Request Angelo! - Great facts learned from Angelo. Very knowledgeable tour guide. He would take detours to take us to places with hidden history. Loved the Brooklyn Bridge and NY skyline art on the sidewalk, would’ve never known about it if he hadn’t pointed it out.

Amazing experience! - This is a great tour and would recommend to everyone. Our guide, Angelo, was the best. He was so friendly and very knowledgeable about everything from food, culture, and all the various neighborhoods in Brooklyn. He truly loves what he's doing and sharing that with others. The many food stops were fantastic, bagels, pizza, cookies, hot chocolate, meat pies. It was so nice meeting the store owners and learning the history of their businesses. This is a fun tour, delicious food. Book with Angelo!
