A Fabulous Day in Brooklyn with Denis
It is hard to imagine how Denis could have been a more thoughtful, generous and warm tour guide. It’s just not possible! We had a wonderful day with his leading and he was quick to seek our feedback by giving us loads of options based on our interests. Denis is knowledgeable, curious and you can tell he is passionate about what he does. It definitely shows. Thank you, Denis for a memorable day. We hope to book with you again!

Private Harlem Tour in New York with Local Expert Guide
patrice_c, Sep 2026
Good for private
He’s be very knowledgeable , fast talker but it’s because of the limited time of the tour, he actually took me to more places than itinerary and offered pix. He picked me up from the hotel and opted to do the driving tour and not walking. I told him to leave me in Harlem instead of dropping me back off. Then he texted me the subway route from where he dropped me too to the hotel ..I didn’t ask for it he just wanted to make sure I made it back to Brooklyn. He’s a cool dude

Italian American Food Tour of Williamsburg

Tastefully 😋 Touring Williamsburg
Wow 🤩 what a fab day in Williamsburg! Jessica led the way to 7 local eateries where we sampled a variety of Italian cuisine which were all so yummy 😋 as she simultaneously shared the history of Italian Americans who migrated to Williamsburg. Today in particular, was quite special because we toured with her Dad, whom was beyond proud of his beautiful daughter! She is so personable, informative & her passion for her heritage shines through in her presentation. This is a tour which will not only delight your tastebuds but will send you off with a greater appreciation of Italian history & Williamsburg!🥰

Our tour with Jessica was just the right mix of shops and restaurants. She was very knowledgeable about Italian history and how these dishes ended up in our American kitchens. She was very professional in manor and sense of humor. I enjoy my trip across Brooklyn with new friends.

The Wildest Ride In Coney
Dom is a born storyteller! Uncovering all the layers of a place and weaving them into one tale of the ground beneath your feet. In the space of a couple of hours we didn’t just learn about the rides we could see — we learned about the rides we COULDN’T see, the engineering genius and the adventurous madness that created them all, and the singular humans that brought it all together. The story Dom told us was a rollercoaster, infused with wit and character, and best of all curiosity. Every story brought more questions from us, and he answered them all with the thoughtfulness of someone who really cares. We left talking about when we can go on one of his other tours. Thank you, Dom!

Half-Day Sightseeing Tour of Brooklyn
Kathryn_D, Aug 2026
Comprehensive overview into different Brooklyn neighborhoods
This is a wonderful and tour of several neighborhoods in Brooklyn, including a few that most tourists don't venture into. Dani has put together a very thoughtful (and busy) half day jaunt that showcases the history of the borough, as well as what living there now looks like for different communities of people. There is a good amount of walking and several subway/bus rides to cover a lot of ground, but there is a quick stop for a slice of pizza or snack at a cafe which is appreciated. Having lived in NYC a long time ago I was very interested in learning more about Brooklyn today (as it has changed a lot) and this was perfect. I recommend this for tourists who want to see the "real" New York and get beyond Manhattan.
