I enjoyed the Brooklyn Navy Yard Tour. Our tour guide, Doug, was very informative and made the tour fun. I would recommend the tour to anyone interested in military history and for anyone interested in the present day happenings at the Navy Yard.

We went with my book club after reading Manhattan Beach, which takes place in the yard during WWII. Andrew, our guide, was fantastic. We learned so much about our own back yard. My husband also thoroughly loved it.
