One in seven Americans have roots in Brooklyn! Did you or your parents grow up in Brooklyn? Prepare for a journey of nostalgia on a return visit to the old neighborhood(s). Reminisce about the old shops, schools, synagogues/churches/houses of worship. See what’s still there, and what is long gone. Or ride through multiple old ethnic neighborhoods. Visit newly popular trendy districts to contrast the Brooklyn of old with the new hip Brooklyn! This is a very customizeable tour.
