The best tour in Brooklyn - I did a lot of tours in my last trip to NYC and this one was the best by far. Williamsburg is beautiful and John was the greatest tour guy. He taught us About the history of the place, art, music, architecture and much more. I really loved it!

Williamsburg walking tour highlighted the past and present of this vibrant neighborhood - The tour was great, but I don't like surveys that force you to share your story after you've already provided a 5-star tour rating...

Good tour but could be done self-guided - The tour was insightful and it was great to hear the history and how Williamsburg has changed over the years however I feel you can probably do this your self guided by downloading an audible narration. The tour guide adapted to some of the group that wanted to see a different area (Jewish neighbourhood). Whilst this was accommodating we missed out on the waters edge that would have been a great end to the tour. The guide did point out how we could get to it from our last point however due to time constraints and the tour already 30 mins over we didn’t get. Maybe the guides can kindly decline making an adjustment and offer directions/advise instead to those that want to go off plan.

Satellite community is a star of its own - Rise and fall and rebound of a neighborhood that always looks across the East River to Manhattan. Suitable people who likes streety stuff and brick houses

Learned about Williamsburg - Trip was informative but anything off script he didn’t know the answer to. In addition, and more importantly , I did not receive any information about where to meet the guide until 1 minute AFTER the tour started! Then had to run a block and a half to meet at second stop of tour. We weren’t impressed at the communication break down.
