Great tour that is recommended!

Great tour with very kind, knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed it very much, but so cold that by the end we were frozen. All part of the wonderful experience of NYC. Highly recommend. The only small thing is that the full information on the website said that ferry tix back across at the conclusion of the tour were included. This turned out to be not the case and the lovely guide Michael seemed surprised that I mentioned it. See below: Enjoy a classic New York experience by walking across the Brooklyn Bridge • Uncover the industrial charm of Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood • Learn about NYC's history and culture from your guide • Includes complimentary ticket for the East River Ferry, traveling from Brooklyn back to Manhattan. No major issue with this but it does need to be taken out of the information because I did my planning to get back to our accommodation from where I thought we’d end up - at Pier 11. Thank you.

Operator response

Thank you for your thoughtful review and recommendation! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and Michael's knowledge. We also appreciate you pointing out the ferry information. We're sorry for the confusion and will review the listing to ensure it's accurate. We hope to welcome you back on another NYC adventure!
