| 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. |

| 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 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!!! |

| My girlfriend and I (it wasn't a date as much as a joint activity) thoroughly enjoyed this tour, which turned out to be a private event, as no-one else had registered. Isaac is a very knowledgeable and down-to-earth guy, who had a lot of interesting things to tell about New York City in general and Brooklyn in particular. The tour proved to be a very good sampler and we will definitely come back to the neighbourhoods we visited for more (in particular Williamsburg and Dumbo).
Combining the trip with food is a great way of bringing it all to life and providing some insights into 'normal life' in the areas visited.
We'd certainly recommend this tour.

| There were just 5 of us for the tour )possibly because it was Labour Day) so we had our own personalised tour with Isaac who friendly and knowledgeable. Because our group was small we got a very personalised service and this made it all the more enjoyable. It picked up on time, offered a friendly and personal view of Brooklyn and its varied cultures. The tour was informative, the food tasty and filling and there were some great photo ops and views of Manhattan from across the river. It was a great way to spend half a day in NYC and dropped us back in Manhattan at the end so we could carry on exploring and shopping. All in all great value and I would definitely recommend it. |

| While visiting our daughter, who lives in Brooklyn, we participated in what ended up being a personal tour in our guide's private car. The commentary was lighthearted and informative. The stops for food along the way were a delightful introduction to the ethnic diversity of NYC and Brooklyn in particular. |

| 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. |
