| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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! |

| 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. |

| Enjoyed seeing parts of Brooklyn that I didn't know existed. The guide was great and so was the food (more drink, please). |
