Description
We'll see Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn Bridge Park and the DUMBO warehouse district. After a quick tour of City Hall area, we roll over the Brooklyn Bridge with stops for the perfect photo ops of the gorgeous Wall Street skyline. While there, I'll share historical insights into the twin icons of New York City's East River: the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges. We'll continue on to the charming brownstone streets of Brooklyn. After a stop at the beautiful Promenade, we'll zip through NYC's newest, most innovative and beautiful 85-acre waterfront playground, the Brooklyn Bridge Park (just opened in 2010). There will be stops and photo ops galore in the shabby-chic shipping and warehouse districts of DUMBO, Vinegar Hill and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. You’ll get a peek into the history of Brooklyn’s shipping industry that once thrived on these docks and cobblestone streets.

Itinerary
City Hall Park
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.
Brooklyn Bridge
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
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.
Brooklyn Heights Promenade
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.
Brooklyn Bridge Park
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
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.
Manhattan Bridge
We'll head back to Manhattan Bridge, affording us bird's eye views of north Brooklyn, Queens and the East River.
John V. Lindsay East River Park
We'll return to the shop via the East River Park and swing through parts of Chinatown and the historic South Street Seaport.

Highly recommend this bike tour with Scott!
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!

A Highfive-star experience
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...
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.

THE way to experience New York City
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.
