About this tour

See Brooklyn beyond the familiar skyline on a 270-minute walking and subway tour through five neighborhoods. This Brooklyn sightseeing tour brings together the borough’s contrasting character, from Williamsburg’s creative streets to historic brownstone blocks and striking Manhattan views.

Begin in Williamsburg, then travel to artsy Bushwick for street art and vintage shops. Visit South Williamsburg’s Orthodox Jewish community before continuing to Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights, where grand historic homes and classic brownstone architecture line the streets. The route also reveals hidden bars and scenic city views. Three subway rides connect the neighborhoods and offer a chance to rest between walks. A short break for a bathroom stop, coffee, or a snack comes halfway through; food, drinks, and subway tickets are not included. Your guide is happy to take photos of you and your family along the way.

Meet outside Sweet Chick on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, near the Bedford Avenue L station. Choose this Brooklyn sightseeing tour for a broad, neighborhood-by-neighborhood look at the borough’s history, culture, and everyday scenes.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • 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: this tour scores 8.0. Top 16% in New York City means it ranks in the top 16% of tours in New York City by this score.
