Top Brooklyn Historical Tours

"This was by far the best tour we’ve been on - Angelo, the guide was so knowledgeable and really kept the pace pleasant and the information given complemented the excellent food - was an afternoon very well spent!"

"The whole tour was great. I learned a lot about how Williamsburg once looked and how and why it is the way it is today. Great tour guide."

"We had the most fantastic day, interesting stories and great history of the different districts of Brooklyn. Frank answered all our questions(of which there were many) and helped us understand the way Brooklyners think. Would love to repeat the tour with this company when they have famous people from Brooklyn. Highly recommend to home wanting to see how this part of the city came to be."

"The leader was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Seeing the Tennis Club was so surprising, I just loved all the areas we visited. The architecture was stunning. Also enjoyed meeting the other members of the group."

"Had a wonderful experience with Melina from Walks - she was very friendly and shared many stories. The tour included admissions and we visited the Acropolis and Ancient Agora (and walked through the Plaka in between). We were also given a headset. Be prepared with walking shoes, lots of water, and a hat."

"Hannah was the best tour guide. She made the tour so interesting with history of the bridge and the area of Brooklyn. So fun walking up on the bridge and taking photos. The food part of the tour was delicious and filling."

"Paul is a fantastic tour guide. The food at each stop was delicious and a great sampling of what Brooklyn has to offer!!! A fun time was had by all! You have got to do this tour!"

"The lights and decorations are very impressive (and a little bit ridiculous in places). We could have walked round and seen them ourselves, but it was better as a tour because our guide knew where the best houses were, and told us information and stories."

"A really funny and informative tour. Jeff was really nice and was full of information. There was so much street art to see"

"The Sharks Exhibit I like the the set upwhen you walk in the sharks we're swimming over your head the water so clean and clear you can see the beautiful colors of all the fish and the place smell like the ocean and not chlorine"

"a real treat - our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and funny we covered a lot of ground in terms of writers and the neighborhood itself this tour would be a bargain at twice the current price T. Paul - Columbus OH"

"We enjoyed this tour a lot. Our guide John has a lot of knowledge of the bridge and its history. He will take you to the best spots for pictures and he will share a lot of great and interesting information. Thank you John, we had a very good time and you were great!"

"This tour was a fun way to see Brooklyn with a knowledgeable guide. John our tour guide was interesting and had a great love of Brooklyn. The bikes were high quality."

"Just walking around and finding out information about some key historical events in the US. My guide was extremely intelligent and knowledgeable. I learnt a lot also about the subway system and New York. I would have liked more historical focus on Black American history but when I asked about it my guide was able to tell me about it."

"A tour for thé lover of the off the beaten path. I had seen the Brooklyn Army Terminal both from the BQE and the NYC Ferry and knew there must be a story there, too immense not to have been important for something at some point in history, but assumed its glory days were somewhere in NY’s past. That, I found out, was both true and false. Because it was a cold and rainy day, and precisely because the BAT is off the beaten path, I was the sole participant that day and so instead of having to hold all my questions and thoughts to myself as one usually does on tours, I was able to walk and talk with Andrew, my guide. I found him to be thoroughly steeped in the history and lore of the BAT, and after my two hour visit, I came away knowing much more about a place that was very important to America’s war effort in WWII. And continues to play a role in the development of New York City. I’ll leave it to you to take the tours and fill in the blanks for yourself. Highly recommend!"

"Thomas was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. I’ve lived in NYC for more than 15 years and I learned a LOT! We will definitely recommend to friends and family that they take a tour with Thomas!"

"Our guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable about beer and pizza! We walked around for 3 hours and had wonderful conversation."
