In their words
“The guide gave a lively, well-paced history of the bridge and Brooklyn, with plenty of time for photos before finishing near lunch in DUMBO.”
— Kenneth R., 2026
“Informative and enjoyable overall, though on a busy day the larger group meant a little standing around waiting to regroup on the bridge.”
— Kristen B., 2026
“Loved walking the bridge and hearing how it was built from a guide who clearly knew Brooklyn inside out and took great photos for us.”
— Nathalie A., 2026
“Great guide and history, but be aware the walk ends well away from where it starts, so plan on taking the subway back.”
— Charley D., 2026
“Five generous tastings, from pizza to dessert, plus real Brooklyn history along the way. We came away full and glad we did it.”
— Trey R., 2026
“Good guide and good food. A couple in our group felt it was a little pricey for the number of stops, but we enjoyed it.”
— Geraldine F., 2026
“A small group, a perfect crossing of the bridge with a knowledgeable guide, then Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO. Highly recommended.”
— Leslie J., 2026
“A flexible way to reach the sights, but expect crowded buses, patchy audio and long waits at the busier stops.”
— A traveller, 2026
“A fun ride over the bridge with great views. Note this operator's booking is non-refundable, and bike quality can vary, so check before you set off.”
— A traveller, 2026
“A classy, heavily narrated architecture cruise on a lovely yacht — best for adults who want the detail rather than a party boat.”
— A traveller, 2026
