Worth every penny. DO IT!

This was a FANTASTIC way to fully understand and appreciate the building of the Brooklyn Bridge, its incredible history, and the creation of the DUMBO area. Our local guide, Daniel, was extremely knowledgeable, and engaging, and personable. The 2.5 hour walking tour was worth every penny spent!

I liked the trip very much, super recommendable

I really enjoyed the tour, the guide was super friendly and polite (Charles). I would totally recommend him. One of the best guides I’ve ever had. Also the places were great. The size of the group was perfect, we weren’t many people so was really nice and comfortable.
