On this private driver-guided tour, you will explore Brooklyn and what would be the fourth largest city in the United States, if it was still its own city (as it was until 1898). After pickup at the New York City location of your choice, you head out on an urban adventure, traveling by late model minivan from Greenpoint (sometimes known as Little Poland), all the way to Brighton Beach (known as Little Odessa).

Stop to spend time in Brooklyn Heights, the largest ensemble of pre-Civil War housing (mostly brownstones) in America. You can visit the first battleground of the American Revolution following the Declaration of Independence, which is now a cemetery. Then you have the chance to stroll along the lovely Brooklyn Promenade with beautiful views and photos of the Manhattan skyline.

Visit Brooklyn Bridge Park for great views of the BMW Bridges—the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg Bridges. Then head south to visit the Coney Island Boardwalk, next to the Atlantic Ocean, and walk along the beach. This nostalgic visit includes views of a seaside amusement park of yesteryear.

Finally, a visit to Brooklyn would not be complete without sampling some of the delicacies it is known for. Try water-boiled bagels (with cream cheese and lox), wood-fired, brick oven pizza, and Coney Island hot dogs (on Coney Island, no less), plus much more.

At the end of the day, you are sure to say of Brooklyn, along with Jackie Gleason / Ralph Kramden who lived in the borough both in real life and on television, “Brooklyn – how sweet it is!”
