Thank you Rori for an informative, fun and friendly tour. The photo opportunities were incredible and we were left in DUMBO armed with information on where to eat, shop and how to access transport back to Manhattan.

We lucked out in February with this tour. It was a nice sunny day and 45 degrees. If it would have been cold, windy or rainy this tour would have been a different story. The tour starts in Manhattan and our guide Rory gave us a lot of information about the Tweed court house, city hall and the history of corruption involving “Boss Tweed” in NY politics. She then talked about the history of the Brooklyn Bridge and we walked the bridge stopping 2 x on the bridge for more information. Be prepared to walk on the crowded bridge which is a mile long. It is usually very windy on the bridge making it feel a lot colder so dress warm! Rory was great about keeping the group together and waited for everyone to catch up in places that we could easily see her. The tour continued to DUMBO area of Brooklyn and she gave us lots of information on the architecture as well as restaurant ideas and history of the area. Loved everything about this tour. Very informative and Rory was well prepared and easy to hear since she used a microphone. 2.5 hours long and well worth the price. Highly recommend this tour but beware of the weather!
