Lonely Planet named Brooklyn as one of the top destinations in its 2007 "Blue List," its annual worldwide best-of guide. Brooklyn (its name as borough of the city of New York; it is also Kings County, a county of the state of New York), the "Borough of Homes and Churches," is one of the five Boroughs of New York. It used to be and still feels much like a city in its own right, with approximately 2.5 million inhabitants. If separate from the rest of New York City, Brooklyn would be the 4th largest American city.

Average Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Interesting tour

The tour of Brooklyn was a very interesting experience. The tour guide, Laurie, was excellent in her knowledge of the history of the area and entertaining in her delivery. The tour was especially enjoyable since the person with me, who was 83 years old, was born and raised in Brooklyn. The experience brought back many memories.

Great experience!

We were pleasantly surprised at the variety and quality of food we experienced. All stops within reasonable walking distance, and had enough of a taste to appreciate the diverse food groups, while not getting too full. Our guide was very pleasant and knowledgable about the history of the local area. While we live in NYC this was a great experience for us. We would highly recommend it to tourists and locals.

Culinary Tour of Brooklyn

Growing up in Newark NJ I never really got to experience NY and Brooklyn. Thankfully because of my kids and their generous gift to me I got to enjoy the food, sights and sounds of Brooklyn. I so much enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it. It was definitely a trip around the world. Our tour guide Isaac was so friendly and he had a wealth of information to share with us All in all it was a great day and Isaac deserves many thanks. I look forward to booking another tour with you again.....in fact I 'm, putting it on my Christmas and Birthday List. Its a great gift.

Wonderful tour!!

I got this for my mom as a birthday gift since she grew up in Brooklyn and had been talking about going back to explore the area. What a great way to do that! We both had an amazing time. The food choices were perfect - we thought we'd either be stuffed or starving but it was just right - and we both loved learning the little bits of history that our tour guide Isaac would impart on us throughout the tour. Overall, it was a great experience, and we're not only going to recommend it to friends, but we'll probably be doing it again ourselves!

Great Tour

This was a fun way to spend a day in New York City. Visited some fabulous eateries that we would never have found otherwise, ate some very yummy food, and tried things that we had only ever heard about. But more than a food tour, this was a cultural tour of Brooklyn. We explored some extremely interesting neighborhoods, drove through areas that looked like they were from the movies, and learned about the history and culture of an amazing borough.

Review of Culinary Tour of Brooklyn For Two

We had the greatest time being chauffeured around town! As life-time New Yorkers, we walked in neighborhoods and saw parts of New York where we've never been and tasted food that we've never had. In fact, there will be repeat visits to some of the stops. Our tour guide, Isaac, was terrific! His historic background of the areas added so much to the experience and he was also very entertaining to listen to throughout the tour. It was also very nice being in a small group of seven people so we got to meet and talk to people from other countries (we were the only New Yorkers!). We highly recommend this tour!

Thank you for a wonderful expierence in Brooklyn. This was a gift for my day and he loved it. The culinary foods and the views of all the different parts of Brooklyn was really nice. I recomend this tour to anyone who wants to see and do something ordinary. Our tour guide was great! So go have some fun in Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Culinary Tour

I have read reviews and think yeah right someone was probably paid to write that. Well, no one has paid me anything. Our guide he was great, told us interesting things about Brooklyn history & it's people. The food we had on this tour was wonderful. My favorite was the knish my husbands was the Cuban sandwich but everything as SO good it's hard to pick a true favorite. I would do this tour again and hope that Issac would be the guide. Thanks for a great time - it was the perfect gift for my husband!

Great Tour

I consider myself a pretty savvy traveler, taking many tours over the world. Consider this one of the best. Very informative guide, just enough facts and detail, not to make your eyes glaze over. Interesting group of people, more food than I expected, and the time flew by with new sights, smells, and tastes. Highly recommended.

Excellent Tour!

The tour guide, Isaac was terrific. Extremely knowledgeable of the architecture, history, background of the neighborhoods. He was friendly, engaging, great sense of humor and made the tour one of the more enjoyable afternoons we've spent in quite some time. The variety of restaurants and neighborhoods kept it interesting and being able to visit areas of NYC that we never would have been able to see on our own really opened up our eyes to the wonderful offerings beyond our known 'haunts'. Again, I recommend the tour, recommend - and commend - Isaac for being a wonderful tour guide and host.

Brooklyn Foodie Tour

We had a great time learning about Brooklyn and really enjoyed the different types of foods we sampled. The Polish sausage and apple pancakes were fantastic and the chocolate from Jacques Torres was the best! Issac did a fantastic job guiding the tour with his knowledge of the history of the area. I would definately recommend it.

