| There were only the three of us.....husband, wife and sister of husband.
Isaac furnished his own car, and we were able to take advantage of some of the off-the-beaten path sights such as Cony Island.
Very enjoyable, and we have already referred this activity to people from the West Coast that love New York as much as we do.
Needless to say, we did not eat dinner that night with all of the wonderful snacks along the route. |

| We had a great time with Isaac, he is enthusiastic and knowledgable and obviously loves New York. The food stops were great, I wish we'd had time to go to one more neighborhood, perhaps Greenpoint. Would have preferred a bus to a limo. |

| My group thoroughly enjoyed our Brooklyn tour lead by Issac. I am from New York (born and raised in Brooklyn) but have resided in Florida the last 13 years. The remainder of my group consisted of infrequent visitors to NYC who had never been to Brooklyn. First, I should commend the staff for altering the start time of our tour to accomodate our schedule and even checking up on us with a phone message to make sure our plane arrived timely. Our tour ended up being a private one in a brand new JEEP, both of which were pleasant surprises. Issac is a gracious and knowledgeable guide and knows much about the neighborhoods we visited. The food locations and choices were enjoyed by all. The bonus of starting on the lower east side with a stop at Yonah Schimmel's (the 1st knish store) was great. The variety of the neighborhoods and foods truly help one understand the melting pot nature of New York. We highly recommend the tour and the company. |

| We enjoyed our tour and were especially surprised at the high quality of the food provided. I definately would not eat before the trip - more food is included than your might think.
I would also take a blanket for the final picnic. The park is lovely and the view is unequaled, but the grass isn't always litter-free and a blanket would be advised. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| We really enjoyed the tour. We were lucky that our group was small and we got a lot of individual attention. Food was good too. |

| 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! |

| Spend time in Manhattan at the beginning which was interesting but would have liked to see more of Brookyn and try foods over there. |
