What To Expect
PLEASE NOTE: This itinerary is a detailed EXAMPLE of my 2-hour ICONIC BROOKLYN option. Your actual starting point, stops, and route will adapt completely to the specific duration and neighborhood focus your group selects. We begin beneath the dramatic Belgian blocks and massive brickwork of this historic industrial viaduct. It is the perfect location to step close to the neighborhood's unique architectural textures, set a relaxed pace for our walk, and watch the city's living canvas come alive.
Gleason’s Gym
We look past the modern glare to find the raw neighborhood canvas, passing the legendary training grounds of boxing history.

5.00Our guide Denis was amazing. It was a cold and windy day in Brooklyn. He was considerate and allowed a stop to warm with a Latte. Denis is definitely a people person. His professional enthusiastic personality shined thru his love of Brooklyn. Knowledge of historical sites, natural landscapes, rivers, bridges, explanation of cultures in each Borough were explained in depth. We totally enjoyed our tour. Denis Italian accent was a plus. What more could you ask for in New York! Highly recommend his service and look forward to another tour when visiting New York in the Spring. Highly recommend Denis.
Fantastic tour in Brooklyn

With his deep knowledge of New York history and culture, accompanied by great sympathy and communication skills, he guided us through a truly immersive journey; filming Brooklyn with him was a unique experience! His passion for the place and willingness to answer every question made everything even more special. Time has flown between curiosity and stories. Highly recommended!!!
