A unique Brooklyn experience! - Rachel is an incredible tour guide!! I learned so much about Brooklyn history, and I loved the way Rachel wove her family history into the tour. The tour felt like such a unique experience that I could not get elsewhere. Rachel knew so much about the neighborhood and was able to answer any question that came up with ease! The food was absolutely outstanding and I loved the emphasis on location businesses that give back to the community. The Yemeni coffee shop was unlike anything I had experienced before and I could tell that the ingredients on the pizza were extremely high quality. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone- locals and visitors alike will enjoy!!

Williamsburg Food and History Tour (Guide: Rachel) - Rachel is very passionate about Brooklyn and its history, and this absolutely comes through in her explanations of the Williamsburg neighbourhood. She is a regular customer at her three hand-selected food stops and has a great knowledge of the histories of each business. I can't recommend this experience enough!