Culinary Tour of Brooklyn

Our experience day was wonderful. We are from Pa and when we venture to N.Y. we tend to stay in Manhattan. We've wanted to get to other boroughs and this was a great way to do it. Our tour guide,Issac, was fantastic. As a native New Yorker he was certainly knowledgeable and a great ambassador for the city. The driver got us through town seamlesly. I notice your heading calls it culinary tour which it is more so than a gormet tour which our tickets called it which it was not. We loved our day and would refer it to anyone.

tour of Brooklyn

I searched for something special for our thirteenth wedding anniversary and thought I'd found it when I stumbled across the Experience Days web site. My wife and I had moved away from CT many moons ago and hadn't really gotten a chance to re-acquaint with NY since our return. What a way to go! We had an absolutely terrific time/Experience! (Get it?) I am not sure what the average American would have rated it, but I rate it a 5 out of five because it really did it for us. It showed us a very broad cross-section of the city while keeping it to a very manageable area. There is NO WAY to capture all the aspects of New York's (or even Brooklyn's) cullinary repertoire and relevant history in 3.5 hours. I wish I had 3.5 days.

An interesting insight into Brooklyn

We booked the tour prior to leaving Australia in April and visited Turkey, Greece, Paris and Frankfurt before arriving in New York 2 days before the tour. Having experienced a diverse range of ethnic cuisines en-route, it was a delight to sample the varied range of food and wine, as well as experience the cultural diversity encountered in Brooklyn. It was a fabulous tour and Isaac was an excellent host. We enjoyed every moment, and would certainly recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York, and wanting to do something totally different. This Brooklyn food tour was very memorable to us and stands out as something that we very much enjoyed taking part in.

Brooklyn Food Tour- Eating out the traditional way

We really enjoyed our day in Brooklyn, seeing and tasting our way round the parts of New York not usually visited by tourists. It was good that we were in a small group (6) as we bonded quite quickly and were able to visit the various small eateries without overwhelming the establishments themselves. I particularly liked the Torres chocolate shop and the knishes and the cholent and the Cuban sandwich was amazing. It was good to be informed by a native New Yorker who really knew his stuff and weaved the MPV adeptly through the streets. We felt completely relaxed and comfortable the whole time we were with him. After we made our Brooklyn trip ,our son came to join us in New York for two days on his way back to the UK from San Francisco and we enthusiastically told him about all that we had seen - he was so impressed that he hired a bicycle and toured Brooklyn on his own and saw some of the sights that we saw - though of course he didn't have the benefit of our lovely tour guide or taste the food. The sights, the sounds and tastes have left a favorable lasting impression. If I am lucky enough to return to New York in the near future I will definitely do this again.

cullinary tour of brooklyn

Tourguide, Isaac, was great and FULL of all kinds of facts and figures on history of NY and Brooklyn. Great background info which was helpful to understand area. Food encountered was not especially great - emphasis was on traditional food, not necessarily GOOD food. But good cross section. One exception as a suggestion is to add Italian food. How can one have cullinary tour of Brooklyn and NOT have covered Italian food? A bit too much on the Jewish food, and add Italian would be my vote.

Question: I would like to purchase the Culinary Tour of Brooklyn for my daughters who will be taking a trip to NY. How much food will be served on the tour? Should I set up lunch reservations after the tour for them?

Answer: There are 6 generous tasting on the tour. For most people it is enough for a full meal and you will not need to have lunch after the tour.
Question: I'm looking for a good experience gift for a friend who uses a wheelchair. Is this tour wheelchair accessible?

Answer: Unfortunately because of the amount of stairs and narrow unequal walkways, this tour is wheelchair accessible.
Question: I was going to purchase my parents a gift certificate for the Culinary Walking Tour of Brooklyn for their anniversary. How strenuous is the tour?

Answer: There are stairs and some narrow walkways to negotiate, but all of the long distances are covered by the bus so the amount of actual walking is minimal.
Question: My wife and I received this tour, will they make substitutions for vegetarians?

Answer: They will do their best but can't guarantee they'll be able to at all of the stops on the tour. Please let us know if you have any vegetarians in your party when booking your reservation.
Question: Does this tour get cancelled often for rain?

Answer: The tour operates rain or shine. If the weather calls for rain be sure to bring an umbrella.
Question: Does the tour begin and end at the same location?

Answer: The last stop on the tour is near the base of the Brooklyn Bridge. The bus will take you back to the starting point if you wish. If you'd like to get off in Brooklyn some people choose to walk back across the bridge to Manhattan.
