Jeff was a wonderful tour guide and wanted to make sure we all enjoyed ourselves. Being in a small group was especially nice! The bike ride, however, is not for those who are faint of heart. You are biking in a city. Bike ride went longer than scheduled, but Jeff made sure this was fine with everybody. Very generous of him with his time!
Our tour guide Jeff was great. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Jeff constantly checked in the the group to make sure pacing was okay and to see if anyone needed to stop for anything. Jeff adjusted routes and stops based on feedback from the group. We even went a bit longer than scheduled as there was no afternoon tour that day. I really felt I got to see about half a dozen neighborhoods in the west side of Brooklyn. I would estimate the total tour was about 15km with some slight inclines. I wouldn't say it was particularly strenuous though. I would recommend if you want to see alot of Brooklyn in a short time frame.
An amazing bike tour customized by John to fit the guest. With a combination of Marylanders and Brazilians. With a combination of bike and margarita/distillery/miscellaneous stops, the bike tour was exactly what we wanted. The bikes were Cannondale and in great condition as well. John is super knowledgeable about Brooklyn and it’s many advantages. We definitely went to places we would not have found otherwise.
The stop for meat skewer and beer in Red Hood was super fun… let’s go to North Brooklyn on next visit. Thanks also for the crazy tip. Me and my guides alway appreciate them. The review was super kind. All the best.
Great bike tour but start location is is a drama. Very difficult to reach by public transport.
There’s a ferry stop directly in front of our location in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Direction cans be found on our site and it’s walkable from the York Street Subway stop which is the first stop into Brooklyn from Manhattan
What a fabulous experience! Jeff, our guide, was hospitable, knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. We biked about 14 miles and saw MUCH more of Brooklyn than we could've on our own. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind review. Brooklyn is much bigger than most think!
We really enjoyed our afternoon with Paul. He is quite knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. This is a great deal!
We had a fabulous tour with Jeff. My friend and I loved cycling round Brooklyn and Jeff was very knowledgeable about the area. My friend had a close encounter with a car mirror (all ok) it was the trucks fault, honestly.... Thanks Jeff for making our day. A side note if you are thinking of doing this tour, the address is easy enough to find but because the bikes are stored in a lock up on a small industrial type estate, we found it most confusing as there was no signage at all for Giro Bicycles or indeed a note such as mine explaining in a little bit more detail - it would be helpful to future customers if the owner addressed this.
Had a great bicycle tour with Jesse. She was very informative and accommodating. The tour was a great combination of exercise and sightseeing.
Jess has been with for about three years now and we love her too... thank you for taking the time to write a review.
Jeff led us on a fantastic adventure in Brooklyn! This was a fantastic way to spend our day - we hit so many neighborhoods, and Jeff knew the best ways to make the most of our time. So much to discover in Brooklyn, and each neighborhood had its own unique charm. Thank you to Jeff for a wonderful experience!
Yes indeed, there is a lot to see in Brooklyn - we could not possible cover all of it one day, but we try to throw in as much as possible... thank you.
Great weather. Guide was nice. Very thorough tour. There were so many parts of Brooklyn that I didn’t know about. I learned a lot. Brooklyn is absolutely gorgeous!
