Bushwick is a working-class district on the north side of Brooklyn, adjacent to Williamsburg, which has been attracting a unique gathering of artists for some time now.
The neighborhood has a fair collection of art studios and galleries, such as the Bushwick Collective (which we include as a stop on our tour).
But it's actually Bushwick's industrial landscape that attracts street artists.
Join Tours by Foot in Bushwick, and discover some of the best Brooklyn graffiti and street art on some of the world's best and most interesting urban canvases.
As you discover some of the best urban artwork in all of New York, a professional tour guide will explain to you the background and history of the art of many famous and not-so-famous artists.
Obtain a better appreciation and critical eye for what is an ever-changing form of expression, all the while exploring a part of New York only now emerging on visitors' itineraries.
Tours by Foot is among the very best in NYC, but you don't have to take my word for it, as thousands of critics on TripAdvisor have given us a full 5-star rating!
We had the best time joining Courtney on her Lower East Side Food tour! Courtney told us so many fantastic stories and the time went by too fast! We had so much fun trying the delicious food, which was really well chosen to get to know the area! Thank you so much! We will be back for more 🤗😀
Our walking tour with Courtney was the highlight of our weekend. We're locals, and we got to know cool insights into local history and architecture while being guided us to some of our favorite food spots!
The pace was perfect, Courtney was a great guide, and we left with a deeper appreciation for the neighborhood. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike!
Easily recommendable! To see the places where real history took place and to learn of real people who came from Harlem and made changes in the world was very interesting and valuable. Lady Altovise knew her stuff! She was fun and engaging while telling true and inspirational stories. Gives me pride for Harlem and our country. A tour to do while you’re in NY!
I took a Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO sightseeing tour with Renee from Tours by Foot, and she was absolutely incredible. As a New Yorker, I’m always curious to learn more about my own city, and I feel like I hit the jackpot with Renee as my guide. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating history and stories.
In one fantastic walk over the bridge, I learned far more than I expected to in just a few hours. I highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a memorable, informative, and enjoyable sightseeing experience.
Michael was a fantastic tour guide. His enthusiasm and knowledge was so appreciated by all of us. He is definitely a great ambassador for the best of NYC.
Had the best experience with Lady Altovise on her Saturday afternoon tour of Harlem. My mother discovered her on YouTube and booked her for us to experience while my parents visited. I’ve lived in Harlem for 10 years and still learned so much. She was amazing!
Lady Altovise did an outstanding & professional tour of Harlem! The Soul of Harlem Stroll: History & Heritage Tour was so entertaining and informative! You must take it if you’re visiting NYC! ATL Fans!
Great overall experience. Miss Altovise was fun, funny, knowledgeable, welcoming during this walking tour. It was a beautiful day and we were able to see lots of sites, people, and street entertainment throughout the trip. She welcomes questions which was fun!
Altovise was AMAZING!!! We have been in NYC for five days and have taken multiple walking tours of the city, but this was by far the most entertaining and enlightening tour we took! We could not recommend Altovise enough!
Lady has been a really great tour guide. Her vibe and her knowledge make her an amazing professional. She knows the neighborhood, and the neighborhood knows her!
We took this tour through Brooklyn and it was amazing! Even though I knew the neighborhood I had no idea of the amount of history and fun facts I’ve learned. I’ll take more of these tours when I return to NYC. Renee was a delight and so knowledgeable!
Renee’s Brooklyn tour was really terrific! She is knowledgeable, warm and down to earth. We learned a ton and had so much fun! We hope to take her Greenwich Village tour too!
This late review is about the Greenwich Village Neighborhood Tour I joined back in June 2024. The guide Renee was awesome! She was fun and knowledgeable. She knew a lot about the neighbourhood and could give us direction very precisely. I joined the Chinatown tour by another company and it was boring...Renee's pace was not too fast but we still got to visit different places. She also educated us with local social etiquette. I really enjoy her tour. PS. If you are a fan of Friends, you will walk pass the building which the show used as transition.
The Tour with Michael was great. If you want to get information about New York and his buildings he is the one you should ask. Great Tour, greate gut.
Highly recommended.
Such an incredible tour! Super interesting, with so many important historical details. We loved every second of it. Our tour guide was so fun and knowledgeable, would highly highly recommend booking!
Where: The tour meets on the corner of Bogart & Seigel Streets, in front of Brooklyn's Natural & Swallow Cafe, 49 Bogart St, Brooklyn, NY 11206, by the Morgan Street Subway Station (map). The tour ends near the corner of Wyckoff Ave and Jefferson St.
TIP: If you do have a budget or just like to save money on attractions, see if buying one of the many tourist concession passes is right for you.
