An Enlightening New York Walking Tour! - I recently explored Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO in New York City on a self-guided walking tour, and it was an enlightening experience! I learned a lot about these vibrant neighborhoods and immersed myself in their rich history and culture. Highly recommended for anyone looking to discover the hidden gems of New York City!

Fun DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights Self-Guided Tour - A great experience although my phone storage space kept running out and the app did keep crashing so I had to keep reopening it. It would be great if the app had a place where you could take pics/vids and then send them to yourself at the end so your storage doesn't fill up fast 😃

More history - The tour could use more history and less general information like “that’s the Statue of Liberty”. The dumbo portion is hard to do on a weekend because the area is swarming with tourists. There were strange facts choices, as we were walking by the place where Walt Whitman worked, The tour audio instead decided to highlight a shake shack?? Not even the first shake shack, just a random one. I also think it could include more of Brooklyn heights which has so much more history and many significant sites. The tour doesn’t even take you on the promenade or by Arthur Miller’s house. But it was nice to generally have a structured walk all a beautiful fall day.
