Program details

Explore deep into the heartland of Brooklyn with a private guided tour. Brooklyn is a fascinating diverse borough which is one of the defining entities of New York City. History, architecture, culture, grit and glamour, Brooklyn has it all.

Enjoy a fascinating journey through the mosaic of ethnic neighbourhoods in Brooklyn, where one out of seven Americans can claim his ancestry. Learn about the lively Middle Eastern section on Atlantic Avenue and the famed Jewish Orthodox neighbourhood of Borough Park. You will also see the attractive Caribbean enclave of Crowne Heights that is also home to the Lubavitch congregation, an Orthodox form of Judaism founded in Russia.

Immerse yourself in charming Brooklyn Heights, nestled in ivy covered brownstones and tree- lined streets. This is the romantic visage of New York which many will be familiar with from film and television. This very picturesque brown belt district was also the home to writers Norman Mailer, Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams.

Brooklyn homes display some of the finest in classic American architecture. They feature brownstones to Italianate mansions and federal brick row-houses as well as turn-of-the-century limestones. You may also be aware that Brooklyn is known as the ‘borough of churches’ as it has a multitude of beautiful places of worship.

Home to world-class cultural institutions: the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Prospect Park, Brooklyn has something for everyone.
