HI This was a great tour!, led by Justin. I got a lesson in NY/Brooklyn history. Born/broughtup Boston my history teacher didnt teach much about Fort Hamilton or Fort Lafayette. I'd recommend to anyone. See pix attached.

great tour, but keep in mind you have to call ahead, make a reservation and have a Real ID. in NY it’s a star and a circle. To those people that didn’t get in, just follow the rules.
