Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo and The Bridge

Overview
A private walking tour to explore one of the most historic neighborhoods of New York City – Brooklyn Heights with Dumbo and the Brooklyn Bridge. During the Tour, we will enjoy unparalleled views over the Manhattan Skyline and the New York Bay right from the Brooklyn Promenade Park. We will be walking along tree-lined streets with some of the most gorgeous townhomes in the city and we will learn how Brooklyn Heights transformed over the past 200 years. We will have plenty of opportunities for photos and to learn how this area, and the city, has changed throughout the centuries adapting to new challenges. A tour that can be equally enjoyed by first-time and returning visitors as it focuses on hidden gems, fun facts and anecdotes.

Our tour guide Irene made this a day to remember. We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work. The tour lasted approx 2.5hrs but it went so quick. Irene was so knowledgeable and lovely. We are both in our 60's and Irene made the pace of the walk comfortable for us to enjoy and take in views. There are plenty of opportunities for photos and questions. At the end of the tour Irene even made sure we knew how to get back to our hotel. If you are thinking about this tour just do it you will not be disappointed. THANK YOU IRENE
