It was great! Lots of food and our tour guide Laurie was really good. You could tell she loves her job!!

— Michelle W, New York | Dec 03, 2017

Rick is excellent at his job. It was a pleasure to be on his tour. Thanks again.

— Francis L, New York | May 27, 2017

This tour was a highlight of our trip to New York. Rick was a fabulous guide being knowledgeable, friendly and witty. We had only expected to learn about the culinary variety of Brooklyn, but came away having learned so much of the city's history, culture and social development. The food was great but that was only a part of the experience, which left us satiated but hungry for more!

— Hazel D, New York | Apr 25, 2017

There were so many choices, but we narrowed it down to visit Brooklyn in 4-5 hours with tasting food. It was pricey but worth it. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and we loved his choices of food. Actually later we went to Little Italy [on our own] to try some food like pizza, cannoli and they were not the same. Apart from food, they notified and reminded me of the tour which is nice, and they were accurate in their schedule. Me and my husband were so happy with the tour. People on our tour were friendly too, which was nice .

— Rama A, New York | Oct 04, 2016

We thought the experience and guide was interesting, entertaining and fun. We would recommend it to anyone interested.

— Barbara R, New York | Jul 18, 2016

Rick was our tour guide. He was very pleasant and professional. He had a good knowledge of the things we were seeing and was entertaining. He maintained good control of the large group and kept us on track without being overly controlling. I thought this was a good tour, although I don't know that it is a good "foodie" tour. It felt like more of a Brooklyn tour that you happen to eat on. The bus was very nice, and the driver did a great job as well. I would also suggest that the instructions to "print out the email confirmation" be removed, as that did not seem to be needed. Each email confirmation is three pages, and we had 6 in our party. That's a lot of needless paper being used. No one in the tour was asked to turn these in.

— Andrea W, New York | Mar 27, 2016

Loved it. Our guide and driver were knowledgeable and friendly. The food was delicious. It was great fun.

— Edward F, New York | Nov 28, 2015

The narrative was informative and fun. The food experience was yummy and well-planned.

— Elisa N, New York | Nov 11, 2015

Our guide was wonderful. Very informative, friendly and fun. All the food samples were delicious. I have already recommended this tour to friends.

— Karen P, New York | Sep 29, 2015

Richard Bennett (guide) did a great job... courteous, knowledgeable, professional and extremely caring to the customer. Well done for a very nice day.

— Marie A, New York | Sep 28, 2015

My son bought me this tour for my birthday, and I didn't know what to expect. Being from LI, I wasn't over-joyed to travel to the city for the tour. It turned out to be the best experience we ever had! Laurie was an awesome guide and knew more about Brooklyn than a native New Yorker. Joseph maneuvered the crowded streets with ease, and we were all very comfortable. I wish you had more city tours. Thank you for providing a memorable experience. I highly recommend this tour, even if you are a local!

— Denise M, New York | Jul 21, 2015

Well done.

— Kyle B, New York | Jun 30, 2015

Rick was an excellent guide -- knowledgeable and personable. He made sure everyone was enjoying the tour and that we all interacted with each other. Food was OK. We started with a delicious rugelach and followed that with very good Polish food. The remainder of the food was adequate, but not nearly as good as the first two stops. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather, which really enhanced the tour since we were able to enjoy sitting in Sunset Park, admiring the view and doing the same in Brooklyn Heights.

— Art L, New York | Jun 28, 2015

Great tour with so many varied ethnic areas and food. We had a great time, learned a lot, and ate a lot! Perfect way to see the large area of Brooklyn and learn about it.

— Tori M, New York | Jun 21, 2015

We had a wonderful time on the Best of Brooklyn Food Tour with Rick! The food was delicious, and Rick was an excellent guide sharing information not only about the food, but also about Brooklyn and the broader NYC area. I would highly recommend this experience!

— Kate M, New York | Jun 15, 2015

A positive experience for persons unfamiliar with Brooklyn. Met folks from other countries and found we shared many common experiences in love of travel and learning about new places.

— Mary M, New York | May 30, 2015

Loved this tour. Our guide (Lori) was great and very knowledgeable. Jimmy (the driver) was great. A nice variety of food was on the tour.

— Gina N, New York | Apr 20, 2015

Overall a very satisfying tour with plenty to eat and a very knowledgeable and friendly guide.

— Thomas G, New York | Mar 23, 2015

Everything was great. We learned so many interesting facts about the area. Lori was awesome. Everything went smoothly, and we felt that we got more than we expected. Food was good. It was a great experience. I just booked another Cloud 9Living experience for my husband for next year!

— John B, New York | Dec 21, 2014

Very pleased with the tour. Just the right amount of culture and food.

