Fun Experience! - We had such a fun experience walking around Cobble Hill and the neighboring areas of Brooklyn. Not only did our tour guide, Greg, show us various culture-based eateries, but he also shared a wealth of knowledge about their history.

Sara was very... - Sara was very knowledgeable in the history of Brooklyn and gave a lot of interesting insight into the neighborhoods. The food samples were great and there were options for myself, being gluten free, at every stop. I picked the tour for my son (12) who is a foodie and wasn’t expecting to be accommodated at every stop so it was really nice to be included even with a food allergy.

A wonderful Food and Walking Tour of Brooklyn - We had the most wonderful walking and food tour with Mickey. It was amazing to be taken around Brooklyn and Dumbo, and I really loved that we got to learn so much as well as have some really great food. Would massively recommend this tour

Fine. But - The walk and history lessons were interesting. The food was very carb heavy and probably the least volume of food I have ever had over many food tours. 4 of the 5 stops were very tasty, but very small amounts. For instance, a quarter of a bagel, half a slice of pizza, half a croissant, a piece of candy with a tiny taste of hot chocolate. First food tour that I left hungry. Also pace a bit slow, taking 3.5 hours.

Nice tour guide. Decent food. - The food was good but not memorable. We were looking for more historical info and insight into Brooklyn along with a more rich dining experience. A few cookies, half a slice of pizza and a mouthful of hot chocolate plus one or two other bites was all good but nothing to write home about. I would have loved more quintessential NY food.
