About this activity

Explore two of NYC’s most beautiful neighborhoods on a lively stroll through Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO, combining spectacular views, remarkable architecture, hidden gems, and fascinating stories.

We’ll begin in historic Brooklyn Heights, walking past beautiful brownstones while discovering the people and events that helped shaped America. Hear stories about artists, writers, entrepreneurs, activists, and celebrities who have called Brooklyn home.

From there, we’ll make our way to DUMBO, a former industrial hub transformed into one of NYC’s most vibrant waterfront districts. Along the way, we’ll stroll the Promenade, enjoying iconic views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan skyline, and New York Harbor.

Your guide is a skilled photographer and will happily take complimentary photos of you and your group at some of the best photo spots.

More than a sightseeing tour, this is a chance to discover the history, architecture, people, and unexpected stories that make Brooklyn so special.
