fun and very flexible. I really appreciated the way that Isaac “went with the flow” instead of reciting a script to narrate the sites. We decided that we wanted to walk back across the Brooklyn Bridge which we did and Isaac got us to the “starting point” on the Brooklyn side. It took about 45 minutes or so, at a pretty leisurely pace. Would I recommend New You Fun Tours? ABSOLUTELY!

Fantastic
Fri, May 22  11:00 AM petestarling Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The tour was exactly what we wanted -- "unknown" places with wonderful food. The tour did not take you to the same spot everyone else was going but actually catered to what our group wanted with impromptu stops and tastes. We enjoyed the tour and Isaac the tour guide immensely. Isaac was very knowledgeable and willing to change plans based on our interests. He did an excellent job of making sure that everyone enjoyed the tour as much as he seemed to be giving it.

More than just a food tasting tour
Sun, May 17  11:00 AM mbroadmeadow Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This tour was wonderful for two reasons. The first is you get to eat some great food during the tour. The second reason is you also learn about the history and people who live or have lived in the areas that the tour takes you through. Isaac (tour director) was very knowledgeable on Brooklyn and New York (he lives in NY). He was very friendly and accomodating to our questions and needs. I would highly recommend this tour.
