ブルックリンハイツ：ニューヨーク市初の郊外

Andrew and Brooklyn Heights rock! You never really see how amazing your neighborhood is until someone starts pointing things out. Andrew pointed out so much. History, architecture, stories, urban legends. You can tell he really loves Brooklyn Heights and has spent a lot of time studying it and researching it. Every time we turned a corner he had something fun or interesting or fascinating to point out or explain. Andrew is super-engaging, flexible, and just good company. Easy walk, just the right amount of time, and plenty of nice places for a coffee along the way and a meal after. The only thing that could have made it better was bringing a bunch of friends. Thank you, Andrew!

Wonderful historical tour in beautiful Brooklyn. Andy was a terrific tour guide. Thanks so much for a great afternoon

This tour is definitely something to check out, whether you are visiting Brooklyn for the first time or live nearby! My husband and I enjoy history and walking tours and decided to check out this tour to explore more of our own city! Andy was a great guide and had so much information to share with us about the area, along with photographs of what it used to look like. Andy was very good at stopping and telling us all about the main points of interest, as well as giving us a lot of background information for other spots that show up in different pop culture references, such as: Hamilton and The Sentinel move (1977). We had a great time and have a better understanding of the city we live in. Definitely worth taking this tour and learning about the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood!

What a beautiful neighborhood full of history! Andy was really knowledgeable about the area and its vibrant past. He gave a lot of insight about what things looked like when they were built and how they’ve changed over time. He had visuals to show it, which was really helpful in envisioning the stories! So much history took place in Brooklyn Heights. Now I’m seeing it everywhere, like on the Gilded Age tv series! Many of the people who built NYC had their roots in this neighborhood. The tour also comes with fantastic views of Manhattan & the Statue of Liberty (along the promenade) and the neighborhood itself is full of beautiful homes, churches and greenery. What a dreamy oasis. It doesn’t feel like you’re in the hustle and bustle of NYC, but in reality you’re steps away from Brooklyn’s Borough Hall and minutes from Manhattan. After the tour, there are tons of great restaurants and bars on Henry or Montague streets! Or you can easily walk down to Dumbo for pizza and an ice cream or walk/bike the Brooklyn Bridge. I highly recommend this tour, whether you’re a local to the city or just visiting. It’s great to see this hidden gem. And Andy will make it worth your while with fun facts galore and a humble approach to tourism. He’s super open to questions and active participation.
