| Our group was only 3 people and the guide so we had a lot of time to ask questions and get indiviual attention. This kind of tour is much different that the kind where there are a lot of people. Our guide told us they have a 16 person maximum so that the tour can be special.
The food was great, we had knishes, a cabbage noodle dish, stuffed cabbage, and a cuban sandwich. We also stopped at 2 chocolate factories for desert.
It was a beautiful day so we took a short ride to Coney Island which was fun and the ride along the coast was beautiful. Our guide added this as my special request as it isn't usually part of the tour.
Issac was a great guide. |

| The tour was delightful and I felt like I was going back in time. Visiting the food vendors everything was made by hand with love. The tour guide was very informative about Brooklyn he knew the" ins" and "outs "of the borough. It is a wonderful treat. |

| We come to New York once a year. The last 6 years we have signed up for a different food tour. This tour rated as one of the best. Our tour guide was very friendly and informative about the area. We will recommend this tour to our family and friends. |

| An amazing tour made even more wonderful by the knowledge kindness and sense of humour of my tour guide Isaac.
The tour itself is diverse interesting and quirky, taking in locations views and life styles which range from one colourful extreme to another.
I strongly recommend this outstanding tour - and please make sure you ask for Isaac- he's brilliant! |

| Issac was a wealth of knowledge about Brooklyn and all its areas. It turned out that we got a private tour as no one else signed up for a cold day at the beginning of January. He took us to the usual places and then out to Coney Island too. We enjoyed all the areas he brought us to and the food was really good, too. I've recommended this tour to our friends at home. |

| 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. |

Something different to do in Brooklyn

| We were a group of 6, cruising into Brooklyn for a day stop (unusual as this is usually an embarkation/disembarkation port) and looking for something different to do by way of a tour in New York. We got so much more than that with our day trip with Isacc! As we booked a private tour with pick up and drop off at the ship, we had time to do a driving tour in Manhattan, seeing all the principal sites there, as well as doing the Multi-cultural Walking and Tasting Tour. We learned a great deal about the history and culture of the neighborhoods of New York and Brooklyn, ate some delicious foods we probably wouldn't have tried in great neighborhood places we probably would never have found on our own and had a generally fabulous day with Isacc. I can't recommend this tour highly enough - it was worth every penny, and I'd do it again. |

| Had a really enjoyable and informative day. We had a week in New York and it was great getting away from the usual tourist spots and seeing a very different New York. Jerry and Isaac were great guides - their insights and enthusiasm for this part of New York shone through and made the day. This was a fascinating trip round a bit of New York we would never have thought to visit ourselves, never gets mentioned in the Guidebooks and is well worth a visit. If we ever get the chance to get back to New York we'll definitely head out to Brooklyn and have a further look. |

Get off the tourist beaten path, and eat well too!

| 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! |
