Brooklyn, here we come... - Scott led us from City Hall across Brooklyn Bridge, around the DUMBO urban regeneration district under Manhatten Bridge and up through Brooklyn Heights to the Promenade. It was a lovely walk and Scott was a lovely host: knowledgeable, funny, and very user friendly. A good time was had by all.
Highly recommended.

Brooklyn bridge - Scott is very prepared, being from Brooklyn himself. The stroll is interesting and the views spectacular. Without Scott it wouldn’t have been the same.

Awesome, informative, must see - Scott is a fantastic tour guide: informed, funny, full of stories. I learned so much that I felt like I'd done a day-long tour instead of only a few hours. Such a special experience to walk the famous Brooklyn Bridge, all the while finding out so much about New York, its boroughs and its history. And seeing where movie stars live too! Highly recommend.
