The Brooklyn Way

1 / 9

Overview

Discover two of NYC's most picturesque neighborhoods: Brooklyn Heights & DUMBO, in one epic tour! Feast your eyes on the amazing array of architectural styles along our stroll and learn about the pivotal role Brooklyn played in NYC and American history.

On this tour, you will discover many hidden gems and hear interesting stories about the influential people and celebrities who have lived in Brooklyn, past and present. Learn about Brooklyn's special legacy in the fight for the human rights of liberty, justice and equality, as this is another highlight of the tour.

I am also a skilled photographer and happy to capture some beautiful pictures of you and your group and there are many sweet photo opportunities along the way, especially as we walk the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. My goal is for this experience to be one of your favorite NYC memories!
