Free Brooklyn Heights History Tour
I am a licensed tour guide, professional blogger, and active member of the Guides Association of New York City. My passion is New York’s food, history, and culture, and my walking tours are one of a kind NYC experiences! I also created, own, and operate a tour agency called Food Strolls Guided Tours right here in New York City.
Tour description
Join Alex on a Brooklyn Heights walking tour and learn the history of America’s oldest suburb. We’ll discuss the area’s past, from Dutch farmland to one of New York’s most exclusive neighborhoods, and its close relationship to the history of transportation in NYC.
We’ll weave our way through the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, stopping at several National Historic Landmarks along the way. Other stops include Brooklyn’s Borough Hall, Plymouth Church, the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, Brooklyn Bridge, and Fulton Ferry Landing. If time allows, we may even stop by a few celebrity mansions!!
Along the way, you'll have plenty of time to ask questions and engage with Alex on any number of topics.
The tours are casual, flexible, and fun, so bring your curiosity and a comfortable pair of walking shoes!

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
