Full description

So many people visit New York City and never get to see Brooklyn. It's been said that a trip to Brooklyn is like a trip around the world. Find out for yourself on a unique 4.5-hour tour. Explore the ethnic diversity of New York City on a guided tour that’s both a history and a gastronomy lesson. Take a trip back in time in this New York borough that you probably haven’t heard all that much about. New Williamsburg is a neighborhood that’s home to many ethnic groups and a thriving art community. Enjoy a slice of delectable authentic Neapolitan brick-oven thin-crust pizza and a freshly prepared cannoli for dessert. Drive through the ultra-orthodox Hasidic Jewish area where time seems to stand still. Greenpoint features one of largest Polish populations in the United States. Visit a favorite neighborhood eatery that offers up the best kielbasa sausage and pierogies. In the DUMBO area you’ll stop for a sample of delicious chocolate at the Jacques Torres chocolate factory. Visit Brooklyn Bridge Park for a stunning view of the Manhattan skyline.

Our family of 8 had an amazing experience on the tour! Moody and Laurie navigated the congested streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn without a hitch! We learned so much about the history of Brooklyn and the food they selected for the tour was perfect. From the falafel and pierogis, to the pizza and cannoli, we were sufficiently sated afterward. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for something educational, delicious and atypical of the traditional tourist sites! 10 out of 10!
