With things returning to life after 2020, it was difficult to find a guided food tour. Luckily, I found this one and they were happy to accommodate me. I knew going into this, that it's probably going to be a bit different with shops and restaurants opening back up, so I kept an open mind. Maurita was extremely helpful with planning since I really had no idea what was available. We went to 2 pizzerias and 2 breweries. Some people like to run through as many as possible, but since it was just the two of us and we were having a great time, I definitely didn't want to rush through anything. The two pizzerias included Vinnie's and Screamer's. The two breweries included Brooklyn Brewing and Keg And Lantern. All of which were unique and showcased two very different sides of their respective craft. Keep in mind, I was a solo traveller and your experience may vary. This is a walking beer and pizza tour, not a history of Brooklyn tour. You're sharing a food and drinking experience with a local resident. You will have a good time because beer and pizza make things better. I'm defiantly looking forward to another return to the area and I will defiantly take this tour again. I would highly recommend it.

Our tour guide, Olga, took us on a fun, well-paced, historical and scenic tour of Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo neighborhoods. So much to see! Olga was knowledgeable, friendly and culturally aware of what makes Brooklyn so special. We highly recommend her to other looking to explore Brooklyn. I want to book a return trip to spend more time in Brooklyn.

This was a girls trip. Myself, my 9 year old daughter, her best friend and her mom. All first timers, except me, and they all fell in love with NYC. And for me who’s been there many times, saw a whole new side to the city and made me love it even more. Our little girls said they would never forget Olga.
