Brooklyn Unplugged Tours is a Brooklyn-based tour operator offering guided walking tours, private street art excursions, hands-on graffiti workshops, and themed birthday parties across Brooklyn neighborhoods. The company leads recurring public tours such as the Best of Brooklyn Walking Tour, which explores Williamsburg’s culture, street art, boutiques and waterfront views, and multiple Bushwick graffiti and street art walking tours that highlight large-scale murals and the artists behind them.
Private options include tailored Graffiti & Street Art Walking Tours and Private Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO Walking Tours that trace the bridge’s history from Manhattan to Brooklyn and finish in the cobblestone streets of DUMBO. Workshop offerings include private Graffiti Art Workshops led by an established New York City street artist, where participants learn spray-paint techniques, watch demonstrations, and create their own pieces. For families, the Graffiti Birthday Party provides a one-hour, artist-led session for children aged 7 and up to produce individual or group canvases.
Tours range from short one-hour activities (birthday party workshops) to longer walking experiences of two to 2.5 hours (Best of Brooklyn and Brooklyn Bridge & DUMBO tours). Brooklyn Unplugged Tours focuses on local neighborhoods—Williamsburg, Bushwick, DUMBO—and emphasizes art, history, and photography opportunities. The operator is presented in travel roundups and directory listings, and its diverse schedule includes public and private departures tailored for tourists, families, students, and art enthusiasts visiting Brooklyn.
