A must do tour!!! - Scott was fantastic from start to finish, his communication prior to the tour was extremely helpful. During the tour Scott was very friendly, approachable and very knowledgeable. We learnt so much, the time flew by because we were so engaged with what Scott was telling us. You could tell he loved his hometown of Brooklyn. I would highly recommend Scott’s tour and will be passing on his information to family and friends.