— Philip K, New York | Dec 17, 2014

Everything began in a timely fashion. Isaac, our guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, and gave excellent information to every question asked of him. The organization of the trip, the foods that were planned, the places and friendliness of the staff at each place were excellent choices and made for a wonderful wonderful experience. Thank you for a most enjoyable and memorable day and we will surely recommend this to our friends.

— Elliott W, New York | Nov 08, 2014

Lori was amazing. She made everyone feel so welcome and included. We felt she really put a lot of thought into creating a wonderful experience.

— Jeanne M, New York | Aug 26, 2014

It would be good to end in Dumbo with the beautiful views and chocolates. Ending with Sunset Park was too much food and not as interesting as other places. Maybe start from there and work your way back...have the last stop in Russ and Daughters. Maybe they would do something in their new restaurant...also, it would be nice if an owner or manager welcomes us and say something about their stores. Totally enjoyable day. Tricia

— Patricia K, New York | Jun 14, 2014

It was a great day in New York and Laurie was fun and knowledgeable. It was just the right amount of time to get a good variety of tastes in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. The day was so nice we walked back across the Brooklyn Bridge. Thanks for a great excursion.

— Janet C, New York | May 19, 2014

Our tour guide Laurie was great! We really had a nice time! I would highly recommend the trip

— Tracy S, New York | May 07, 2014

Cloud 9 - The staff were all great - had two or three different people helping me, and one was better than the next. Very accommodating when I needed to change tours and extend times - there was no extra charge - no complaining......everyone was eager to assist! Our tour guide Isaac and driver, James were both exceptional! Both were very professional, yet very personal- Isaac was full of little tid-bits of information that even surprised the New Yorkers! The tour was a gift - and, one of the best gifts that I ever received! I would highly recommend Cloud 9, New York Fun Tours and tour tour guide/driver. The entire package gets an A+ in my book! Thank you all for a very special day!

— Mary Z, New York | May 01, 2014

As a New Yorker, I was thrilled to see and learn about parts of the City and Brooklyn that were unknown to me. The tour guide, Issac, was very friendly, knowledgeable, approachable and a delight. It was a wonderful experience, and I am looking forward to doing something like this tour again.

— Christine B, New York | Apr 18, 2014

our guide, laurie was great! i would have liked more tastings in the lower east side part of the tour. the driver & van were good too. i did think the tour was a little pricey however.

— Marjorie E, New York | Jan 25, 2014

We enjoyed the Food Tour of Brooklyn a great deal. Each experience was unique and fun. It was a good way to get to know the borough I was born in from a different perspective. Polish food, Pizza, Chocolate and Cuban Sandwiches. Greenpoint, Williamsburg, Dumbo and Sunset Park. A little too much driving and not enough walking would be my only concern. Highly recommended.

— Alan L, New York | Nov 15, 2013

Overall the tour was more than expected. The tour guide and driver were great as was all the food

— Bruce L, New York | Aug 25, 2013

Lori our guide, and Al the driver both made the experience enjoyable. Lori took us to a handful of places where we sampled a variety of food. Surprisingly, most everyone had more than enough to eat, and all seemed to enjoy the food selections and the unique establishments we visited.

— Chris B, New York | Aug 06, 2013

Isaac was our tour guide. He was very informative and chose fabulous food for our eating experience. Loved to see the sights and learn things about Brooklyn. Overall it was a very enjoyable day. We were sorry to see the tour end!

— Ellyn M, New York | Jun 23, 2013

It was a memorable experience! I would encourage anyone to go!!

— Domenica R, New York | Jun 22, 2013

Excellent and tasty!

— Raquel L, New York | Jul 11, 2012

The Best of Brooklyn tour spent an hour in Manhattan. I live in Manhattan and I am very familiar with the west village and lower east side. I did not need to visit Yonah Schimmel's when I was looking to experience Brooklyn. But, the spots we hit in Brooklyn were awesome and the guide and driver were excellent. I would recommend the experience for tourists visiting NYC. It is not for locals.

— Bill N, New York | Jun 05, 2012

We had a wonderful time. My only comment would be about the food choices. The places where we stopped were fun but the food a bit heavy and not too healthy. I would rethink the menu alittle. All in all, informative and fun.

— Susan G, New York | May 22, 2012

Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about the area and its history. He made the tour very entertaining and the food come alive. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone and any other food tour that he is guiding.

— Debra F, New York | Nov 29, 2011

You can read my review at "Trip Adviser". It was a wonderful father's day gift from my daughter. Great food, fun and knowledgeable guide and thank you Mother Nature for the perfect day

— Bruce H, New York | Jun 26, 2011

It was a lovely day from beginning to end. Isaac was a truly knowledgeable and friendly guide. As native New Yorkers, my husband and I learned more about Brooklyn than we ever knew. The food, the bus, the other visitors, and our guide, were all perfect. Thank you all.
