Description

Experience the real Brooklyn with me! Many people want to visit Brooklyn but just don't know where to start. I am here to change that: I will show you five completely different sides of Brooklyn in five intriguing neighborhoods.

I will introduce you to Brooklyn's history, culture and people, and give you an overview of New York City's most populous borough.

My tour is the most comprehensive Brooklyn tour available - in only five hours, I will show you five completely different parts of this vast borough. You'll get to see how diverse Brooklyn truly is: I will show you classic Brooklyn brownstone architecture as well as the 'hipster' side of Brooklyn, street art and vintage shops, hidden bars, amazing Manhattan views, an Orthodox Jewish community and grand historic homes.

To be able to show you as much of this giant borough as possible, we are using the subway three times on the tour, but this will give you time to sit down and take a break in between exploring the various neighborhoods on foot.

The tour begins in Williamsburg, Brooklyn's hipster neighborhood. From there, we head to artsy Bushwick, where I'll show you some of the best street art in New York City. After that, we visit a Jewish Orthodox community in South Williamsburg before continuing the tour in two Brownstone neighborhoods: Historic Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights. We will end the tour just south of the Brooklyn Bridge.
