I took a Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO sightseeing tour with Renee from Tours by Foot, and she was absolutely incredible. As a New Yorker, I’m always curious to learn more about my own city, and I feel like I hit the jackpot with Renee as my guide. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating history and stories.
In one fantastic walk over the bridge, I learned far more than I expected to in just a few hours. I highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a memorable, informative, and enjoyable sightseeing experience.
We took this tour through Brooklyn and it was amazing! Even though I knew the neighborhood I had no idea of the amount of history and fun facts I’ve learned. I’ll take more of these tours when I return to NYC. Renee was a delight and so knowledgeable!
Renee’s Brooklyn tour was really terrific! She is knowledgeable, warm and down to earth. We learned a ton and had so much fun! We hope to take her Greenwich Village tour too!
We booked the Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Heights & DUMBO Tour and had a wonderful time! Our guide, Michael, was knowledgeable, thorough and so patient with all my questions along the way. Thank you for a memorable trip!
Marvellous tour guide. Michael was so knowledgeable and friendly. Not rushed at all, but kept a good pace to allow us to see so much. Thank you for a highlight of our six day stay in NY.
An absolutely wonderful tour! Meredith was so informative and patient with our group as we asked lots of questions and took a LOT of pictures! Meredith brought the neighborhood to life with stories about its history, architecture, and hidden gems that we never would have found on our own. Highly recommended to anyone visiting NYC. You’ll leave with amazing photos, fun facts, and a whole new appreciation for one of Brooklyn’s most iconic neighborhoods!
