The Brooklyn half day food tour was phenomenal. The tour guide, Laurie, was knowledgeable, entertaining and very excited to share her food knowledge. The food was delicious and I would highly recommend this tour.

This tour was absolutely incredible! Our guide Laurie was amazing and provided great details and history on the area as we drove around. She was also very helpful in recommending things to do while visiting New York. The food was incredible at all the places and the diversity of the cuisines was intriguing. At the end of the tour, we were given the option to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge rather than being driven back to the meeting point, which we chose to do- I highly recommend it as it is a great way to see the city. I cannot recommend this tour and our guide Laurie more highly!

Laurie was a wonderful tour guide. She knew so much about Brooklyn and we got to see a lot of the borough. Wasn't a fan of the last two stops. Don't need two desserts. Rest of the food was great!

For Father's Day, I booked the Food and Cultural Tour of Brooklyn for my family. Rick was our tour guide and Carlos was our driver. The weather was threatening so it was a relief to be in a luxury bus for the tour. Very little walking required, although we could have used it given the amount of food we ate. Rick's knowledge of Brooklyn was beyond compare. I found it all facinating, and he was an absolute pleasure. The food stops included a meatball, falafel, pierogies and kielbasa, cannoli, chocolates, pizza and more. All the best of their neighborhoods. It was a great day. Could not recommend it enough. Thank you Rick and Carlos for such a great day.

Mr Rick (tour guide) and Mr Jerome (bus driver) truly showed us the best of Brooklyn’s food culture! Safe and comfortable bus transportation. Loved how Mr Rick gave us the history backgrounds of the neighborhoods and food culture. So much food is provided to taste. Thank you Oasis, Table 87, Krolewskie Jadlo, Monteleone Bakery and Jacques Torres for your hospitality and great tasting food and desserts! Highly recommend this tour and these 4 places! Also Appreciated the communication with the tour company. They really made sure we were properly informed with the pick up time, place and tour guide. Love Brooklyn!

Everything about this tour was terrific. Our guide, Laurie, was kind, funny, and knowledgeable. The food was excellent--and there was so much of it. Plan to skip dinner following the tour--you'll be stuffed. A real plus was seeing how much my adult son enjoyed the tour. He moved to Brooklyn a month ago and really wants to get to know the place better. I noticed that he bookmarked in Yelp all the places Laurie mentioned so that he can visit them with friends. Foods of NY Yours and Laurie, many thanks for a super day.
