5.00My friend and I did Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo and The Bridge with Irene via Viator today. Irene is very organized. The day before the tour, she gave me exact location to meet and described her outfit, so I can identify her easily. She is very knowledgeable, fun loving, personable, engaging. Also she is true New Yorker, she knows a lot about NYC. We had so much fun with her. Both my friend and I would request her again in a heartbeat!

5.00Irene was very knowledgeable. We are still remembering details from her tour a day later. It was cold and windy our tour day. Still enjoyable.
Nice relaxing waking tour

5.00Irene was a great guide that shared insightful facts. She tailored to the fact that a member in our group was not a great English speaker, so she spoke slower and was patient when we stopped to translate. She made great recommendations for pictures and kept in mind restroom and/or coffee stops due to the cold.
