Irene was a great tour guide... showing us around Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo and crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. The tour is a nice change from touring Manhattan and seeing what Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo is like. Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge was also nice!

Irene was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating, We really enjoyed her tour. We were initially hesitant to do a private tour because of the cost, but it was worth it. We hope we can do another tour with her!!

A great walking tour with our guide Irene! The tour felt more like a walk and conversation with a new friend. Lots of great history and information but also really entertaining! Awesome way to spend 2.5 hours and see a new part of New York (for us). We would definitely do another tour with this company and our guide.
