Our guided tour in French allows you to discover the highlights of Brooklyn in 3 hours and 30 minutes. The tour begins in the Bushwick area, known around the world for its impressive street art murals and spectacular graffiti. Your guide will explain the various artistic techniques used and, most importantly, will show you the latest creations. Our team of guides is indeed in close contact with the Bushwick Collective, the association that oversees the artworks. If a mural happens to be in progress during your visit, your guide will take you to see it, and you may even be able to chat with the artist if they are there.
The tour will continue in the Williamsburg area, 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 towers of Midtown in front of you. Your guide will also invite you to explore the community gardens typical of Williamsburg. This is an opportunity to meet locals and experience a slice of New York life. Gourmet bonus: Your guide will take you to try a cookie at the best bakery in New York. A great way to recharge your batteries while enjoying a 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 in your sights, and the boat will pass under the Manhattan Bridge and 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 guide will have a few surprises in store for you, including a visit to a legendary boxing gym. This is where Mike Tyson, the boxing legend, trained. But you'll see that the place is always busy, and your guide can provide translation if you want to ask any questions to the athletes there. Our Brooklyn tour is a true experience! Your guide will also take you to a rooftop for a unique view of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan.
Your guide will then leave you at the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge and will give you his recommendations for the rest of your day. For example, you can cross the Brooklyn Bridge immediately after the tour.
