Ian_D

Our tour guide was very pleasant and highly knowledgeable. She showed us four very different and contrasting districts of Brooklyn, explaining the history of each one. Well worth the price of the tour.

Sally_B

It was all excellent and we learnt so much about how the different areas of Brooklyn have changed over time. The ultra orthodox Jewish enclave was especially interesting. But it was the mixture of cultures and history plus hearing about the introduction of modern developments that was fascinating. It was all presented so well by our guide,Dani. It could not have been better. We covered so much and using the subway between some areas worked very well.A highly recommended tour.

John_P

Dani gave a great panorama of Brooklyn neighborhoods, with a lot of insights into how the city is ever changing and its consequences. Unfortunately, we had to drop off about halfway, due to some health problems, so we missed out on more good sights. Hopefully we can return sometime to see the rest.

Kaitlin_T

The best tour I’ve done in NYC. Dani is so knowledgeable and passionate about her community. Even those who have been to Brooklyn before will learn something new. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. Thanks for a great day Dani

This tour is the perfect introduction to Brooklyn if you have no idea where to start, like we did. You get to visit five (very) different neighbourhoods about which the guide is very knowledgeable and also on hand with personal recommendations depending on where you’re staying and what you like doing. Considering it’s a half day tour I thought it was excellent value for money and it’s also a great way to get your steps in!

After having been to NYC a few times, I finally wanted to explore Brooklyn in detail and stumbled upon Dani's wonderful 5-hour Brooklyn Walking Tour. Dani is a very experienced tour guide, she comes from Germany but has lived in NYC for years - and this knowledge is evident in the tour at all times. And so Dani leads her guests through a total of 5 neighborhoods in Brooklyn that couldn't be more different. From the breathtaking waterfront in Williamsburg to the cool street art in Bushwick, to an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood, to the iconic brown sandstone houses in Cobble Hill and the fantastic view of the skyline in Brooklyn Heights - where the tour ends not far from DUMBO. A very warm and friendly Dani leads us through all of these neighborhoods and their special features with her incredible competence and at the same time exciting way of telling stories. She shows pictures in between and provides impressive insider information, funny and sad stories and a huge number of valuable and exciting anecdotes. She is attentive and incredibly charismatic. You can feel how much she loves her city and what she does there - and that is really important to me as a guest. I would never have found all these great and exciting spots on my own. I felt included in every spot and got to know great and incredibly varied locations. I received tons of information, but never felt overwhelmed or bored and I learned a lot about Brooklyn. It's worth it. I'm totally fascinated and this tour was a highlight of my trip. Absolutely recommended, definitely book it.

Die Tour war super geplant und gut geführt. Die 3 Ubahnfahrten haben es ermöglicht viele Facetten von Brooklyn zusehen. Die 4,5 h sind wie im Flug vergangen.
