Program details

The Brooklyn Tour shares the delight of an area with a strong historical and cultural legacy. Brooklyn has played an important part in the history of not only New York City but of the entire nation. As the place that one in seven Americans can claim a connection to, the most populated of the five boroughs is teeming with life and full of treasures waiting to be discovered. The origin of many firsts, it is the birthplace of notables in the arts, sports, science and business. The Brooklyn Tour takes you to places connected to those major events in history complete with the sights and sounds of the closely knit borough.

The first view is what was, at its construction in 1993, the world’s longest suspension bridge. Connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan ever since, Brooklyn Bridge has inspired the work of many artists such as Walt Whitman and Georgia O’Keefe. Our expert, fully licensed guides will introduce you to wonders such as the grandest of triumphal arches, the home of one of the world's greatest Egyptology collections, the very first vehicular parkway built in the US, the site of a revolution in sports and significant spots connected to major events in the American Revolution and the birth of our nation.
Also pointed out to you will be notable cultural institutions, impressive houses of worship and the elegant mansions that also make up one of New York’s most fascinating and diverse boroughs.
