Il ponte di Brooklyn, Heights, Dumbo Tour

Mike was very knowledgeable and personable. Made everyone feel welcome and encouraged any questions. A really great tour.

Great experience. John was knowledgeable, funny, and friendly. Knows and clearly loves his city. The Brooklyn Bridge, Dumbo, Heights tour was full of historical and cultural info and surprises. Pace was perfect, he answered all questions and was clearly focused on us getting the most out of the tour. Also had lots of recommendations for food and theater and more.

Great experience all the way around! Very informative. Best way to see Brooklyn Bridge, Heights and Dumbo. John knows where the best pics are— and takes them for you too! Awesome day! He’s my guy for NY tours. He should be urs too!!!

Excellent tour guide - Jon was a wealth of information and history well beyond the bridge. Very reasonable cost for such a good tour. Wonderful views and photo-ops of the bridge and both NYC and Brooklyn skylines, etc. He even offered to take photos of all the individual parties in the group. The tour was fare more than we had expected. Highly recommend.

Everywhere you turn is another fantastic view!

The Golden Gate Bridge typically gets all the bridge love in this country, but for me I've always had an affinity for the Brooklyn Bridge, I mean it's iconic and there is no better backdrop on the globe. I had the pleasure of touring with Kassie, a well versed and informed guide who truly takes pleasure in her job. She was attentive, informative, knowledgeable, and very helpful. She made it a point to connect with everyone in the group and provide guidance and assistance not just for this tour, but helpful recommendations in the city. The walk itself across the bridge is fantastic, there are several great photo ops along the way and on a clear day, you'll definitely have some amazing shots of the city.

Our guide was polite and generous to everyone in the group, and did a good job getting us together to start off from City Hall Park. Despite a lot of people on the bridge that morning, Derrick got us across without hindrance and ably handled our insistence on stopping for photos every 20 yards (the weather was great that day). Once across, and while making sure we were all rested and refreshed, Derrick took us up to Brooklyn Heights with warm welcomes and friendly greetings in any stops or shops we visited along the way. As we walked Derrick shared the history of Brooklyn and the neighborhood around us, and kept us all informed and amused with stories of notable locals and celebrity A-listers, past and present, that called The Heights their home, delivered with great jokes and sometimes even music! After helping us all get photos of the day, Derrick took us back via Gleason's gym, an unexpected but pleasant surprise, then helped us back to the subway station. No complaints, really enjoyed and do recommend it.

Great tour would highly recommend! John was an engaging caring guide who really connected with the people in our group. He made the tour personal and special. The information we learned about the bridge and surrounding areas could not have been gotten from a guide book, nor could the recommendations for places to eat and drink in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Thank you for a fabulous morning John.

The tour surpassed all of our expectations. Jon’s love of NY’s architecture, history and the arts, along side his natural storytelling prowess makes this a must do activity.

Great experience! To be honest, I didn’t know there were so many interesting facts about NYC. Before, I used to just walk around without really understanding what I was seeing, but that definitely changed after this tour. Fully recommended!
