Our guided visit in French allows you to discover the highlights of Brooklyn in 3.5 hours. The tour begins in the Bushwick area, known worldwide for its impressive street art murals and spectacular graffiti. Your live guide will explain the different artistic techniques used and, most importantly, will show you the latest creations. Our team of live guides is in fact in close contact with the Bushwick Collective, the association that oversees the artworks. If a mural is being created during your visit, your live guide will take you there, and you can even talk to the artist if they are there.
The tour will continue in the Williamsburg district, on the banks of the East River. This will be an opportunity to enjoy exceptional panoramic views of Manhattan, with the Empire State Building and the Midtown towers in front of you. Your live guide will also invite you to explore the typical community gardens of Williamsburg. This is your chance to meet locals and share a slice of New York life. Gourmet bonus: Your live guide will take you to try a cookie in the best patisserie in New York. A great way to regain energy while indulging in New York tradition!
The tour will continue by ferry to the DUMBO area, at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge. The ferry offers stunning views of New York City and the buildings of the financial district. You'll have the One World Trade Centre tower in your sights, and the boat will pass under the Manhattan Bridge and under the Brooklyn Bridge. In the distance, you'll see the Statue of Liberty. An unforgettable moment!
Finally, it's time for the DUMBO area, a former industrial area that has been transformed into a trendy area in just a few years. Art galleries and fashion boutiques have replaced the dusty warehouses. Your live guide will have a few surprises in store for you, including a visit to a legendary boxing gym. This is where boxing legend Mike Tyson trained. But you'll see that the place is always packed, and your live guide can handle the translation if you want to ask the athletes there a few questions. Our Brooklyn tour is a true experience! Your live guide will also take you to a rooftop for a unique view of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan.
Your live guide will then leave you at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge and give you recommendations for the rest of your day. For example, you can cross the Brooklyn Bridge immediately after the tour.
Good to know: All of our live guides hold the official guide certification issued by the City of New York. They are all French people who have lived in New York for many years and are all passionate about the Big Apple. Feel free to ask them any questions you might have during your tour. The tour is intended to be a time for discussion!
