Great lunch and a fun day
Sun, Mar 8  11:00 AM naciotola Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This was a lot of fun. We got to see a few parts of Brooklyn. Obviously, this is not a comprehensive tour. However, we did get to sample lots of local cuisine. There was enough food for a very satisfying lunch. Our tour guide was very friendly too. My only reservation is that about half of our stops were at Jewish themed restaurants and bakeries. While I enjoyed the food thoroughly, I was expecting a more diverse array. Nonetheless, I did get to sample many foods I never would have eaten otherwise, so I am glad I took the chance.

Excellent tour of New York
Sat, Dec 6, 08   12:15 PM MCBLAIN1 Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
We booked our tour in advance of arriving in New York, through looking on the New York internet sites. We kept it as a surprise from our two girls aged 23 and 16, and surprised they were, as were we! We were picked up from our hotel in a lovely limo by a very couteous driver (we can't remember his name) and were accompanied soon after by our personal tour guide, Isaac. He was a truely excellent guide, witty, funny, very knowledgeable of New York and a native of the region (which helps a good deal). He mapped out a really good itinerary for us, and included in it the two area we really wanted to see, Ground Zero and the Brooklyn Bridge. He took us to many other places, which we would certainly not have seen on our own, and which were very interesting and he gave us some useful background on their importance. Having your own personal tour guide on a one to one is excellent, and Isaac was always ready to answer any questions we had, as well as to impart his own local knowledge on the areas we visited. All in all the experience was very pleasurable and we would highly recommend this trip to anyone who has never been to New York before. We would also recommend taking the tour early on in your holiday, as we did, to take full advantage of the remaining time you have, to revisit areas of particular interest which were covered in the tour. Finally, we would like to say a big thankyou to Isaac and to our driver for a truly memorable experience of New York. Thankyou from Kevin, Chris, Anna and Lucy.

Enjoyed the tour

Tour guide was great - knowledgable and friendly. Tour normally uses a bus but used SUV this time. SUV was cramped, people in rear seat could not see well and frequent exiting was difficult. Food was interesting and nice variety.

Isaac excellent
Sun, Nov 9, 08   11:00 AM inspire Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

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. Mitchell Jason Dean Australia

Great day
Sun, Oct 12, 08   11:00 AM hancock Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

Amazing and Exciting New York sightseeing tour
Fri, Oct 10, 08   7:15 PM nours_am Male 30-39 International Tourist(s) Family With Children
We've been welcomed by a guide. This person is in love with New York, full of great advices, very enthousiastic. The visit of new york, with some walks in Greenwich Village, Little Italy, Chinatown, over the Brooklin bridge was a dream come true. The guide, i don't remember his name, was an actor. We spent an amazing moment with him. Thanks for all Fun Tours, great time Aymeric

The trip was fun, informative and very interesting
Sun, Aug 24, 08   1:15 PM MaryKNiles Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Issac was very interesting and informed. He knows the area well. He also recommended restaurants that were good. On the tour, we celebrated my birthday by eating cupcakes under the Brooklyn Bridge. Issac was caring and called later to see how we were doing. (Tell Issac we met Murphy at the U.S. Open and we mentioned the "Fun Tours" that Murphy took.) Thanks again for an informative and fun afternoon. Jim & Mary Kay Niles from Yukon, Oklahoma

Must Do Activity

This was the highlight of our trip to NYC. Strongly recommend doing it as early in your visit as possible as you will be made aware of things you hadn't even thought about and that you would like to do more of. It was kind of like getting a spectrum of colors and then deciding what kind of picture you wanted to paint. Issac was outstanding and perfect for this job. Mahalo & Aloha Dave, Maxine & Eva Uilani

Great way to see lesser known NY spots
Sat, Aug 2, 08   7:15 PM jggoldenberg Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

Gastronomic Delight
Fri, Aug 1, 08   12:00 PM jbigman Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
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.

multicultural is rigt!!
Mon, Jun 30, 08   11:00 AM archaeoptery Male 50-59 Unspecified Unspecified
Well, it was a small group of 7 which was wonderful and since the van was broken we were driven around in a stretch limo!!! Isaac knew his stuff and I should know as I visit nyc about 3 times a month for the last several years and do stuff EVERY TIME!! Getting to Old Williamsburg where the Hadassic Jews live probably wouldn't be done on my own much less finding places where the food was excellent and seeing the views of Manhattan while eating Jacques Torres sweets was great and having cuban sandwiches in a cuban area of Brooklyn where there is a park that gives an ENTIRE view of manhattan was great. Recommend it to new visitors and others who have visited manhattan 50-500 times! You'll see something new!!

An interesting insight into Brooklyn
Sun, May 25, 08   11:00 AM Wondergem Male 60-69 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.
