Brooklyn: New York's best kept secret

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Manhattan and the tourist hotspots in the Big Apple, then Brooklyn hosts a whole array of fascinating sights, landmarks and parks to take you away from the crowds.


Brooklyn New York tours enable you to explore the city away from the tourist track and can make your trip to New York that extra bit special. Brooklyn is the largest of New York’s five boroughs and can be explored on foot on a Brooklyn New York walking tour, or, if your feet have suffered the blistered fate of most of New York’s shoppers, then a Brooklyn Bus tour is an equally stimulating alternative. Brooklyn Walking Tours are led by an urban historian who takes you through Brooklyn’s streets on a highly informative tour, telling you everything you need and want to know about Brooklyn, from its social history to contemporary politics and everything in between. Brooklyn is separated from Manhatten by the Brooklyn Bridge. As the world’s longest suspension bridge, Brooklyn Bridge has become a New York icon and a crossing of the Brooklyn Bridge offers spectacular views of the city as you look back on the famous New York skyline. Brooklyn New York Tours take you right into the heart of the borough to explore some of the districts most beautiful neighborhoods. The Brooklyn Heights district is one of the boroughs most exclusive and has a unique architectural heritage. Its brownstone mansions boast Wall Street financiers and investors as residents and its tree lined promenade is bordered not only by elegant townhouses but historic landmarks too – including the Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims – a famous stop on the underground railway. Prospect Park was designed and constructed by the same landscape architects who created Central Park and, like its counterpart, is an urban oasis for Brooklyn’s residents and houses both a zoo and a forest in its 585 acres. NY Brooklyn tours include DUMBO – The Down under the Manhatten Bridge Overpass, which has a compelling maritime history. This former warehouse district has been transformed from a storage quarter to a premier art district and its galleries are a must see for any budding artist or collector. The slice of Brooklyn pizza tour is a fun alternative to Brooklyn walking tours and delves into the city’s Italian roots on a tasty journey where you can sample some of the best and most popular pizza in the borough. This Brooklyn tour combines sightseeing with pizza tasting and includes sights such as the entertaining Coney Island in its itinerary.

Brooklyn New York tours will prove that there is more to New York than great shopping. Just a bridge away from Manhattan, Brooklyn has its own rich social and political history and boasts the sights and experiences which will add a unique twist to your trip to New York.
