Brooklyn Bridge Waterfront Guided Bike Tour

Overview

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.

What To Expect

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.

Scott gives a engaging & detailed tour of the Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Heights/Waterfront, & Dumbo. He’s friendly & attentive making sure that we had plenty of time to stop & take pictures if we wanted. Additionally we felt safe biking through the city with him as our lead, and the route overall is easy with minimal traffic. Scott knows all about the neighborhood being a local who’s seen the city develop over time and can tell you the story behind every building along the route. Biking through the city is the best way to get around and I wouldn’t have wanted to see Brooklyn any other way! We will definitely be using Scott again in the future! :)

I had a wonderful biking tour with Scott! I’m glad that I decided to take it:) I saw wonderful views from Brooklyn bridge and found out that almost each building in Brooklyn has its history. Scott is not only a great guide who knows a lot, but also a very attentive person who cares about your comfort. I was the only one who attended this experience that day, and I am very grateful that Scott did not cancel it. Being an introvert, I also appreciated the fact that it was easy to communicate with Scott - he is easy-going and friendly, so I did not feel uncomfortable. Thank you!

Scott was a wonderful guide. The tour was a lot of fun. He knew a lot about the architecture of the buildings and the history of the city. We stopped for pictures often and rode through some beautiful neighborhoods. I felt safe and comfortable which is extra important now with covid.
