Overview
Led by a guide who has lived in Brooklyn for three decades, this walk crosses the bridge on foot and continues along the Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO waterfront, taking in the promenade views back toward Lower Manhattan. It is the lowest-priced of our featured walks and the most accessible — listed as suitable for wheelchairs, strollers and infant seats — which makes it the easy pick for families and mixed-ability groups. Line it up against the other walks on Brooklyn Bridge Tours, or plan your own route with our visiting guide.
At two and a half to three hours it is unhurried, with plenty of time for the best photo angles from the Brooklyn side. If you would rather combine the crossing with tastings, the DUMBO food tour covers similar ground with a food focus.
