| 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! | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

| 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. | ||||||

| THIS WAS MY DAUGHTERS AND MY FIRST TRIP TO NEW YORK. I DECIDED TO BOOK THIS TOUR TO GET AQUAINTED WITH THE CITY ON OUR FIRST FULL DAY THERE. OUR TOUR GUIDE, ISSAC WAS GREAT! HE TOOK US OFF THE BEATEN PATH TO SEE AS MUCH OF NEW YORK AS WE COULD IN THREE HOURS TIME. HAD I NOT BEEN ON THE TOUR I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN ABOUT HALF OF THE PLACES WE VISITED. IT REALLY WAS AWESOME. THE TOUR IS A BIT PRICEY BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS WELL WORTH THE EXPENSE. I WISH WE WOULD HAVE HAD TIME TO TAKE SOME OF THE OTHER TOURS THAT ARE OFFERED. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR FOR NEWCOMERS AND THOSE WHO PERHAPS WOULD LIKE TO SEE NEW YORK IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT. I DEFINITELY WILL USE THE SERVICE AGAIN! | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| We loved this tour. Not only were we able to try different foods that were delicious but we learned a lot about the areas we covered. We would recommend this tour to anybody who loves to eat and is curious about foods of other cultures. | ||||||

Something different to do in Brooklyn

| We were a group of 6, cruising into Brooklyn for a day stop (unusual as this is usually an embarkation/disembarkation port) and looking for something different to do by way of a tour in New York. We got so much more than that with our day trip with Isacc! As we booked a private tour with pick up and drop off at the ship, we had time to do a driving tour in Manhattan, seeing all the principal sites there, as well as doing the Multi-cultural Walking and Tasting Tour. We learned a great deal about the history and culture of the neighborhoods of New York and Brooklyn, ate some delicious foods we probably wouldn't have tried in great neighborhood places we probably would never have found on our own and had a generally fabulous day with Isacc. I can't recommend this tour highly enough - it was worth every penny, and I'd do it again. | ||||||

| Our group included a teenage boy and adults ranging from late 20's up to nearly 80. The tour held everyone's interest; Sam was terrific, very knowlegable and extremely friendly. Most of us have spent quite a bit of time in NYC, yet we saw and learned things that were new. Sam, thanks for showing us the Irish Hunger Memorial - we had no idea and it was one of our favorite stops! I highly recommend NY Fun Tours and Zerve. I teach customer service skills, and I will use these companies as an example of how to do it right! | ||||||

| Definitely bring your appetite to this one. You'll sample some excellent food from different ethnic groups (in our case Polish, Jewish, Cuban, and some chocolate, too). This tour gives you the chance to see various neighborhoods of Brooklyn, including some stunning views of NYC that you might never have otherwise seen. Ditto with the food--it's stuff you might not otherwise try but will definitely not regret having. Delicious. Tour guide (Isaac) was very informative, fun, and knew all the good places and food to visit. I did this as a corporate outing/team building event and I found it to be a good venue for that. | ||||||

| 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 | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

Get off the tourist beaten path, and eat well too!

| Visiting New York from California, my husband and I had a fabulous time on the Brooklyn Multicultural and Food Tasting Tour. Our guides, Isaac and Jarrod, (I am uncertain of the latter's name spelling), were full of knowledge and enthusiasm. We covered so much ground, historically and geographically, and the food was fantastic. It took my husband and me to places we never would have experienced. A highlight was sitting atop Sunset Park taking in the view of all of Manhattan while enjoying a Cuban sandwich. In fact, our daughers just moved to Brooklyn from California two months ago. We got to inform them of places and areas they had no knowledge of in their "own backyard"! They can't wait to take the tour too. Thanks for a tremendous New York experience! | ||||||

| 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 | ||||||

| This is our second tour with Fun Tours and Isaac. The first was in the convertible and this time was in the jeep. I loved this tour as we could get around the city so easily. Isaac is very knowledgeable about the city and shares this enthusiastically with us. He is a great commentator and has become a wonderful acquaintance when we are searching for information about the city. When we return we are planning on taking the cuisine tour. Thanks for showing us NYC. | ||||||
