About this tour

Brooklyn Heights pairs quiet, tree-lined streets with some of New York’s most memorable waterfront views. On this self-guided Brooklyn Heights audio tour, follow the neighborhood’s story from its early days, when Robert Fulton’s steamship carried passengers across the East River, to its graceful residential streets today.

Wander past Greek Revival and Italianate row houses, then make your way along the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. Take your time with the Manhattan skyline, catch a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty, and see Truman Capote’s former home. The route also points out the Brooklyn Historical Society Building and suggests places to grab a bite along the way. With audio, maps, and geodata available offline, you can explore without rushing and pause or restart whenever you like.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
