| 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. |

| We would never attempt to do all theses places on our own. And we would never get all the insights and history without a great guide as Issac. All the food was great without it being too much. Very enjoyable tour. |

| 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 Best of Brooklyn Bus & Food Tasting Tour was definitely the highlight of our recent trip to New York. Our tour guide, Isaac, was excellent and provided us with many insights into Brooklyn, as well as New York City in general. And the foods we sampled were both interesting and delicious. Thank you for a great day, Isaac! |

| 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 |

| 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.

| 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. |

| 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! |

| 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. |

| Isaac lead our goup of 13 on a fun and filling tour. It was a rainy day but fortunately we had a large bus to keep us out of the rain. The bus came with an on-the-ball driver who navigated the bus safely through many narrow streets. We sampled a variety of different foods and left the tour filling very full. Isaac was wonderful and very informed. |
