Do NOT Miss! Hasidic Williamsburg w Frieda
A+++ Highly recommended! There is no better tour guide to Hasidic Williamsburg than Frieda Vizel. Growing up in the Satmar community she has intimate and factual knowledge to share and does so in an informative, sensitive and thoughtful way. Her narration, knowledge and story-telling make this not only a fascinating tour but a fun adventure as well. Thanks So much! Z-MM

Breweries of Bushwick: Old and New

Excellent Historical Tour!
My friend and I joined the Breweries of Bushwick tour over the summer and had a wonderful time learning about the neighborhood's history and sampling beer at newer breweries. James did a fabulous job connecting the neighbhorhood's history through the present day. As a previous resident of the neigbhorhood I learned more in the 2 1/2 hour tour than my almost 2 years living in Bushwick! James did a wonderful job answering our questions. Bushwick is a large neighorhood and I felt we covered a nice amount of ground while keeping the amount of walking accesible for those of varying fitness levels. If you enjoying learing about New York City history while sampling drinks, I highly recommend this experience!

Wonderful trip to Hershey chocolate factory
Nice tour with a wonderful guide. Tour leader Lena was very kind and competent. It was a small group, it was comfortable and interesting. We traveled in a VAN Chevrolet Express equipped with air conditioning and a TV. The cabin is clean and pleasant. I enjoyed a tour of the Hershey Chocolate Factory, we had a lot of fun. I recommend this trip especially at Christmas time, there will be thousands Christmas lights!

Great Bushwick Brewery Tour!
Celebrated my birthday with a brewery tour, and had the best time! James is a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and personable, and the whole thing was organized really well, from the communication beforehand all the way through. We learned some fascinating neighborhood history and facts about beer production and distribution over the years, and got to visit 3 really good breweries. The highlight was our final stop at Eckhart Beer Co., really good brews and food. Thanks James, we are already making plans to go back to the spots we visited on the tour!

Brooklyn’s Oasis: Audio Guide to Prospect Park

Perfect for Prospect Park First Time Visitors
I used Apple Maps along side the tour to help keep me on track. It’s a wonderful, entertaining and educational tour and I highly recommend it to get the most out of a visit to Prospect Park. It’s quite a long walk and there are some stairs involved, so be aware if that presents a challenge for you. Wear comfy shoes and your Air Buds, and bring water and snacks. There are loads of photo ops! Also you will have to walk about 1/2 mi further to exit the park at the end of the tour.

Such a fun tour!
As a local who has been to Prospect Park many times, I could not believe how much I learned from this tour. Apparently all those times I’ve been on the running path I was actually running through a site of the Revolutionary War! Who knew this park holds so much American history and culture like the Civil War, Sandy Koufax, and even Goodfellas and Broad City? This walking route also showed me stunning areas of the park I can’t believe I never knew existed. What a lovely way to spend an evening in Brooklyn! Now I can’t wait to go back to visit some of my new favorite spots in the park

An absolute treasure trove of history, poetry and fun stories about Greenwich Village - this isn't a "dry" or overly intellectual journey, it balances the artistic and cultural stuff with plenty of smiles and laughs, highly recommended.
