As a Brooklyn native with a passion for travel, I’ve always been drawn to the vibrant cultures and diverse flavors of cities worldwide. My love for walking tours began in 2015 when I joined my first tour in Berlin, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Whether exploring the historic streets of Budapest, the modern marvels of Dubai, or the bustling markets of Seoul, I’m always on the lookout for unique experiences and local eats.
I recently obtained my New York City Sightseeing Guide License and would love for you to join a tour. Let’s uncover the hidden gems and stories that make Bedstuy special!
I had such a wonderful time on my walking tour of Bed Stuy Brooklyn. As a long-term resident of the neighborhood, it was really nice to learn facts and details about some of the places I see every day. Our tour guide Arielle was so friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. This was my first ever walking tour and she made the experience a pleasure. I loved learning about the history of the old boys high school, learning about the historical areas, and really seeing the beauty of different gardens and architecture we visited. But most importantly I enjoyed getting a deeper sense of the rich history that the neighborhood holds. I also learned about some neighborhood resources that are available in Restoration Plaza that I will be utilizing in the future! I was reintroduced to some neighborhood gems I would love to visit. I would definitely recommend this tour to both residents and out of towners alike!!!
Me and my family had a great experience on Elle’s Rhythm and Roots walking tour of Bed-Stuy. As a native there are areas that you walk through and notice but don’t take the opportunity or time to learn more about the area that surrounds you, however Elle’s tour gave me a new perspective of my neighborhood. She was both knowledgeable and personable, providing questions to think about in order to keep the tour engaging. Overall this was a great way to stretch my legs and learn more about the beloved Bed-Stuy. I would recommend for both natives and people who may be visiting for the first time.
This tour was so insightful. Didn’t know theres so much history behind Bed-Stuy. Guru really knows her stuff! She had all the answers to the questions.
Elle is incredibly knowledgeable about the neighborhood; it felt like attending a history lecture. She offered great suggestions for places to visit and has a wonderful sense of humor. She also took time for questions and shared some interesting trivia about Bedford-Stuyvesant. It was a delight to learn about the history of the area with her.
The experience with Elle was nothing short of amazing! She was very well versed on the culture of Bedford-Stuyvesant and provided historiacal facts along the way. The architecture and details of the historic stops showed the essence and culture of the community. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about Brooklyn.
