Amazing DUMBO Brooklyn Bridge tour

Liam was an absolutely amazing tour guide. He was friendly, kind, and super informative. The tour had a mixture of facts and great story telling. You can tell Liam is passionate about the history and it made for a very enjoyable experience.

I have taken many viator tours and this was one of the best. Our tour guide Emilie was fantastic. Great historian, was able to keep us moving but allowed time for pictures. It was one of my favorite tours--exercise, history, architecture, beauty and fun.

Lovely time with the Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO.

Emily was a first rate guide with such a gift for story telling and keeping a large group engaged. We'd love to continue with every tour in our repertoire!

Shorter than advertised...

Shorter than advertised by 30 minutes, but ready for lunch, so fine. Emily was knowledgeable and told the Brooklyn/NY story lovingly.
