Best tour because it was interesting and fun. Irene was adept at personalizing everything to each of the three of our interests. And we had so much fun learning history, seeing exquisite architecture and learning the inside scoop about the places we toured. I’m a New Yorker and I can’t to tour with Irene again and recommend her to all my friends

Irene was such a wealth of knowledge about the area, and she imparted it with such a friendly and open vibe - it was like going for a walk with a friend! The area is full of interesting sights and history. Jane’s carousel was a lovely highlight. Brooklyn Heights architecture is lovely and the walk across the bridge itself is panoramic. I am mid fifties and found the distance walked and pace at which we did so was very easy to do. I can thoroughly recommend this tour with Irene.

So interesting and so much fun…I can’t wait to do another one. As a New Yorker I was amazed at the skill Irene has to tailor an experience that was great for several people and one from Australia. Want the inside scoop? Ask Irene. Irene is knowledgeable, kind and fun. I look forward to requesting her and recommending her.
