Reviews
Wonderful to do in the evening, less crowded. Good for all ages, even kids. Hits all the major sights.
We did an early morning tour with Lorenzo. This was definitely the highlight of our quick stop in DC on the way home from Spring Break. Lorenzo was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. The 7 am tour was perfect for photos of all monuments and buildings! There was no one around and traffic was minimal!
Dr. Cook was fantastic. Would definitely book with them again. He was fun and extremely knowledgable. would highly recommend.
Traveler reviews
Great food tour!
James was great. Easy to hear, very informed about the history, neighborhoods, and the foods we ate. All of the stops were small, local places that are important to the Brooklyn vibe. A wide variety of foods, ending with delicious chocolate gelato and candy.
James is a rockstar!
James was phenomenal he was so sweet and so knowledgeable. I’ve lived in Brooklyn my whole life and hadn’t known so much about Brooklyn. The places we stopped by were so cool and the food so delicious. I can’t wait to stop by again.
O.K. Experience
Not the best experience. Guide should use a headset mic as we could not hear her very well. Food portions were small (1/4 of a bagel, half a croissant?). This 3 hour tour turned into 3 1/2 hours as the guide talked too much.
Brooklyn Delights
Our tour guide, Brian Hoffman was excellent. He was knowledgable and personable. We learned a lot about local food and Brooklyn history, and had some yummy eats. We enjoyed the tour very much.
