| I felt like a visiting dignitary. The kindness and hospitality was a wonderful breath of fresh air in NYC. The bakery and the mikvah were amazing. I highly recommend people of all faiths visit for a mystic understanding of their Jewish roots in action. |

| I enjoyed learning about the Hassidic people of Brooklyn and how they live. It's like visiting a living museum. The tour guides give you great insight into the community. The kosher lunch, which was included in the price, was also really great. I highly recommend it. |

| Where else can you go no questions asked and be escorted around an area often seen as closed off to outsiders and be made to feel welcome? My husband and I happened upon your brochure and called last minute and booked the tour for the following morning. We showed up not sure what to expect and were very pleasantly surprised. The tour guide, Rabbi Kaplan, was engaging and knowledgable. Both myself, who has had years of various levels of Jewish exposure and my husbnd, who is not Jewish and has had zero exposure learned a lot and would not hesitate to go again. We saw the famous "770", learned about the history of Lubavich, saw a mikveh and learned briefly about its role in religous jewish life, a matzah factory, area stores, ate a kosher lunch and saw scribes at work repairing Torah scrolls and other ritual items. All in about 3 hours. Like I said, where else could you find this? If I find myself in the area again with other friends, I intend on booking another tour, and I know I will learn even more again. |

| Grande partecipazione e disponiblità della guida e di tutti gli interlocutori incontrati. Molto interessanti itemi trattati, in particolare quelli relativi al restauro dei rotoli della Torah, alla realizzzione del pane.
Guida competente e paziente.
Esperienza da consigliare. |

| 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.

| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
