| Isaac was a terrific guide! He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, food and culture. He answered all of our questions and it was like spending time with an old friend. Even tho we are fairly local (in Jersey) there was still so much to learn and enjoy. We look forward to more tours from this company. May you continue to have many years of success... |

| For me, a good food tour should obviously be about the tastings, but it should also be an introduction to an area or a cuisine, its history and its people, and this tour really ticked all of those boxes. The tastings were delicious and brilliantly chosen, and showed us great places off the beaten track that certainly I wouldn't have found on my own (and I did plenty of research on where and what to eat before I came to NYC!). The tour guide, Isaac, was knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly, local, so he knew lots of fascinating bits of information that you probably wouldn't find even in the best guidebook.
I would recommend the tour even if you aren't a foodie - my mum loved it every bit as much as I did, because pretty much everyone can understand a few great bites, and some beautiful views of both Brooklyn itself, as well as looking back towards Manhattan. |

| Our tour guide, Isaac, is a mile-a-minute encyclopedia and made our tour of Brooklyn a fantastic experience. He took us the fascinating places heaving with history. Don't go for gourmet food, but do go with a mind open to understanding the lives, diets and habits of various immigrant groups. I could have spent a week in his company and come away having learnt more than my history teachers taught me during my entire schooling. Thnks Isaac. |

| We enjoyed our tour of Brooklyn very much. It was great to see boroughs and back streets that would normally be glossed over. The food was interesting and of a high quality. The Cuban sandwich was really tasty (plus they offered a Fish Sandwich for the Kosher participants too). We had a little mix up in finding the meeting point as someone had stolen the street sign at the busy end, but we found eventually and were still early! |

| I enjoyed the Brooklyn food and cultural tour. We visited places we would not have seen ordinarily. There was a range of interesting places and food to taste. Food was delicious! The bus was comfortable and modern and our guide very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and areas we visited. Highly recommend this tour. |

| We were a small group of tourists (a couple from Australia, a guy from Sweden and a couple from Chile) but Isaac, our tour guide, made everyone feel so comfortable that we all felt as if we were in a group of friends. We drove around Brooklyn in a great van and had the most delicious samples of food from different ethnic groups that have settled there.
The tour was interesting and fun. Our favorite stop was at the chocolate factory. It´s really the most amazing chocolate we´ve ever had. And our guide was just great. If you are going to New York, this experience is a must. |

| I joined the tour as an individual and I had a wonderful time. There were enough congenial other participants to ensure that everyone had chatty company.
The tour started promptly and the bus was spacious and comfortable. Isaac clearly is proud of his city and carefully selected all the stops on the tour for their uniqueness and authenticity. We had delicious knishes, Cuban sandwiches, gourmet chocolates, hearty Polish food .... really a good variety.
The restaurants knew in advance we were coming and the food arrived as soon as we were seated.
I enjoyed Brooklyn so much that I returned the next day. Isaac was very professional and worked hard to make sure everything went smoothly and all his guests were well-cared for. I'll definitely recommend this tour to others, and will probably take it again myself in a year or two. |

| In New York city for a couple days with daughter (22) and son (20), as well as a friend and her son and daughter. All 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed the Brooklyn Food Tour. Tour is well planned, on time, and food selection is very good. Tastings more than enough for lunch, even for the 2- 20 year old males. We liked all the food, in particular, the potato knish and the Cuban sandwiches. Our guide, Isaac, did a terrific job, provided us with great information of the city as well as wonderful locations for great pictures. He is knowledgeable and personable, and recommended to us a lovely restaurant for dinner. Definitely one of the best tours we have taken.

| 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 |
