| 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. |

| My mom was visiting from Colorado and she really wanted to do a food tour. When I looked on line, I thought the Broolyn food and cultural tour sounded like the most interesting one out there and we were thrilled to find out that was the case! The tour takes you from the LES into several diverse Brooklyn neghborhoods. Our favorite stops were the Hassidic Jewish deli and the Jaques Torres Chocolate shop. Our guide was knowledgable and very friendly. I think the only thing we didn't like that we tasted were the cuban pork sandwiches, but we both agreed that it was still a wonderful experience trying them and we wouldn't have changed a thing on the tour! |

| 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 thoroughly enjoyed this tour from the first moment to the last. Although we had visited New York City on prior occasions, we had yet to venture into Brooklyn even though it’s only right across the river. After having gone on other Food Tasting Tours in Europe, our expectations were pretty high. Needless to say, we were very pleased. The ethnic diversity and colorful flavors of the city really come alive on this tour. The variety of different foods we got to taste in the various neighborhoods were absolutely delicious and uniquely different. I particularly liked the Cuban sandwich in Sunset Park. At times it felt that we had traveled to another country. Overall, we were glad that we took this tour, as it was well planned out and there was enough food served that lunch was not necessary afterwards.
Highly Recommended!!! |

| Our tour guide, Isaac, was fabulous. As it happened, we had a five person 'private' tour in an SUV. Isaac commented that the other part of the group requested same, so there were the 5 of us. Isaac, being Jewish, was so informative when we were at the first 2 stops. Quite an education, above and beyond our expectations. We actually felt as if he were part of 'us' and not the guide. We quite bonded with him. He's very personable and a charming young man.
Since I booked the tour, I must compare with other tours I've taken in NY. To be honest, (as you requested), I feel that the cost at approximately $95.00 a person was quite high when you factor in the price of the food. I usually tour when I'm in NY and have enjoyed several tours for approx. $40-45. Of course this didn't include food and I don't think our tastings were that expensive. Of course, they were awesome, but in the long run, economical meals.
I would recommend this tour, but tell folks up front that it's more expensive than others.
A very special treat, compliments of Isaac, was that he dropped us off very near where our children live which saved us a trip to Manhattan to get the subway back to Brooklyn. We were tired by that time and it was nice to be 'home'.
Isaac is certainly an asset to your company.
We wish you and yours a very happy holiday. |

| 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. |
