Itinerary
This tour begins in the heart of Brooklyn Heights (literally “the heights of Brooklyn”), a pleasant residential area that stands out for the tranquility and beauty of its streets. You can admire superb terraced houses in red sandstone (brownstones) and authentic mansions dating from before the American Civil War! Architectural qualities that made it the first neighborhood protected by the New York City Monuments Conservation Commission.
The Brooklyn Heights Promenade offers magnificent views of the East River and the Manhattan skyline. An experience that will extend naturally when you enter Brooklyn Bridge Park, which can be said without exaggeration as one of the most photogenic green spaces in the city.
You will then walk on the cobbled streets of DUMBO, and you will understand how this old industrial area, bought by a billionaire promoter, has become a high place of artistic and cultural creation (there are several art galleries) before attracting world renowned technology start-ups. Luxury real estate, trendy boutiques and restaurants complete the picture of this neighborhood that never stops transforming.
Last but not least, as our American friends say, you will end the tour at the foot of the mythical Brooklyn Bridge! The history DE this monumental bridge, which played an essential role in the development DE the city, will be revealed to you. You can then cross the bridge yourself to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view!

Great tour, very lively thanks to Aymeric, who is friendly and full of energy, and who does not lack anecdotes.
Very beautiful tour with Fred our guide, many anecdotes, unusual spots, a very good knowledge of his subject, we highly recommend this tour and Fred who does not hesitate to share his passion for Brooklyn and New York with us. Tour of
Very nice guided tour with Pauline; we greatly appreciated our visit as well as Pauline's comments, who is generous with her time and explanations. Don't hesitate!!!
Guided walk of Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, and Brooklyn Bridge with Marie. (This is our second guided visit with Marie.) As with the guided visit of the Financial District with Marie, it is just the two of us, and we can savor the pleasure of this "private" tour. The neighborhoods pass by, and Marie's explanations are clear and captivating. A perfect storyteller, Marie knows how to capture attention with her anecdotes that alternate with historical notes. The visit concludes in front of the Brooklyn Bridge, which we cross on foot to complete the photo album of our fabulous stay. The hours pass quickly. The kilometers add up, fatigue sets in, but the joy of visiting Manhattan is worth it. You can confidently take the "Voyages en Français" excursions or more specifically, "New York en Français." We recommend it without hesitation.
Top guide and appropriate group size
The visit with Aymeric was very rich in anecdotes and very dynamic. In addition to the explanations about the Brooklyn neighborhood, he expanded on other themes and gave tips and good addresses that we experienced. it was a very nice experience and recommend this visit.
Superb afternoon accompanied by aymeric who shared his passion for this neighborhood. Beautiful discoveries with my 2 friends. I recommend this provider and especially this guide who is a source of culture, with a lot of empathy and who appreciates sharing
Aymeric has been a great asset in helping us discover a part of Brooklyn. His origins make him the most competent person to give as many points of view, historical and architectural knowledge. The exchange is easy, in humor and sharing.
Amazing visit thanks to Aymeric, a Frenchman who has been living in New York for a long time. it has the energy and American positivity, special mention for this guide:) It would be impossible to discover Brooklyn in such a short time without this guided tour. Aymeric shares the history of New York with us with many anecdotes.
We discovered the Brooklyn and Dumbo neighborhoods with Aymeric for nearly 4 hours!. A fun and exciting super guide who makes the tour, thanks to his anecdotes and knowledge, fun and dynamic. Many thanks for his photo, gastronomic and shopping advice. Recommended without any hesitation. Thierry Valerie Jules and Gabin
