| I would highly recommend this tour. From the moment I got off the subway, I felt I was in a different world. It was very interesting being part of a somewhat "closed society". All questions were answered honestly . The matzo factory was most interesting. Our tour guide was kind, informative, and helpful. I gained a whole new respect for a group of people who are extremely devoted to their beliefs. Our tour guide took all the time needed at all our stops so I could really take in all the sights and information. It was great that we could also take pictures of everything. |

| I thought the tour was a fascintaing insight into the lifestyle of the Chassidic Jewish people. The tour guides were warm and friendly and happy to answer all questions and provide indepth explanations into the meaning behind some of their everyday practices. There is a serenity amongst the people and a contentment in crown heights that I have yet to experience in any other place or city that I have travelled. It was truly wonderful to see that the Jewish community is thriving. |

| We learned a great deal about religious and social aspects of Chassidic life. The leaders were excellent teachers and excellent listeners. They were open and responsive to our questions. This is a highlight of our trip to New York. |

| Senior Mom and two adult children took this tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with Rabbi Epstein who shared so much of his wisdom and experience with us to enrich our Jewish education and spiritual path. We felt more connected to our Jewish souls after this wonderful, one of a kind experience. Many thanks to the Rabbi. |

| This was an interesting and informative tour that shows the culture and religion of Orthodox Jewish community. It is a quaint town and everyone is very friendly. It was worth the money and the Kosher lunch at the end of the tour was delicious. I recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in learning about this culture or if you are just looking for a good tour. |

| We really enjoyed the tour and it was very informational. I just feel that it is very important to keep to the time frame that you tell everyone. Otherwise the women learned alot and were very inspired. |

| The tour teaches one a great deal about Chassidic life in Brooklyn. We enjoyed visit to the various industries, the synagogue and we got a delicious lunch. There is also food on offer for vegetarians. And after the tour we received our photos via e-mail.
