Denis was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable about Brooklyn and the city in general! He was considerate about the pace we took, helping us maneuver the subways to avoid traffic as we covered the different communities. It was a great tour, highly recommend!

Our 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.

Denis was an amazing guide! 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!!!
