Fun & Informative Bridge/Heights/DUMBO tour
Our tour guide Jon Nota was excellent. He had a great depth of knowledge about where we were walking. The general itinerary was perfect for a roughly 3 hour tour, kind of a nice teaser for a deeper dive into Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Bridge & Brooklyn Heights/DUMBO Tour Rocks!
John helped us cross the Brooklyn Bridge while filling our minds with historical context and awakening our eyes to the beautiful skyline that can only be seen when you leave Manhattan. We continued our historical deep dive, with a bit of fun pop culture facts sprinkled in, as we explored the DUMBO district and Brooklyn Heights. John was personable, getting to know us so he could share points about his city through a lens that would speak to each of us. We loved our tour, and we got more than our daily quota of steps completed!!

Outstanding service
Jon was amazing. Very knowledgeable and approachable. Pleasant to chat to. Good with both adults and kids. Loves to take photos for you if you wish. Knows the best spots. Fantastic experience. Would thoroughly recommend.

Amazing Brooklyn Bridge experience with Mike
Mike Manship was the guide for our walking tour. He is a rock star. The tour overall was amazing, especially because of his enthusiasm and energy that he brings during each of the stops to explain the history of the architecture in New York. He was also very considerate of me as I wasn’t feeling that well in the 38 degree Celsius scorching heat. Tip: Always bring a water bottle and don’t skip breakfast :P

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.

Excellent tour, beyond expectations
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.
