Itinerary
Historic park where General George Washington read the Declaration of Independence, surrounded by City Hall, Municipal Building, Tweed Courthouse, the Woolworth Building and other icons of the city.
John Augustus Roebling's masterpiece combines engineering and art. We'll ride over with lots of stops for pictures of the Manhattan and Brooklyn skylines.
Brooklyn Heights is where we'll find elegant 19th century brownstones on quiet, tree lined streets. See why Matt Damon, Paul Giamatti and Emily Blunt and John Krasinski made this neighborhood their home.
The Promenade of Brooklyn Heights is bar none, the best place in New York City to appreciate the soaring skyline of Wall Street's towers. We'll stop here.
NYC's newest park sits beneath the bridge. Opened in 2010, and still just getting finished up, this 85 acre park is a post-industrial repurposing of six abandoned commercial shipping piers.
DUMBO was once a bustling hub of shipping and industry with many 19th century warehouses. It has been reborn today as a glamourous neighborhood that is at once both glitzy and gritty.
We'll head back to Manhattan Bridge, affording us bird's eye views of north Brooklyn, Queens and the East River.
We'll return to the shop via the East River Park and swing through parts of Chinatown and the historic South Street Seaport.

Scott is a knowledgeable tour guide who made the tour fun and informative! Highly recommend him and any tour he guides!!!
This is a two hour bike trip with a competent friendly and knowledgeable leader named Scott. Bike and helmet were provided, and Scott adjusted and changed bikes if needed. I am a 70 year old and took this tour with my 2 teenage grandkids and younger brother. I am active but hadn’t been on a bike in decades! Riding the uphill part to cross the Brooklyn Bridge was a bit difficult for me and I walked the bike for a short part of it - but the majority of the ride was flat or downhill. My family had no trouble at all and loved it! Scott was super helpful to me and very kind! We had amazing views of Manhattan, several picture opportunities, and really enjoyed seeing the parks and neighborhoods in Brooklyn. What a great and unique activity! We all loved it. Great for families or couples or solos! If you’re thinking about it- do it!
Had the pleasure of taking Scott’s Brooklyn Waterfront bike tour this past weekend. It was a great experience and Scott was a very knowledgeable guide.
The ride it self was not hard and Scott rode at our pace the history of Brooklyn and the bridge was very informative and Scott was great at it.
Had a great time! Loved seeing the beautiful views and the Brooklyn heights area! Scott was great!!
We had a wonderful experience on a personal guided tour across the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. Our guide, Scott, was a friendly and engaging person who shared many fascinating stories—not only about the bridge’s origins, but also about the DUMBO area and much more. He took his time to make the tour special, even helping us take photos together along the way, which we really appreciated. It felt relaxed, personal, and very informative. This is truly a great tour, and we would highly recommend it—definitely a five-star experience!
A great way to see a part of the city which you wouldn’t find on your own. Scott’s local knowledge of development in the area was fun and informative.
Scott led an unforgettable bike tour of the most beautiful parts of New York City. He was very knowledgable, funny, and intent on ensuring everyone was satisfied and enjoying their time. I highly recommend this tour and would candidly do the exact same one again in the future. It was the best tour/organized activity I did on my NY vacation.
Scott was an excellant tour guide. The information he shared was very interesting. He was very wasy to work with. He was very responsive to texts. I would highly recommend Scott for any of his tours of NYC and Brooklyn.
Excellent bike ride. Scott was very personable and knowledgeable. Highly recommend as a way to see Brooklyn. I would have never experienced the waterfront or neighborhoods if it was not for this trip. It makes me ant to come back and explore more of Brooklyn
Meeting point was easy to find and our tour guide Scott was waiting for us. The bikes were of good standard and an assistant made adjustments to ensure a comfortable ride height. Helmets were provided !. Scott introduced himself and explained tour route. As long as you posess a reasonable level of fitness, you will enjoy the tour , plenty of stops and opportunities to take photos. Scott provided lots of historical information about Brooklyn and showed many locations we were unaware of. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend.
Scott was a great tour guide and very informative - he was happy to stop to allow us to take many photos
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing bike tour in NYC! I had such a great experience on this bike tour! The route was well-planned, the views were incredible, and the whole ride was smooth and fun. Scott was amazing — super knowledgeable, friendly, and kept my husband and I engaged the entire time. He shared great local insights and made the tour feel personal. Highly recommend this experience if you’re visiting New York.
