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.
