Carroll Gardens Tours

Our tour guide Laurie was great. The tour was fun and the food was delicious!

Wonderful experience of the history, culture and cuisine. A wonderful guide in Laurie who kept us on schedule and made the best of the travel. Highly recommended trip.

Fantastic experience! Dave was super knowledgeable and patient with us, so we could do this tour in our own pace and had sufficient time to enjoy each and every minute. Thanks a lot!

Tour was a great way walk Brooklyn and get the tour of the hidden pizza gems of Brooklyn and differ r styles of doughs, sauces , cheeses, and cooking styles. Our your guy Ed was knowledgeable on pizza and did great job guiding the tour!

Dave’s the bomb! Super nice guy, and had fun facts to share about NYC and Brooklyn. He took extra care on food stops as we had a member of our party with a severe food allergy.

My husband and I attended one of Scott’s pizza tours in 2014 and when we returned to NYC this summer to visit our daughter and her husband, we knew we had to do it again. Scott was as passionate about pizza as he was back then. He is literally a walking encyclopedia about anything involving pizza and incredibly engaging and personable (he remembers everyone’s name) as is Nate the other guide who was on our tour. It is a great way to see the neighborhoods in Brooklyn. What is especially fun is the pizza rating booklet that Scott has created to rate the cheese, sauce and crust of the pizzas you try. It is a delicious and super fun day. Highly recommend!

This was an excellent touir and although the food asect was terrific and fun, how she weaved in infofrmation about the history of NYC and so many interesting facts about neighborhoods. My wife and I highly recommend thiss toru.

Laurie was an excellent guide. She was so friendly and very knowledgeable. Great experience snd excellent food choices. I would recommend this tour for everyone.

Wonderful experience with a highly knowledgeable guide. He was friendly, engaging, and really brought the tour to life. The group pizza discussions were a fun and refreshing way to hear everyone’s opinions—it added a nice interactive touch to the tour.

I am indeed a New York City local and I highly recommend adding this activity to your list of things to do, as a tourist or a local! Dave was a great guide with a positive attitude, tailoring our experience based on us being locals. Truly enjoyed learning not only the history but also current facts on the expansion of neighborhoods like Williamsburg and Greenpoint along the East River. Lastly, tasty lunch and comfortable bikes!

I had an amazing and personalized experience in the middle of the winter season - the sun showed up and followed us all the way to Brooklyn bridge, Dumbo, Domino park, Williamsburg, Brooklyn heights and other places along the way. Halfway through I had a great everything-flexitarian-bagel at Russ and Daughters.Plenty of time was given for questions as well as historical anecdotes and photo-stops with views in front of for example Manhattan, but also Steiner studios.As the only bike tour in Brooklyn from a local’s perspective, Original NYC gave me a glimpse of what it has been to live in the borough historically as well as how it is in 2025.I doubt I could have had a better tour in Brooklyn in January or at all during my first visit ever to NYC. Tusen tack! /David

Christa was an amazing host. She was full of enthusiasm and interesting information explaining the differences in the pizza places we visited. She knew everyone by name and loved all of our feedbacks. I highly recommend this tour You won’t be dissatisfied!!

Laurie and I believe the drivers name was Juan when I tell you these two are a dynamic duo. Laurie is very knowledgeable about the city old and new. While Juan provides a smooth trasition between boroughs. The tour takes about 4hours. The ride is smooth, and the food is delectable. You genuinely don't want to miss out on such a great experience Hey you two YOU ROCK THANKS AGAIN

Laurie was wonderful !! Very fun tour guide and great spots that she took us to. Pizza was delish!!!

This was a great tour. Laurie was a great tour guide. We had delicious food at many stops. We had falafel, kielbasa, peirogies, empanadas, chocolate, pizza and cannolis! I’m stuffed!! We saw a lot of great neighborhoods and heard great history and stories about the area. It was a great day. I highly recommend.

Laurie and her crew took us through several charming neighborhoods in Brooklyn, e.g., Cobble Hill, Carrol Gardens, etc. besides the well-known DUMBO, Williamsburg, and Downtown Brooklyn. She filled us in with the history of these neighborhoods and LES Manhattan, news about the cultural events, and numerous anecdotes. Her humor and enthusiasm were contagious. I learned much more about Brooklyn in 4 hours than in several self-guided walks combined.As to the culinary highlights of the tour, hands down the empanada and pierogies. If I may have one suggestion, please consider replacing the pizza stop with another ethnic food joint for the element of surprise it brings.Last, a shout-out to Laurie and Mohammad: thank you very much for the wonderful experience!
