Overview

We'll see Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn Bridge Park and the DUMBO warehouse district. After a quick tour of City Hall area, we roll over the Brooklyn Bridge with stops for the perfect photo ops of the gorgeous Wall Street skyline. While there, I'll share historical insights into the twin icons of New York City's East River: the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. We'll continue on to the charming brownstone streets of Brooklyn. After a stop at the beautiful Promenade, we'll zip through NYC's newest, most innovative and beautiful 85-acre waterfront playground, the Brooklyn Bridge Park (just opened in 2010). There will be stops and photo ops galore in the shabby-chic shipping and warehouse districts of DUMBO, Vinegar Hill and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. You’ll get a peek into the history of Brooklyn’s shipping industry that once thrived on these docks and cobblestone streets.

    The Brooklyn Bridge Waterfront Guided Bike Tour with Scott was fantastic. We went on a Saturday afternoon. Scott was a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Before the trip- I was concerned that riding bikes in Manhattan and Brooklyn would be difficult- but the route Scott chose was perfect- surprisingly easy to maneuver without a ton of vehicle or pedestrian traffic. The sights were beautiful. The price was extremely reasonable for the experience. We would highly recommend this trip.

    The actual walk on the bridge connecting Brooklyn to Manhattan was an experience. We were able to take pictures of the two borroughs and especially the bridge itself, which has an interesting history. The transformation of Brooklyn area ( DUMBO) to this trendy place to hang out and live away from the noise of Manhattan, was also amazing.The Brooklyn Park is a little oasis of nature for the neighborhood and visitors. My niece was so excited that she got to feed a friendly squirrel! Thank you Scott for a tour to remember! Evangelia & Carolina

    Fantastic tour. Covered a lot of Brooklyn’s sights and charms in a fun way and at a good manageable pace. Scott was a really good guide and gave us anecdotes throughout and kept the tour enjoyable and fun. He also gave us lots of recommendations during the trip and even afterwards for the rest of our time in New York. Thank you so much!
