| Stayed in Brooklyn when visiting NYC so took the opportunity to go on the Brooklyn tour which was excellent and highly recommended. The guide tailored the trip to places we hadn't seen, and provided a great balance of sites from DUMBO through to Brighton Beach and Park Place. A trip round Brooklyn is a great way to spend the day. |

| The tour, on a rainy Monday, could not have been better. The guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and the wide variety of places we went gave me a very good overview of Brooklyn. After the tour, he sent me additional web links about Brooklyn and names of some jazz places he recommends (He is also a jazz expert and, I think, has jazz tours as well. I would go on one in a heartbeat). I highly recommend this tour. It is somewhat strenuous as there are steps to climb and quite a bit of walking; but most people in good health should not have problems with it as there are frequent breaks on the subway between places .. |

| This tour proved that there is so much more to New York than Manhattan. Paul was a charming and knowledgable guide and showed us so many different sides to Brooklyn.
Although a full day tour, the pace was fairly gentle, so suitable for all. I would highly recommend this tour. |

| We have been to New York (Manhattan), but have never been to any of the other boroughs. We decided that we wanted to visit Brooklyn, but not really knowing anything about it we were unsure where to begin. This was a great way to visit a lot of different areas in Brooklyn - Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Brighton Beach, Prospect Park South, Coney Island, etc. Paul provided information about the neighborhoods as well as historical background and now we have a whole list of places we'd like to return to in Brooklyn for our next trip. Thanks Paul! |

| This tour is a must for all travellers considering a trip to NYC. Paul Blair (Tour Guide) is really an incredible guy, with lots of knowledge of the local area. The pace of the tour is comfortable, with plenty of little great stops along the way... The information during the tour is delivered in a way that will have all listening for more!! See you again soon Paul! |

| From the vary first minutes of our tour it seemed that Paul was just an old friend showing you around town. Without a doubt the best tour we took on our vacation. Highly recommended. |

| Enjoyed our day and learned so much about the many things there are to see & do in Brooklyn. Paul was a most pleasant & informative guide--moving our group along in a relaxed manner--which was most enjoyable after our previous hectic days in Manhattan. We're looking forward to revisiting several of the neighborhoods, parks, museums, and restaurants that were pointed out to us during our day. |

| We spent a very lovely day with our guide. He was informative regarding the area. He was a very plesant guide who knew his facts. We explored a lot of territory in the six hours of the tour. We felt the tour was money well spent. |

| After a couple hectic days in Manhattan over the Easter long weekend it was a nice break to branch out and tour a different, quieter area of the big city and The Bountiful Brooklyn Tour was just what the doctor ordered. My girlfriend and Myself were fortunate to be the only people booked for this particular day so we got to have Paul, our tour guide, all to ourselves. Paul guided us through the wonderful neighborhoods filling us with such information that it felt as though he had lived in each of these areas himself. Hopping on and off the subway added to the 6 hour adventure with the climax being Brooklyn Heights and walking back to Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge.
Thanks again Paul! |

| We came to New York for a Swing Street Tour of Brooklyn.
We easily found our way to the meeting place with the directions provided.
Paul was both pleasant and knowlegable. The size of our group allowed him to be flexible and allow us to personalize the tour.
We are looking forward to our next tour soon...