The most fun experience we have. Scott is knowledgeable and a fun tour guide. Would do it again. So many things to see around Brooklyn waterfront. So beautiful. ถ้าใครมาเที่ยวนิวยอร์ก ขอแนะนำให้มาขี่จักรยานเที่ยว สนุกมาก เหนื่อยมากตอนขึ้นสะพาน แต่ก้อสนุกสุด ขอแนะนำtourคุณScott ดีมากค่ะ
Our tour with Scott was all-around fantastic! He is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent guide. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to learn more about the history of Brooklyn and lower Manhattan while enjoying stunning NYC views.
Two of us went on the biking tour and we both enjoyed it! It started with a text from Scott sending a gps pin for the location 30 min before our time. Scott was a knowledgeable tour guide and made it a point to stop and point out great spots for photos, ice-cream and restrooms. If you and your family are looking for a biking tour this is a great option with excellent communication. The tour is approximately 6 miles over 2 hours. You are required to bike over 2 bridges which have a steep incline that some people may find challenging. The bikes have pouches on front and water bottle holders - if its warm out, take a bottle of water.
We had an excellent tour with Scott. He showed us the most beautiful viewpoints and gave us interesting information about the city.Don’t hesitate to book a tour with Scott, you won’t regret it! Thank you Scott!
Scott was a font of information and very personable. He clearly loves his city and wishes to share his vast knowledge with others. Even though I have visited NYC many times over the past 20 years, I still learned many new things about Brooklyn and NYC fun facts!
We did the Brooklyn Bike tour with Scott. Everyone (including the teens) loved it. Amazing views of Manhattan skyline and biking over Brooklyn Bridge was very cool. Biking through Brooklyn was a great highlight as well. 100% recommend as one of the best things to do in NYC.
The tour guide was very knowledgable and very considerate to making sure we stayed together on the tour.
The two hour biking tour over the Brooklyn Bridge was the perfect morning NYC fix Scott was knowledgeable & fun. Two thumbs 👍 up.
We had a great time. Highly recommend and a must if you want best views from Brooklyn overlooking NYC. Scott is as best as you can find tour guide.
Great tour! Very informative and interesting. It's a nice and easy way to see Brooklyn. Scott has a real knowledge of the area and love for it. Would definitely recommend.
From the beginning I knew Scott was going to be great. I messaged him with some scheduling limitations we had. He created a tour just for our group that wasn't listed. He responded quickly, thoroughly and personably, with an additional reminder the day before. We had some special requests that he willingly accommodated. He shared history old and more recent including, how Brooklyn had changed over time, as well as notable places shown in film and TV. As a fun addition, he took us by some celebrity homes. I can't think of a better way to experience Brooklyn. After the tour we are some amazing pizza at a place Scott recommended. 5 stars for sure.
Scott was fantastic. He was very accommodating to adjust to our schedule. He helped us setting up an electric bike for my husband. He had great knowledge of the region we toured. Would highly recommend!
Excellent tour guide! Very informative.friendly. Made great pictures from us at perfect spots!👌🏻 Thank you so much!
We were very lucky on 2 fronts; to have fantastic weather and to get our guide Scott all to our ourselves while we were a little out of season. As a native Brooklynite, Scott was the perfect guide to the Bridge area. We learned so much while enjoying a picturesque and fun bike ride in a wonderful area that many tourists miss altogether. Worth every cent.
Outstanding!! Great route and informative tour Our guide was great and fun and knowledgeable. Highly recommended, nice and comfortable ride, great way to see the sights of dumbo.
I love cycling. And it is my mission to cycle in as many cities and countries around the world as possible. The Brooklyn Bridge Waterfront Guided Tours was just the tour I wanted to take in New York, after having cycled in and around the Central Park in my last USA visit, back in 2016. The main attraction: cycling over the magnificent Brooklyn Bridge. And the tour didn't disappoint. Scott, our host, was very good and what really stood out about him was the fact that he was very communicative in the days leading up to the actual tour; reaching out, giving us enough instructions as to where to meet and making sure that we know he is on top of things. For someone like me, who was visiting the USA from a foreign land (India), this helps. The tour was great. Cycles were in good condition. He guided us all through the busy roads really well. The ride was terrific, especially across the Brooklyn bridge. Brooklyn was also very beautiful. We saw so many cyclists there; NY and Brooklyn is a very cycle-friendly place. We had a small stop at the Time-Out market at Brooklyn. I really loved the tour. Do not miss this one, if you are travelling to NY. it's absolutely worth it.
the most amazing bike tour ever! i had the greatest time getting to know NYC via bike which is a completely different experience! I love Scott’s New York.
Really amazing experience with a talented guide : highly recommended . The bikes are good quality and easy to ride. Everyone can do it!
