Gained a Deeper Knowledge

Our tour guide could give us very nuanced answers to our questions. She grew up in this community and has first hand experience. The food was delicious and more than enough..
The perfect unique and interesting experience here in Brooklyn!

This was such a wonderful tour! Frieda is an amazing tour guide and she is incredibly knowledgeable, as she was once a part of the community. Because of this, she has such a unique insight and extensive knowledge. You will learn a huge amount about the culture and customs. Prepare to transport yourself to a different world. It’s intriguing!

Towards the beginning of the tour we stopped and got some delicious pastries from a kosher bakery. I highly recommend trying the chocolate rugelach! We ended the tour at a kosher deli and had some delicious food. I recommend doing the tour on a Friday morning. It’s the Eve of Shabbos and it’s very lively in the neighborhood while everyone is preparing!

Frieda also has a YouTube channel where she posts more content about the Hasidic communities in Brooklyn. Overall such a wonderful experience and I highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic tour of Hasidic Williamsburg. Frieda combines insider knowledge with the viewpoint of someone who has left the community.
Incredibly interesting.

Freida was lovely and she showed a very respectful and fascinating in-site to this very closed community. I had soooo many questions!
"Must do" walking tour of Hasidic Williamsburg

We thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful, entertaining, unique and highly informative tour. Although we had read recent newspaper articles regarding Hasidic communities in New York, we came away from the tour with a much better understanding of Hasidic culture, life and history than we otherwise would have had. Having grown up in a Hasidic community, which she chose to leave, Frieda's understanding of Hasidic life is profound. Moreover, she is very intelligent, articulate and courageous, as well as an excellent and gracious communicator. We had an outstanding experience.
