Wonderful Tour!
We had a lovely time on this tour! It was a surprise for my mother's 60th birthday, and she loved it! Alex was incredibly informative and sweet and did a great job answering our questions. We loved getting to meet some local artists and see their work in the neighborhood! Such a great experience overall. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn about the rich history of an artistic and eclectic neighborhood in Brooklyn!
