5.00Laurie and I believe the drivers name was Juan when I tell you these two are a dynamic duo. Laurie is very knowledgeable about the city old and new. While Juan provides a smooth trasition between boroughs. The tour takes about 4hours. The ride is smooth, and the food is delectable. You genuinely don't want to miss out on such a great experience Hey you two YOU ROCK THANKS AGAIN

5.00This was a great tour. Laurie was a great tour guide. We had delicious food at many stops. We had falafel, kielbasa, peirogies, empanadas, chocolate, pizza and cannolis! I’m stuffed!! We saw a lot of great neighborhoods and heard great history and stories about the area. It was a great day. I highly recommend.
Fun and educational

5.00Laurie and her crew took us through several charming neighborhoods in Brooklyn, e.g., Cobble Hill, Carrol Gardens, etc. besides the well-known DUMBO, Williamsburg, and Downtown Brooklyn. She filled us in with the history of these neighborhoods and LES Manhattan, news about the cultural events, and numerous anecdotes. Her humor and enthusiasm were contagious. I learned much more about Brooklyn in 4 hours than in several self-guided walks combined. As to the culinary highlights of the tour, hands down the empanada and pierogies. If I may have one suggestion, please consider replacing the pizza stop with another ethnic food joint for the element of surprise it brings. Last, a shout-out to Laurie and Mohammad: thank you very much for the wonderful experience!
Awesome experience with terrific food

5.00What a great experience. Laurie really knows her stuff and it shows. Traveled in comfort to some cool areas of Brooklyn where you can’t easily reach by subway/ walking. Laurie found culinary gems where we ate like kings. Can’t say enough good things about the tour. Just a wonderful time. Thank you. 18 thumbs up from the 9 of us who were able to join.

5.00This Brooklyn food tour was such a highlight of our trip! Each stop was carefully chosen and absolutely delicious, with foods I probably wouldn’t have thought to try otherwise. What really made it special was our guide—she was so kind, engaging, and full of fascinating local knowledge. She went out of her way to be thoughtful and accommodating to my disability, which made the experience feel inclusive and stress-free. It was the perfect blend of learning, tasting, and fun—I’d recommend it to anyone, whether you’re new to Brooklyn or a longtime local!
Great way to experience Brooklyn!!
