Overview

NEW: For a special treat, book my new Sunset tour offered at 6 pm on Saturday, and watch the sun set and Manhattan skyline come alive. All tours are delivered in English, and by the proprietor Scott, and feature small groups. Enjoy a 3-hour, 3-mile stroll with a 30-year resident of Brooklyn. I'll lead you to the most picturesque photo ops and find corners that only a local would know. Learn about the history of the people, eras, and technology that defined Brooklyn's rise. We'll pass by the homes of some very famous stars of TV and film, as well as through shoot locations you will almost certainly recognize from popular TV and films. You'll end up in NYC's hottest neighborhood, Dumbo, home of NYC's best pizza. Make time for lunch and, during warm-weather weekends, to browse Brooklyn Flea for a bespoke, vintage souvenir. This is a walking version of my popular, five-star rated bike tour, also listed on Viator.

Meeting points

Look for me on east side of the Jacob Wrey Mould Fountain in City Hall Park. Nearby Subway stations include City Hall (R, W), Brooklyn Bridge City Hall (4, 5, 6) Chambers Street (J, Z), Chambers Street (A, C) and Park Place (2, 3).

End point

Open in Google Maps

Guests may want to plan on getting a meal after the tour, as this site has many delicious restaurants, including Julianna's World Famous New York Pizza.

Best guide, highly recommended!

Published on Nov, 2024

Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and all around amazing! He connected with all on our tour even the little 6yr old. ❤️ He was fantastic!

Book It!

Published on Nov, 2024

Scott is a great guide and this tour is a must do. My daughter and I joined him on this tour and we had a great time. He has a lot of insight and history, recommendations and will offer to take pictures. He is very pleasant and helped us with some area questions before and after the tour. So glad we booked this and the walk around Brooklyn Heights was a nice break from the noise of the city across the river.

Blowing away the cobwebs - an exhilarating walk from Manhattan to Brooklyn

Published on Nov, 2024

A really enjoyable few hours with Scott and fellow travellers walking from Manhattan City Hall, across the Brooklyn Bridge, exploring the refurbished DUMBO area and then up into Brooklyn Heights. There’s nothing like a local to give you the inside track on the neighbourhoods you are exploring and Scott was a great guide. A splendid way to spend a few hours. Highly recommended.

Scott's tour is a must-see experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Scott is an excellent guide. His knowledge of both Manhattan and Brooklyn is remarkable. He led the tour in a relaxed and comfortable way, not missing a beat, from City Center to Dumbo. He planned brief stops along the walk to let us rest and regroup for a minute and to take photos of the gorgeous views. This trip was so worth the price, and it could have easily been more expensive for the wonderful experience it provided. I would vibe back with friends for this one!

Great tour guide.! Take the tour!

Published on Nov, 2024

Scott was very knowledgeable. friendly and helpful. We learned a lot about the Brooklyn Bridge and the surrounding area and we met some interesting people in our tour group. I highly recommend Scott Wooledge!!
