Hi everyone! I’m Guillaume, and I’m thrilled to connect with you! Originally from France, I’ve made my home in the vibrant city of New York, where I work as a certified tour guide. My greatest joy is sharing the enchanting streets of NYC with all of you!
Join me for an exciting adventure through the lively neighborhoods of Brooklyn! This unique tour will immerse you in two iconic spots: Bushwick, a true paradise for street art lovers, and North Williamsburg, the heart of New York’s hipster culture.
**The Bushwick Collective (approx. 1.5 hours)**
Get ready to step into an extraordinary open-air gallery! Here, you’ll discover over 50 stunning murals created by artists from around the globe. I can’t wait to share the fascinating history of this creative collective and how it has helped revitalize the neighborhood. We’ll identify various techniques and styles, from traditional graffiti to modern masterpieces.
As we wander through the side streets, you’ll be delighted by hidden gems and surprising artworks that truly bring the neighborhood to life. Witness firsthand how street art transforms the atmosphere and vibe of this incredible area!
Afterward, we’ll hop on the subway to Williamsburg, a neighborhood with a history of transformation. Along Bedford Street, I’ll narrate the inspiring story of how these industrial surroundings have evolved into Brooklyn’s creative hotspots. Stroll down Williamsburg’s main street with me, and yes, I’ll take you to sample the best cookies in New York—definitely a treat you won’t want to miss! As we explore, you’ll experience the delightful mix of vintage shops, trendy cafés, and captivating art galleries.
Let’s also take a moment to marvel at the architectural evolution of this neighborhood, from repurposed warehouses to stylish new residential complexes.
