What are people saying about Brooklyn

Williamsburg Food Tasting & Walking Tour

Peter_L, Oct 2026

Great Williamsburg experience!

Great tour of Williamsburg with Paul! We were a small group with our family of three and two others. Very chill tour which was exactly what we wanted. Paul had lots of great info and was super friendly. It felt like we were touring Brooklyn with a good friend. Lots of food from a diverse mix of local places. Don’t be scared when you get off the subway near the meeting spot which is right under the Williamsburg bridge. Williamsburg is very safe and we were well taken care of by Paul. Highly recommend if you want to experience a part of NYC that you might not explore on your own.

We had an absolutely fantastic tour with Mathew and Sunny...They were both incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and brought so much energy to the experience. Mathew shared brilliant insights and historical facts that kept everyone captivated, while Sunny was wonderfully attentive and made sure the entire group felt welcome and well taken care of. They make an amazing team, and their passion made this a major highlight of our trip.

A must have experience

Greg really gave us a local insight that showed the immense depth and history within the neighbor. Seeing how the neighborhood had evolved with the historical buildings around it. Exposing us to the local food spots that also carry their own history was a joy to experience. He really showed a massive insight of knowledge of the area and the joy it gave him to share the experience with us

The amazing DC & Niagara tour!

It was an amazingly managed tour from Jupiter Legend. Jay is super fun, caring and very experienced tour leader. I absolutely loved the factual tidbits he gave along the way and how he always checked in to make sure we were doing okay. I would absolutely recommend this tour!!

Half-Day Sightseeing Tour of Brooklyn

Kathryn_D, Aug 2026

Comprehensive overview into different Brooklyn neighborhoods

This is a wonderful and tour of several neighborhoods in Brooklyn, including a few that most tourists don't venture into. Dani has put together a very thoughtful (and busy) half day jaunt that showcases the history of the borough, as well as what living there now looks like for different communities of people. There is a good amount of walking and several subway/bus rides to cover a lot of ground, but there is a quick stop for a slice of pizza or snack at a cafe which is appreciated. Having lived in NYC a long time ago I was very interested in learning more about Brooklyn today (as it has changed a lot) and this was perfect. I recommend this for tourists who want to see the "real" New York and get beyond Manhattan.

Brooklyn Bridge Waterfront Guided Bike Tour

Ellen_S, Jul 2026

Highly recommend this bike tour with Scott!

This is a two hour bike trip with a competent friendly and knowledgeable leader named Scott. Bike and helmet were provided, and Scott adjusted and changed bikes if needed. I am a 70 year old and took this tour with my 2 teenage grandkids and younger brother. I am active but hadn’t been on a bike in decades! Riding the uphill part to cross the Brooklyn Bridge was a bit difficult for me and I walked the bike for a short part of it - but the majority of the ride was flat or downhill. My family had no trouble at all and loved it! Scott was super helpful to me and very kind! We had amazing views of Manhattan, several picture opportunities, and really enjoyed seeing the parks and neighborhoods in Brooklyn. What a great and unique activity! We all loved it. Great for families or couples or solos! If you’re thinking about it- do it!

Our tour guide Jeff was...

Our tour guide Jeff was great. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Jeff constantly checked in the the group to make sure pacing was okay and to see if anyone needed to stop for anything. Jeff adjusted routes and stops based on feedback from the group. We even went a bit longer than scheduled as there was no afternoon tour that day. I really felt I got to see about half a dozen neighborhoods in the west side of Brooklyn. I would estimate the total tour was about 15km with some slight inclines. I wouldn't say it was particularly strenuous though. I would recommend if you want to see alot of Brooklyn in a short time frame.

Janice_M, May 2026

Excellent Tour

As the title says there is a lot of walking on this tour. Greg, our tour guide was excellent; he was organized, highly informative and personable. It seems everyone in the Brooklyn neighborhood knew him. Greg knew the history of the area as well as the best spots to visit after the tour. I highly recommend this tour.

Chef-Led Brooklyn Street-Food Tour in Williamsburg & Greenpoint

Valeria_L, May 2026

One of a Kind…!

Easily one of the best experiences we had in nyc. The food was truly exceptional, from places we never would’ve found on our own. They’re an amazing couple who are clearly care so much about the local businesses. You can tell they actually eat there, know the owners personally, and are genuinely passionate about uplifting the community. It felt more like hanging out with friends who know all the best spots than being on a tour. We left completely full and already recommending it to people. Valeria and Francois Lebourq
