A fantastic, hip, insightful tour of The cool Williamsburg food scene. Love , love, love the Angel Cafe Bagel with pesto and artichoke. Such an interesting twist on the New York Bagel. Rachel is a wonderful, natural storyteller. What a great way to discover the cool side of Brooklyn on a sunny , very happening New York Marathon day. Don’t miss this tour. 👍

I loved our guide David, he was the nicest! Also, great that it's only a group of 10. Besides the excellent choice of food, there was also historical background around some of the Brooklyn Heights buildings. I really enjoyed it from beginning to end and still rave on about it back home. Well done Sarah and her team!

Dani gave a great panorama of Brooklyn neighborhoods, with a lot of insights into how the city is ever changing and its consequences. Unfortunately, we had to drop off about halfway, due to some health problems, so we missed out on more good sights. Hopefully we can return sometime to see the rest.

The best tour I’ve done in NYC. Dani is so knowledgeable and passionate about her community. Even those who have been to Brooklyn before will learn something new. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. Thanks for a great day Dani

disneytwnz808, Oct 2023
We had a wonderful bike tour across the two bridges. We have been to NYC 3 times prior and have never had a chance to venture out to Brooklyn. This tour caught my eye to see Brooklyn. We ended up biking over 9 miles seeing a lot of beautiful scenery along the way. Our guide Pio was very patient and we went at our own pace especially since I was very slow going uphill on those inclines across the bridges. Thank you Pio for an awesome tour. The photo you took of us at the famous Brooklyn spot is definitely going to make it on this year’s Christmas card!

Great Experience about sailing in NY harbor
sunshineneverstop, Sep 2023
It was an awesome experience to sail with Sam, the captain. He was a super nice guy who could share every piece of knowledge about NY Harbor. Whether you are looking to just enjoy the view with food and drink on the sail boat or learn some sail skills. I am sure you will be super satisfied, just like what I experienced. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you try them if you want some unique sailing experience in NYC. you will like it! very convenient, I took subway 4, 3,2 to Borough Hall station, then walked 10 min to the marina.

Coming back to this New York Aquarium after so many years was a brand new experience
Rafael_T, Sep 2023
One of the most amazing aquariums regarding the sharks there, both my mom and I have ever seen here in New York. The sea lion and penguin exhibits, were cool to see. The underwater view option, was fun and a sight to behold at times. The Aquarium Theater regarding the talented sea lions there, was creatively scripted, and fun to watch too. The food selection at the Sea Side Cafe’ was decent but a bit expensive. The table we had the only option to choose from had a tray with the left over garbage on it and the table wasn’t properly cleaned by the workers there, and some of the tables were very wobbly so it was tricky to sit and eat comfortably there intermittently. Other than that, everything else was good. The staff were all for the most part cool and helpful with things regarding information etc.

I booked a two-hour sailing tour for my wife's 31st birthday. We had five total people in our group and we had the time of our lives! Sam was an outstanding captain who made sure we had everything we needed! If you're looking for a unique NYC adventure where you can BYOB and take some unbelievable pictures, please give these guys a chance, you won't be disappointed!!

This was a truly amazing tour. Our guide Holden was very knowledgeable and kept it interesting. There was just the right amount of riding and resting for me. However, be sure you’re in shape. The bridges take some peddling. The bikes aren’t electric. I definitely recommend it for anyone wanting to learn about Brooklyn, see amazing views and get some exercise along the way.
