This trip was a good way to see a bit of downtown NY and a few sights in Brookyln. I thought we might make a few more stops and learn a bit more about the history of certain spots, but it was mainly just riding around and not having time to stop and take everything in. The ride is easy but the bridges are hard work - be prepared for the climb! If you're wanting to go for a scenic ride, this is a good trip, but if you want more of a guided tour with some stops for food or to take more photos, I'd choose a different tour.

Great tour, it is a bit challenging to bike around foot traffic, especially on the actual bridge. We enjoyed it and would likely do it again

Great bike tour! Our guide Ross was very knowledgeable.He went over all the safety instructions very carefully before we started.The bikes were in decent shape.He made sure our brakes,gears and tires were in order.For the most part we traveled on bike lanes and followed all the rules of the road,stopping at all red lights.We traveled through the lower east side into Chinatown and Soho.Over the Manhatten Bridge into Brooklyn.There we biked into the Dumbo community,Fulton Harbor and Brooklyn Heights.Ross stopped and gave us history of all neighborhoods.Then we came back to Manhatten over the Brooklyn Bridge into Battery Park and stopping at 911._br/_ I highly recommend the Brooklyn Bridge Bike Tour!

A highlight of our time in New York. A felt safe on the roads and the tour was informative and well paced. I'm 60 years old and found it a breeze.

A little faster then leisurely. My guide Dave was very informative and should have a had. A second person with them due to the number of people inthe group and the activities level of the group.

Review by: Rebecca H, October 2016
This tour was lots of fun for my teenage boys and me._br/_ It was a bit difficult going up the incline of the bridges, but not too bad._br/_ Our guide Wallace was great and knew so much about the city and sights._br/_ It was a perfect way to see the city and get some exercise too.

The bike tour took us through many areas we would not have seen on a bus tour, and it was refreshing to be outside getting the exercise. Although some of the biking was through congested vehicle and pedestrian areas, it was not too physically strenuous. While the tour was somewhat informational, it would have been much more interesting and beneficial to have a tour guide who was a native New Yorker rather than one who only lived there a couple years.

what a great Half day ride to Brooklyn vie one bridge and back over another. Our professorial retired tour guide was a wealth of information on Manhattam, Brooklyn, Dumbo and the East village.

Great tour and a wonderful experience to cycle over the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. Loved it.

The Brooklyn Bridge Bike tour was great. Our guide Eddie was a wealth of information. There were frequent stops along the tour where Eddie shared information about the different areas, buildings and bridges. We also rode across the Manhattan bridge. You stop at the top to take in the views and take pictures and to catch your breath. I rode in the 5 borough bike tour in 2015 and you do not cross these bridges in that tour.

The tour led by Eddie was sensational! He was very good at allowing for breaks as needed and was very knowledgable about NYC! The ride was super, weather perfect and guide superb. I would do this again! So much fun!!

Great tour ! Our guide Eddie was great! Very energetic and informative. _br/_ I lagged behind on the Brooklyn bridge but the group stops midway so it was easy to catch right up. My 12 year old son loved it!

It was a great tour and a great ride. On a weekend it is extremely busy on the Brooklyn bridge with pedestrians and also other riders. Hundreds of people. I would recommend if you can taking the tour in a weekend day. It was hard to ride across the bridge with so many pedestrians ignoring the fact that there is a bike lane and end up blocking the bridge. The tour guide was very friendly and made it a great experience.
