A friend and I took the Brooklyn food tour on 12 May. It was a well organised tour that showcased the variety and quality of food to be found in Brooklyn. Our guide was a passionate foodie who knew a lot about the local area and helped us out not only with suggestions for Brooklyn but also for help finding... More

Recently we took the Brooklyn Navy Yard tour. What a great experience. Our guide Andy was excellent. Not only did he know the history of this remarkable place, but was able to answer everyone's questions easily. We took the 2 hour tour although a 1 hour tour is available as well. I recommend the longer tour to see and hear... More

My food truck tour was fantastic! The food was amazing and the guide, Brian, was so knowledgeable about the history of New York and food industry. I can't believe that I walked for over 2 hours sampling. The time went by so quickly. I got to sample foods I had never eaten before and enjoyed each one. It felt like... More

I went on the 2 hour Brooklyn Navy Yard tour and loved it. Great things happening over there and the tour guide gives you some history along with an overview of what's going on now and the plans for the future over there. It was a horrible rainy day when I went and it was still fun. On a beautiful... More

The first was a craft beer crawl through the East Village and the second was a gourmet food cart tour through Midtown. Laura led us on a interesting journey to a... More

My husband and I are New Yorkers and love exploring like tourists. We took the one hour Urban Oyster Tour of Brooklyn Navy Yard and enjoyed every moment. Cindy, our tour guide, was engaging, and very informed. It was exciting to be out on the shores of NY Harbor and to learn so much about this huge shipbuilding facility and... More

Our guide was Nick and he was quite good. His energy level did not flag for the entire time he led us around Brooklyn and his passion for the subject was infectious. More

We toured the Brooklyn Navy Yard (200 acres!) guided by Cindy, a partner in the Urban Oyster tour company. We had a fascinating two-plus hours, partly walking, partly in a bus, learning about the history of the site, its role in war, in manufacturing, and now in start-up companies and film/TV production. Cindy is very bright and has learned the... More

Cindy of Urban Oyster Tours gives an amazing, fun, and factual 2 hour tour of the BNY. Not to be missed, particularly now that so much is changing there. In a few years what is there will not be recognizable with all the changes and modernizations. New York and US history are indelibly linked through this important military and commercial... More
