Privé Brooklyn Bridge-tour met een local
Beschrijving
Alle anderen komen naar de brug om een foto te maken en verder te gaan. Wij niet - we zullen de enorme inspanning begrijpen die is gestoken in het bouwen van de brug, de verloren levens, de schandalen en vieringen. Het is zo'n mooie brug, maar nog beter als je begrijpt hoe hij tot stand is gekomen. In veel opzichten is het verhaal van New York het verhaal van de Brooklyn Bridge. Bijna niets dat je in de stad ziet, bestond vóór de brug - we gebruiken de brug als een manier om de stad die eromheen verrees te begrijpen - de gebouwen, de andere bruggen, het transportsysteem, de mensen. En dan zijn er nog alle leuke verhalen die 140 jaar beslaan. We zullen 90 minuten lang de brug, de stad en hun geschiedenis verkennen.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
We ontmoeten elkaar in een van de oudste delen van Brooklyn. We lopen 30 minuten rond de voet van de brug, bewonderen de beste uitzichten en bespreken het geweldige verhaal van hoe het werd gebouwd
Dan lopen we over de brug, en krijgen de kans om de architectuur van dichtbij te bekijken. Wandelen over de Brug is een geweldige ervaring en we zullen praten over hoeveel en hoe weinig dit proces is veranderd in de afgelopen 140 jaar, het afronden van het verhaal van de bouw en de lange levensduur
We eindigen aan de Manhattan kant van de brug in het mooie City Hall Park waar we de alternatieve kant van de brug kunnen zien.

!Very interesting and informative! We learned so many fascinating facts about the bridge and its history.
Jon was an amazing host and shared in depth history pertaining to the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. He is passionate about his City and the Bridge that served as an architectural/engineering feat that took NYC to amazing heights!
Brooklyn bridge walking tour with Jonathan was probably the most memorable experience during our trip in New York City. He was knowledgeable, informative and passionate about the bridge. We highly recommend booking with Jonathan (local). Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!
If you want to walk the Brooklyn Bridge, and never forget you crossed it, go with Jonathan. He is extremely well informed; he knows about the details ánd the historical context. And, not a minor detail: he is a storyteller pur sang. You’ll hear about the family who built it, the disasters that happened on the way, about construction challenges in those days and why it’s still here today. During the walk he shows historical pictures and drawings for a better understanding. Honestly, after having crossed the bridge with him, you are as passionate about it as he is. / This message is from a historian from the Netherlands.
Jon, our private Tour Guide, was personable and patient with our questions, knowlegable about the Bridge's history and architecture- very insightful. He knew the Roebling family history well, and 1000+ points for his many shout-outs to the critical, central role that Emily Roebling played in the Bridge's completion! Plus, it was a sunny, clear evening, and the Sunset was absolutely spectacular. I would recommend Jon's tour to anyone.
Jon was knowledgeable and passionate about the subject. Great experience with valuable insights about this iconic bridge!

We enjoyed this tour a lot. Our guide John has a lot of knowledge of the bridge and its history. He will take you to the best spots for pictures and he will share a lot of great and interesting information. Thank you John, we had a very good time and you were great!
We had an amazing time with our guide Jonathan. His passion and knowledge for the Brooklyn Bridge was outstanding. He so rightly said when we were talking that a bridge is just a bridge until you know about it's history and he was so right. The background of the architecture, building and all it's history were mind blowing. It was such a hot day and we had such a great experience. Jonathan is a credit to your team and I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Jonathan for such a great day :) Sally and the Family xxx
