Just did the Bensonhurst Food Tour, and wow!

I went on the Bensonhurst Food Tour with my friends last weekend and it was such a delicious experience! We met at Seth Low Park and were immediately greeted with the best Korean-Uzbek appetizers. 😋 The guide, Jim, was super knowledgeable and took us to these hidden gems in the neighborhood. The Georgian food was a highlight for sure, and the cannoli from Villabate Alba? To die for! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun way to explore Brooklyn's food scene!

Considering the Bensonhurst Food Tour as a gift - thoughts?

I’m thinking about getting the Bensonhurst Food Tour for my parents as a birthday gift. They love trying new foods and exploring different neighborhoods, but do you think it’s suitable for their age (they're in their early 60s)? Also, is it easy to navigate around Bensonhurst? Any tips?
