| Paul who guids this tour loves Brooklyn and likes to show it off.
He does it with passion and in good taste. History, architecture, current politics,people, places, interesting shops, jazz and blues tips, varied neighborhoods are all (and much more) a part of his endless knowledge.
He is really a great guy who made our N.Y. experience memorable. Highly recommended ! |

| 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! |

| 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 were exhiliarated by our trip to Brooklyn, gaining an insider's view due to our knowledgable guide. This tour was well planned yet had an adventurous aspect at the same time. We plan to link up with our tour guide on future trips to the City. The whole experience was a delight. |

| We have taken many tours in different countries when we have been transported in buses or vans. These tours have included a number of stops.
The Brooklyn tour is the best tour we have taken during many years of travelling. Walking in interesting areas of Brooklyn together with a very well informed guide and using the subway between these areas is a much better way of sightseeing than to go around in a bus.

| Paul Blair did a terrific job of showing me many different areas of Brooklyn, including Park Slope, Prospect Park South, Brighton Beach, Coney Island, and Brooklyn Heights. He even added an hour-long walk through historic Fort Greene neighborhoods to accommodate my special interest in them. Our stop at Ozzie's Coffee, an old pharmacy in Park Slope, and our lunch at Memo, a wonderful Turkish place in Kings Highway - both dutch treat - were highlights. As an anthropologist/professor, I especially appreciated Paul's interest in the various cultures of Brooklyn as well as his architectural expertise. He is a delightful companion who has a wealth of knowledge to share and does so with grace and enthusiasm. I look forward to taking the Queens tour with him later this year. |

BROOKLYN IN ONE DAY: THE HIDDEN CHARM OF NY

| Having a guide to visit Brooklyn in just 1 day was absolutely essential (it would have been impossible to do so on our own; taking different subways without being lost would have been impossible). Discovering Coney Island was something a bit mythical for us, foreigners (we just knew about Coney Island through old Hollywood movies we can see in France).
Paul was great and his English was easily understandable for a French girl like me - which is not the case with all Americans, I can tell...
I appreciated his kindness in taking us to the entry of Brooklyn bridge; since his job was over, he could simply have left us...

Merci Paul,
La visite de Brooklyn a été un MUST de notre visite de NY et les rues et villas charmantes que nous avons découvertes resteront dans notre mémoire.
Je recommanderai cette visite à mes amis qui partiront à NY.
Merci encore. |

| 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. |

| Our guide made the tour for us. He loves Brooklyn and loves what he does. He is a real people person. We were shown places that I would imagine most people would overlook. My friend and I enjoyed every moment of this tour. We appreciated the ethnicity of Brooklyn. Take this tour. You will love it! |
