| We booked the tour prior to leaving Australia in April and visited Turkey, Greece, Paris and Frankfurt before arriving in New York 2 days before the tour. Having experienced a diverse range of ethnic cuisines en-route, it was a delight to sample the varied range of food and wine, as well as experience the cultural diversity encountered in Brooklyn.
It was a fabulous tour and Isaac was an excellent host. We enjoyed every moment, and would certainly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York, and wanting to do something totally different. This Brooklyn food tour was very memorable to us and stands out as something that we very much enjoyed taking part in. |

| We had a wonderful tour with a great tour guide. The food was very tasty and our guide was very knowledgeable about all the areas that we visited. I would strongly recommend the tour to everyone. We look forward to our next trip back to New York to tour other areas wth Fun Tours. |

| 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. |

| Issac, our tour guide went out of his way to personalize the trip , and provide a most unique experience. Not only was he a terrific driver, but also one of the better tour guides that I have ever encountered. His knowledge of Soho, The Village and in particular the various areas of Brooklyn was totally impressive. Actually, I suggested to him that he should put together his own tour guide book. If your other drivers have as much knowledge and personality, Fun Tours would be very lucky. He made riding and walking around on a hot Sunday afternoon a pleasure. I liked the idea that the trip was personalized so that we saw many things that we wanted to see, and that Issac was well versed in his history of each area. |

| 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. |

Good but not enough time in Brooklyn

| 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.

| 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! |
