About this experience
THIS IS A SOCIALLY DISTANCED TOUR. This private driver-guided tour takes you beyond Manhattan to Brooklyn. Brooklyn has been called the "Soul of New York." It is a place most tourists never visit and when they do, they don't wander in very far. You are sure to experience on this tour an exciting off the beaten tourist path adventure through the very "Soul of New York." Transportation is provided in the comfort of a roomy late model Toyota Sienna minivan, with capacity to accommodate up to six guests. To quote an on and off the stage Brooklynite (Ralph Kramden played by Jackie Gleason), "Brooklyn, how sweet it is!" PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PRIVATE DRIVING TOUR IS SOCIALLY DISTANCED FROM THE CROWDED CITY SIDEWALKS, SUBWAYS AND BUSES.

What you'll see and do
Brooklyn Bridge
On this private driver-guided tour, you will explore Brooklyn and what would be the fourth largest city in the United States, if it was still its own city (as it was until 1898). After pickup at the New York City location of your choice, you head out on an urban adventure, traveling by late model minivan from Greenpoint (sometimes known as Little Poland), all the way to Brighton Beach (known as Little Odessa).
Williamsburg
Stop to spend time in Brooklyn Heights, the largest ensemble of pre-Civil War housing (mostly brownstones) in America. You can visit the first battleground of the American Revolution following the Declaration of Independence, which is now a cemetery. Then you have the chance to stroll along the lovely Brooklyn Promenade with beautiful views and photos of the Manhattan skyline.
Manhattan Skyline
Visit Brooklyn Bridge Park for great views of the BMW Bridges—the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg Bridges. Then head south to visit the Coney Island Boardwalk, next to the Atlantic Ocean, and walk along the beach. This nostalgic visit includes views of a seaside amusement park of yesteryear.
Brooklyn Heights Promenade
On the way through Brooklyn you visit Williamsburg, the largest ultra-conservative Jewish community in the world outside of Israel. Then see Park Slope, one of the nicest neighborhoods in New York, and Brooklyn's very own Chinatown, Sunset Park.
New York Harbor
Finally, a visit to Brooklyn would not be complete without sampling some of the delicacies it is known for. Try water-boiled bagels (with cream cheese and lox), wood-fired, brick oven pizza, and Coney Island hot dogs (on Coney Island, no less), plus much more.
Family In New York
At the end of the day, you are sure to say of Brooklyn, along with Jackie Gleason / Ralph Kramden who lived in the borough both in real life and on television, "Brooklyn - how sweet it is!"

Why this scores 44
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Brooklyn Sightseeing Tour with Private Driver-Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Brooklyn Sightseeing Tour with Private Driver-Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $1199 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Brooklyn Sightseeing Tour with Private Driver-Guide take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.
Is Brooklyn Sightseeing Tour with Private Driver-Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Brooklyn Sightseeing Tour with Private Driver-Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Brooklyn Sightseeing Tour with Private Driver-Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Brooklyn Sightseeing Tour with Private Driver-Guide?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Brooklyn Sightseeing Tour with Private Driver-Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in New York?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
