Great adventures with Isaac!

Great value for your money, especially for the 5 hour version. You see so much and the tour is customized to your preferences. The SUV was clean, posh, and comfortable. Isaac was funny and very informative! Went with a friend and our mom's and he treated them so good. I've been coming to NYC for years and saw several things for the first time! I want to visit again and go on his Brooklyn food tour! Don't miss! thank you, ISAAC!🎉
