What To Expect

Brooklyn Heights

We just touch on the southern end of this historic neighborhood and get a sense of how locals shop in the numerous ethnic and immigrant-owned bakeries and restaurants.

Brooklyn Bridge

To start your tour, we’ll make our way up onto this New York City icon for incredible views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Hudson River below (but don’t worry, we’re not walking the whole thing). You won’t want to miss this photo-opp!

Manhattan Bridge

Underneath another of New York’s incredible bridges is the DUMBO Archway. This plaza has recently become a popular public space - hosting public art, festivals, and other community gatherings throughout the year. You’ll enjoy views of the soaring bridge above you.

Dumbo

Throughout your foodie tour, your guide will educate you on the vibrant history of the neighborhoods you’ll be exploring - including DUMBO! This area of Brooklyn is renowned for its art community (who have revitalized the neighborhood in recent years) and it’s high quality food scene! While you taste your way through Brooklyn, you’ll learn all about how the businesses here came to be and how they have formed the lively culture of this area.

Sun was shining, Dumbo was bustling. Our guide, Eric did a fantastic job, he was really engaging and easy going. Good selection of food samples, and plenty of them! A perfect way to spend a few hours delving deeper in to this part of the city. Highly recommend it!

The perfect combination of sightseeing and eating great food. Especially liked the emphasis on local, traditional "Ma and Pa" businesses. Hannah was extremely accommodating to tour participants' preferences - a flexible itinerary so everyone certainly got the most out of the three hours. So nice to have a local New Yorker as tour guide. For me, the start time of day (10am) was the best.

Angelo did a great job of providing a good mix of historical information (particularly about the Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn Heights) with various sampling snacks (bagels, dumplings, fried pickles, pizza and chocolate BON BONS (said in American accent)). He was always focused on ensuring the group had a good time with quality food and his research showed. We really enjoyed the group getting together at the end at the Timeout Market to share a range of foods and the random insights into the area including celebrity sightings. A couple of suggestions for next time: 1- the meeting spot isn't easy to find for those not familiar with the area (the meeting address provided was, somewhat oddly, an apartment building and the address number was under scaffolding so not immediately clear). Perhaps simply meet in the nearby park next to the soccer field or near a landmark like outside the library down the street? 2 - We also thought the tour could've moved a bit quicker at times. It became quite tiring (yet worth it). Thanks for an interesting half-day outside of Manhattan. Give this tour a go!

Hello and thank you for attending our Dumbo tour! We appreciate your feedback. Apologies that our meeting place was a bit tricky to find. To make this simple for travelers, we do have to have an exact address, which unfortunately does not exist in the park across the street. And the construciton on the building has made this tricky. We will look to see how this can be improved upon. We are happy to hear you enjoyed Angelo and the food. We typically have this tour run at 3 hours and sometimes a guide may go a bit over time in his/her efforts to be thorough and create the best possible experience. We will look to see ways to have this stay within the time allocated.
