Overview

Covering five different neighborhoods, this is the most comprehensive Brooklyn tour available. 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.

You will explore some of Brooklyn's greatest and most fascinating neighborhoods. We will start in hipster Williamsburg, head to artsy Bushwick from there, pay a visit to a Jewish Orthodox community in South Williamsburg and end the tour with a stroll through historic Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights near the Brooklyn Bridge.

To be able to show you as much of this giant borough as possible, we use 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.

There's also a short bathroom / snack / coffee break halfway through the tour.

What's included

  • Photos - I'm happy to take photos of you and your family throughout the tour.
  • Subway tickets are not included. (8.70 USD)
  • There is a stop for a quick snack / coffee halfway through the tour, but food & drinks are not included in the tour price.

  2. Williamsburg
    1h
    The tour starts in trendy Williamsburg, where I'll show you some of the best places to visit in what's also known as Brooklyn's "hipster neighborhood". We'll also talk about gentrification, take in some sweeping Manhattan skyline views and learn more about Brooklyn in general.

Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

The tour starts in front of the Sweet Chick restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The address is 164 Bedford Avenue - one block from the Bedford Ave subway station on the subway line L (just one stop from Manhattan).

End point

The tour ends near the Brooklyn Bridge. After the tour, I usually bring my guests to the subway station that works best for them (there are several subway lines close to the end point of the tour) or to the entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge walkway, if they want to walk the Brooklyn Bridge, or Dumbo.
