Itinerary

  • Brooklyn Bridge

    Opened in 1883, this iconic bridge almost didn't see the light of day. As you admire its impressive architecture, you'll hear about the multitude of problems which beset the construction process, as well as how engineers finally overcame them. NOTE: This 2-mile-long tour covers the essentials of Brooklyn in 1-2 hours.

    10 minutes

  • Manhattan Bridge

    As the less famous sibling of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Manhattan Bridge is sometimes unfairly overlooked by visitors. But it's a majorly picturesque structure, and the DUMBO neighborhood actually gets its name from this bridge!

    10 minutes

  • Jane's Carousel

    This classic wooden carousel was built in 1922 for an amusement park in Youngstown, Ohio. It has been restored to its original working condition and is a wonderful stop for any youngsters.

    10 minutes

  • St. Ann's Warehouse

    These picture-perfect arches are Instagram-famous for a reason. If you're looking for a great photo spot to commemorate your visit to Brooklyn, this is the stop for you. The red brick and lush greenery contrast to make for some truly memorable snapshots.

    5 minutes

  • N/A

    The basement of 70 Willow Street is where renowned author Truman Capote once lived. While living here, Capote wrote his most famous and influential works: In Cold Blood and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

    10 minutes

  • Cadman Plaza Park

    Cadman Plaza is a pleasant green space named for Reverend Samuel Parkes Cadman. As you stroll through this peaceful space, you'll get to know Cadman and understand why he was important enough to name a park after.

    5 minutes

  • Brooklyn War Memorial

    The Brooklyn War Memorial features two 20-foot-tall statues, which were among the largest in the city when they were first sculpted. It honors those who fought and died during World War II. Your tour concludes here, just down the street from where it began.
