Description

Have you ever wanted to visit Coney Island but weren't sure how to get there or what you would find? I spent my childhood riding the famous Cyclone and Wonder Wheel and swimming in the Atlantic Ocean there and loving every minute of it. Let me show you my Brooklyn! We can go on the many exciting rides, walk on the famous Boardwalk and finish up by having Hot Dogs at Nathan's (where they were invented) and have their amazingly delicious fries! Visit Williams Candy store for some authentic Salt Water Taffy! Children will especially enjoy the New York Aquarium and the kiddie rides at Luna Park. On the subway there, you'll have views of the backyards and rooftops of Brooklyn. Bring a towel and a bathing suit and we'll take a dip in the Atlantic Ocean if you'd like!

Awesome Coney Island Experience!

Ann McDermott was an amazing tour guide! She inquired about our interests (we were taking our grandson to NYC to celebrate his 10th birthday) and incorporated them into the fun, witty and knowledgeable facts that she imparted making the tour incredibly interactive! And that's saying a lot to keep a 10 year old boy totally engaged, from the time she picked us up from our hotel in Midtown, taking the subway all the way to Coney Island and back, pointing out all of the interesting NYC monuments, structures, bridges, people and places, to even joining our grandson and us on a daredevil ride and indulging on the famous Nathan's Hot Dogs and Fries!! A huge bonus, is that Ann is also a Rock Music Historian and engaged my husband and I in delightful conversation about Motown artists, as we shared our stories and interactions with the artists from the late 60's and 70's, as although we live in Florida, my husband and I were both born and raised in Detroit. Ann gave us so many tips on where to dine, where to go and more things to do than we could ever fit into the three days we were in NYC! I would recommend her tour(s) to everyone, young and the not so young (LOL), as she has a way of relating to all! If you want a NYC aficionado, you need to definitely take one (or more) of Ann McDermott's tours!!! Review by: Debbi M.