Scott was a great tour guide Was organized and well run Bikes were in good shape and helmets too My Favorite part was crossing the Brooklyn bridge and dumbo neighborhoods
Slightly delayed start as the bike collection/meeting point was really busy, Scott was a great guide with a good knowledge of the area, the views from Brooklyn were amazing, overall a great experience which I’d definitely recommend.
Perfect way to experience a bit of Brooklyn for the first time. Bicycling was easy and such a great way to cover ground and get the most bang within a two hour period. Scott is very knowledgeable about the area and its history; and he took us on a very scenic route. This was one of the highlights of our visit to NYC. I’d highly recommend this tour if you’re new to this area.
This tour was a lot of fun but crossing the Brooklyn Bridge by bike was a bit nerve wracking! The bike lanes are narrow and non-tourists go speeding by on e-bikes, e-scooters and even mini-motorcycles, so you really can't look around and enjoy the view. The tour of Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO was good.
The cycling tour started in Manhattan and looped around Brooklyn. Scott is very knowledgeable of the area especially Brooklyn, making the trip educational as well as great cycling. Scott knew the ideal routes that got us to great areas of Brooklyn and the waterfront, and most of the route was on established bike paths. Riding round trip across the Brooklyn bridge was amazing, with beautiful views in both directions. Love that the ride across was on a dedicated bike path.
The trip was well planned. We visited numerous interesting sites. Scot has a wealth of both historical and contemporary knowledge about architecture and public spaces. He adapted the tour to match our interests.
Fabulous bike tour of Brooklyn. Scott was a fantastic tour guide with threat knowledge of the area. Would highly recommend.
Great tour. My husband and I did the Brooklyn Bridge & Brooklyn Cycle tour starting from NYC with Scott last weekend. The cycle tour was fun and very informative thanks to Scott’s extensive knowledge of New York and Brooklyn. Would definitely recommend using Scott to anyone visiting New York and looking for a good tour.
Scott was a great guide. He kept track of our group of six really well, stopping at intervals to make sure the group stayed together. He gave us insights about different neighborhoods. We live not too far away in Westchester and love having this fun, active way to get to know our nearest world city better! We would love to do another tour with him next time with our family.
Scott was a fun and relaxed bike tour guide, he paced the ride well and knew where to take us with little nuggets of fun facts, and tips on what to do around NYC. We loved having him as our guide!
It was wonderful, Scotts was a very kind and patient guide with my beginner English, he did everything to make sure we had a great experience, we had a lot of fun and took lots of photos, we highly recommend this tour
This was a great way to experience the Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn Heights neighborhood. We would highly recommend.
Fabulous tour of Brooklyn with Scott, who is a knowledgeable, friendly guide. Wonderful way to experience the sights and learning lots from Scott about the history and the local neighbourhood. would highly recommend this and any of Scott’s tours to anyone visiting NYC and be sure to book another tour if i ever visit again!
Very nice tour; beautiful views from the Brooklyn part of the city. Svott knows his way through town and knows where TV and movie stars live. Combined with the history of the place.
This tour was one of the highlights of my trip! Definitely recommend. Scott is awesome. He went at a good pace for us and shared so much info. Loved all of the scenic sights
We covered a lot of ground on our 2-hour cycling tour and leaned so much! Scott is a polymath. He spoke knowledgeably about the history of Brooklyn and the landmarks we paused to admire. We stopped at a few statues along the way and Scott explained who the statues honored and why these people were important to Brooklynites. He pointed out the various architectural styles along the route and how these evolved over time. He explained the history of the different bridges that connect Brooklyn with Manhattan, told us when they were built, the materials that were used in their construction and why the chosen materials changed over time. What we most enjoyed was our tour through Brooklyn Bridge Park and Scott's explanation of the park's development and the extensive efforts made to ensure the sustainability of the park - including through the selection of materials and reuse of existing structures. All in all, Scott is an outstanding tour guide. We're so glad we chose to spend a morning with him!
We thoroughly enjoyed the bike ride with Scott. His knowledge of the area was extensive and the tour was leisurely we did not feel like we were being whisked from place to place without chance to take in the sights. Whilst in Brooklyn Heights and stopped outside one of the stars houses, Amy Schumer, Scott was telling us that she lived there and the next thing she appeared in her car from the house and started waving and calling out to us. I like to think that Scott had orchestrated this as part of the tour 😂. Anyway it was a memorable moment and with or without Amy I would recommend this tour with Scott.
The tour was perfect for us. Scott is a fantastic guide. He kept us safe on our ride across the Brooklyn Bridge and on our tour of a couple neighborhoods in Brooklyn. It rained a little bit on us, but the ride was great. We got some amazing pictures. Scott knows the area well and knows how to navigate the city streets. He's friendly and personable. We enjoyed the entire tour. Thanks!
