I booked a tour with Thomas the first week I moved to Brooklyn Heights to better get to know the area. He not only gave a great tour but was able to answer my questions about the area well. Highly recommend 👍

Tour guide was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of Brooklyn. If you’re ever in the Brooklyn area and want to know more about the city, I definitely recommend having this experience.
