    A super great learning experience.

    This was a great and very well organized activity. Our guide was simply outstanding. He is knowledgeable, friendly and committed. I really felt I learned a lot about the Hasidic community in this 3 hour tour. I am really happy.

    I had the privilege of...

    I had the privilege of joining Meyer Friedman's Hasidic tour in Crown Heights, and it was one of the most meaningful experiences of my trip to New York. As a member of the Hasidic community himself, Meyer is an incredibly knowledgeable and engaging guide who brings the history, traditions, and daily life of the community to life with warmth, authenticity, and genuine passion. The tour provided fascinating insights that I never would have gained simply by walking around on my own, and it gave me a much deeper appreciation and understanding of the community and its culture. One of the highlights was having the opportunity to meet members of the Hasidic community and hear about their lives firsthand. Those personal interactions made the experience feel genuine and memorable, adding a level of understanding that simply isn't possible from reading a book or watching a documentary. What made the tour especially special was how respectful, personal, and welcoming it felt. It wasn't just a history lesson, it was an opportunity to better understand a way of life that is often misunderstood. I would highly recommend Meyer Friedman's tour to anyone visiting New York who is curious to learn about Hasidic Judaism and Crown Heights. It was an informative, eye-opening, and truly special experience that I'll truly never forget! - Sebastian Moore

    A very engaging tour!

    This is probably the best tour I’ve ever taken. Rabbi Mayer was engaging, personable and really let us see behind the scenes of the Crown Heights orthodox Jewish community. I highly recommend!

    must do!!!!!

    I went for the tour today with my mom (65y), sister, husband and 2 children (7,9). We all loved it! Best walking tour we've ever done. Would highly recommend it. Only about 1.5 hours is spent walking so it was very manageable for all. The guide was engaging, highly knowledgable and had a gentle disposition. We left feeling very privileged to have gotten such rare access to the Hasidic Jewish community and amazed by its members' commitment to the commandments in every facet of their lives. 10 stars! Thank you, Lisa.

    Jewish Brooklyn: Hasidic Walking tour by a local: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Brooklyn.

    How much does Jewish Brooklyn: Hasidic Walking tour by a local cost?

    +

    Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Brooklyn usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Jewish Brooklyn: Hasidic Walking tour by a local take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Brooklyn is not rushed.

    Is Jewish Brooklyn: Hasidic Walking tour by a local worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Brooklyn, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Jewish Brooklyn: Hasidic Walking tour by a local?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Jewish Brooklyn: Hasidic Walking tour by a local suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Jewish Brooklyn: Hasidic Walking tour by a local?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Brooklyn can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Brooklyn and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Jewish Brooklyn: Hasidic Walking tour by a local start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Brooklyn within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Brooklyn?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Brooklyn experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Brooklyn Bridge & DUMBO Food Tour: Local Eats & Iconic Views, The Escape Game Brooklyn: Epic 60-Minute Adventures in City Point, Bushwick Street Art Tour and Williamsburg Lifestyle Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Brooklyn?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Brooklyn?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
