Josh was very knowledgeable and easy to interact with. Great job

Mr. Robert M. from USA travelled on 07 Jun 2017:

Superb walking tour, Josh was very informative and Brooklyn is a great place We had some beers cakes sandwiches snacks in fact so much that we didn't need Dinner that night! Book this tour you won't be disappointed Thanks Spencer and Jan

Brian was GREAT. Tour was GREAT. All stops were very good. Although the soda fountain place was cute and had an interesting story, the egg creme was not to our liking. And quite frankly, a little heavy after all the other great food and drink.

The tour was a little heavy on breads and bakeries. Would have liked a little more culinary balance.

Mr. Stephen P. from Australia travelled on 24 Aug 2016:

We visit both old school haunts and new culinary entrepreneurs to experience an exciting menu of both traditional flavors and daring dishes. We stop into Italian and Middle Eastern shops that have long been the staple of the neighborhood, and explore the growing scene of cafes and restaurants specializing in New American cuisine. While we enjoy their delicacies, we learn about the neighborhood's rich history and changing character from the local business owners and residents themselves.

Mr. Alex B. from USA travelled on 07 Feb 2017:

Discover the delicious mom-and-pop shops and restaurants of Brooklyn to experience how food is the engine of our local ecosystem.  Brooklyn's Smith and Court Streets and surrounding neighborhoods have a vibrant mix of small, locally-owned, and artisanal food shops unlike almost any other neighborhood in America. On this Brooklyn food tour, you find out how these unique spots came to be, and with a local guide you discover just what it is that makes them special.

Fantastic tour with a great guide (Brian). Lots of different taste tests with plenty to eat and drink and great history of the area and the small businesses that make it so interesting

Josh was an excellent guide and it was good that he lived in the area we were exploring. It gave us an different prespective on life in New York for the usual Manhattan based trips. Will definitely revisit Brooklyn on our next trip.

Very friendly shops. Eclectic food tour. Knowledgeable guide.

Brian was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He also made sure the group and the tour stayed organized.

From artisan cheese and bread shops, Italian pastry stores, cafes with coffee roasters, the oldest Middle Eastern bakery in NYC, and a modern soda fountain, this NYC food tour couldn't get more unique if it tried. The shops and food in this area have been featured in press and TV all around the world, from Australia to France, and is by consensus the best food neighborhood in NYC. So definitely come hungry!
