Williamsburg tour was informative and interesting. Two hours was the right amount of time. Derrick was a great guide.
Thank you so much for coming!
The tour was insightful and it was great to hear the history and how Williamsburg has changed over the years however I feel you can probably do this your self guided by downloading an audible narration. The tour guide adapted to some of the group that wanted to see a different area (Jewish neighbourhood). Whilst this was accommodating we missed out on the waters edge that would have been a great end to the tour. The guide did point out how we could get to it from our last point however due to time constraints and the tour already 30 mins over we didn’t get. Maybe the guides can kindly decline making an adjustment and offer directions/advise instead to those that want to go off plan.
Thank you very much for your feedback! You have brought a valid point. We will be more considerate in the future.
Trip was informative but anything off script he didn’t know the answer to. In addition, and more importantly , I did not receive any information about where to meet the guide until 1 minute AFTER the tour started! Then had to run a block and a half to meet at second stop of tour. We weren’t impressed at the communication break down.
Your communication issue is between you and TripAdvisor (this platform). We absolutely provide all the detailed information for meeting up. It appears like you had some issue on your phone clicking on a link to give you the info. This is completely out of the hands of our company. Thank you very much for attending!
I did a lot of tours in my last trip to NYC and this one was the best by far. Williamsburg is beautiful and John was the greatest tour guy. He taught us About the history of the place, art, music, architecture and much more. I really loved it!
Interactive tour with lots of information. Very interesting and entertaining. We can recommend the tour.
Our tour guide John was excellent. Very enthusiastic & very helpful. A good insight into the history of Brooklyn.
Rise and fall and rebound of a neighborhood that always looks across the East River to Manhattan. Suitable people who likes streety stuff and brick houses
Great introduction to Williamsburg neighbourhood. Especially for anyone wanting to learn how Williamsburg, Brooklyn and the neighbourhood has evolved over the years. Nick is a very entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommended.
The tour was great, but I don't like surveys that force you to share your story after you've already provided a 5-star tour rating...
Nick did an amazing job in explaining the history of Williamsburg and Brooklyn. Really nice mix of music, facts, historical events, culture and a personal touch making it memorable.
