| After reading "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" our book club decided to go on a "field trip". This culinary tour far surpassed all 9 of our expectations!! Isaac, our tour guide was passionate about the city, it's people and history. We got an exceptional overview of the history and the varied cultures that call Brooklyn home. This gustative tour was filled with the aromas and delicate tastes of genuine pure ethnic "old" home cooking. Our senses thoroughly came alive during this culinary tour via the sights, sounds and through our taste buds. Our last stop was at Sunshine Park where Isaac promised an amazing vista as we kicked back and picnicked on the grass. We were not disappointed! The view was spectacular as well as our pulled-pork sandwiches... it just topped off a day filled with adventure, laughs and genuine enjoyment. Bravo! | ||||||

| Tour guide was very knowledgeable about obscure but current NY things to do. Seeing NY from Brooklyn, the IRish hunger memorial and other locales would not have been obvious to visitors so it was a welcome change from "Normal" NY activities. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| A great tour given by a local who knows and loves his city. Issac was wonderful, and gave us a unique view of lower Manhattan most people miss out on. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting New York, even those who think they know the city well. Looking forward to taking other tours from you next time we are in New York. Thank you!!! | ||||||

| We had my two college daughters AND elderly mother. Guide Sam and driver Shariff went out of their way to meet our special needs, adjusting the walking portion as necessary with pleasant and fun attitude. Sam was awesome, completely prepared with history and interesting facts. This gave us a great intro to the city. Since we did it on the first day, they also answered questions and gave advice about our plans for the week. Wonderful. | ||||||

| I purchased this tour for my sister-in-law, her two teenaged daughters, and my three teenaged daughters. My SIL and I have been to New York numerous times, but it was a first-time trip for our girls. We had show tickets and other outings planned, but we really wanted to start out the trip with a bang, and this tour was just the ticket. We kept it as a surprise for the girls. We wanted them to be wowed with some of the "glitz" factor of the city. Having a gleaming white limousine pull up in front of our hotel on Saturday morning to take us for a private three-hour overview of the city made for some excited, giggling teens. Our tour guide, Sam, was personable, informative, and friendly. He was also (my thirteen-year old informed me afterwards) "a hottie." He seemed very proud of his city and not only told us myriad facts about the history and culture, but pointed out some neat shopping places which the girls hit with credit cards blazing the next day. He was a terrific tour guide and I recommend him whole-heartedly. The limo was very clean and the driver was uniformed. We all felt very "uptown." Although the limo will pick you up and drop you at your hotel, when our tour was over, we requested to be dropped in Chinatown for some shopping, and Sam was happy to do that. I only have one complaint about the tour, and that is why this rating is four stars and not five. Our driver conducted some kind of business on his cell phone for the entire tour. Whatever business he was conducting seemed much more interesting and important to him than we were. We all noticed, and it did detract from the "glamour" of the experience. The driver is supposed to open the limo doors, help you in and out of the limo, and pick you up when you make a stop and walk for a few minutes to see some attraction, like the view across to Ellis Island, or the Irish Hunger Memorial. But our driver talked on his cell phone during the entire tour, even if he did open the door -- that phone was glued to his ear. Several times he did not exit the limo when we did, and once he failed to meet us at a rendezvous point at the WTC Ground Zero for about ten minutes. I think that when one pays that much for someone's time for three hours, that their mind should be on their job, not on their own personal business. Our tour guide, Sam, was very attentive and made us feel very special. The driver, whose name escapes me, made us feel as though we were intruding on his private time. If my daughters had not been with us, I would have said something to him about it. But other than that one blot, the experience was first-rate, and I highly recommend it, especially if your children have never been in a chauffeured limousine before. | ||||||

A unique and special tour of New York City

| I booked the red Chevy convertible tour as a surprise 40th bday gift to my husband. We both LOVED it! We were staying in the city for 4 nights and took the tour on our first night there. It was a great way to see the city and learn some history about the various neighborhoods, while simultaneously traveling in a fantastic vehicle. We got many comments and whistles from passersby, adding to the fun ambience. Our driver was Isaac. He was wonderful - personable, friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. We loved the fact that he knew the back routes and lesser known (ie non-touristy) eating and drinking establishments. By the time we finished our tour, we felt we'd made a new friend in Isaac. We would wholeheartedly recommend this particular tour to anyone looking for a unique approach to a "city tour". | ||||||

| 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 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!!! | ||||||

| 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 GROUP OF LADIES OF ALL AGES. THE TOUR WITH A CAR AT YOUR DISPOSAL WAS GREAT. LESS WALKING AND WE COVERED ALOT THE CITY. WE SCHEDULE OUR TOUR ON A SUNDAY MORNING AND IT ENDED UP BEING THE FIRST SNOW NEW YORK HAD THIS YEAR. TRUST ME IT WORKED OUT GREAT. OUR GUIDE WAS GREAT. WE EVEN STOP AT A RUSTIC COFFEE SHOP FOR SOME COCO. LOVE THE TOUR AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR TOUR NEXT YEAR OF BROOKLYN. HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET THE SAME TOUR GUIDE (ISSAC). THANKS AGAIN. | ||||||

| Don't be put off by the price - if you have a party of up to 10 people, consider the individual cost and compare it with the cost of the usual bus tours. Throw in your personal guide - and our guide, Isaac, was very helpful and informative - and the luxury and unique thrill of your personal limo, and you have a great way of exploring New York at a reasonable price. Highly recommended. | ||||||
