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.

The trip was well planned. We visited numerous interesting sites. Scot has a wealth of both historical and contemporary knowledge about architecture and public spaces. He adapted the tour to match our interests.

Great tour. My husband and I did the Brooklyn Bridge & Brooklyn Cycle tour starting from NYC with Scott last weekend. The cycle tour was fun and very informative thanks to Scott’s extensive knowledge of New York and Brooklyn. Would definitely recommend using Scott to anyone visiting New York and looking for a good tour.
