Around the World in a Day: Brooklyn’s Q Train Tour

Highlights

Description

All aboard for an unforgettable trip across one of the most diverse slices of America — Brooklyn.

Begin at the stately brownstones and skyline views of Brooklyn Heights, then ride the rails south through Victorian Flatbush, Caribbean Church Avenue, Jewish Avenue J, and Russian Brighton Beach before ending at iconic Coney Island. Along the way, your guide shares personal stories, local history, and hidden gems that bring Brooklyn’s heartbeat to life — from historic synagogues to corner bodegas, from Georgian bakeries to seaside boardwalks. It’s the world’s most fascinating urban adventure — all in one borough.
