Brooklyn Tours

Once upon a time, Brooklyn Tours might not have been that popular. But the new and improved borough offers quite a lot of cultural value for the casual tourist. It's now not only a safe place to visit but also quite swanky. Already home to Coney Island and Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, Brooklyn also plays host to a number of other cultural events. The truth is that there are always things to do regardless of the season. So, grab a piece of pizza and stroll down the street on a Brooklyn Bike Tour in search of fun and games. The New York tours are incomplete without visiting Brooklyn.

Our tips for Brooklyn

  • Save 'n' Splurge. Everyone knows about the high cost of living in New York. Eating at restaurants for both lunch and dinner could drain your wallet rather quickly. Save money by packing a lunch and water bottle. Then, use the money you saved on lunch to buy dinner.
  • B&B Rental Factory. Consider an online private rental when searching for accommodations. You might save enough dough to buy a couple of extra meals.
  • See no evil, hear no evil. Brooklyn possesses no immunity against the noise caused by New York traffic and nightlife. Consider packing both an eye mask and earplugs.
  • Plan accordingly. If you arrive in the summer, check out the Coney Island Mermaid Parade or the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival. Or, if you find yourself in there during Labor Day, take part in the Carnival.
