New York, USA
Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Barclays Center is right in the middle of downtown Brooklyn and surrounded by vibrant neighborhoods like Gowanus, Boerum Hill, and Fort Greene. Get a sense of what else happens in Brooklyn (aside from serious basketball, of course) through its neighborhoods, food, drink, and history.
Your local guide will meet you at a subway station and lead you on a personalized excursion that will hit some of Brooklyn’s most iconic spots. We may visit a sprawling food court with tons of local food and drink options, or an immigrant-run Middle Eastern falafel joint. Perhaps we’ll get a peek inside one of the borough’s local craft breweries to see where innovative beer is made and hang out with locals in the tap room. Or if weather permits, we may find our way to a rooftop bar to see the borough from a different perspective.
As you stroll, chat about the most recent happenings in the NBA and hear the latest on the Nets. There’s also an opportunity to stop by a nearby shop that sells Nets gear so you can be properly outfitted before the game.
Throughout it all, you’ll head into local neighborhoods getting a glimpse of either some iconic brownstones or some stunning street art murals. Learn about the history of these neighborhoods and how Brooklyn has bounced back to be a thriving borough that now rivals Manhattan as a place to live, hang out, and create.
