Thinking about gifting the Brooklyn Heights & DUMBO walking tour!

I've been looking at this self-guided walking tour for my sister's birthday. She loves exploring new areas, and I think she'd enjoy the history behind Brooklyn! The fact that it’s free and you can do it at your own pace seems perfect. Has anyone tried this? Any tips?

Just finished the Brooklyn Heights & DUMBO tour, and wow!

I just did the walking tour last week, and it was awesome! The views from the waterfront are stunning. Listening to the stories about the area kept me really engaged. I did it solo, but can't wait to bring friends next time! Highly recommend if you want something chill yet fun.
