Description
A private walking tour to explore one of the most historic neighborhoods of New York City – Brooklyn Heights with Dumbo and the Brooklyn Bridge. During the Tour, we will enjoy unparalleled views over the Manhattan Skyline and the New York Bay right from the Brooklyn Promenade Park. We will be walking along tree-lined streets with some of the most gorgeous townhomes in the city and we will learn how Brooklyn Heights transformed over the past 200 years. We will have plenty of opportunities for photos and to learn how this area, and the city, has changed throughout the centuries adapting to new challenges. A tour that can be equally enjoyed by first-time and returning visitors as it focuses on hidden gems, fun facts and anecdotes. To close our tour, as we cross the bridge, we will learn what it took to build the first suspension bridge in the world.

Beneficial individual tour guide
Perfect experience, downtown visit with Alessia. Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Very professional, pleasant, and well-prepared on the proposed route, which truly surprised us by including a crossing with the River Ferry. 4 hours of the visit passed pleasantly and even too quickly. Even after the end of the visit, she proved to be available to help us with advice on further visits we could do on our own.

Exploring Brooklyn with Irene
My friend and I did Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo and The Bridge with Irene via Viator today. Irene is very organized. The day before the tour, she gave me exact location to meet and described her outfit, so I can identify her easily. She is very knowledgeable, fun loving, personable, engaging. Also she is true New Yorker, she knows a lot about NYC. We had so much fun with her. Both my friend and I would request her again in a heartbeat!
