Radical & Weird History Bike Tour of New York City

Overview

What separates my guided tours from the others is mine are customized based on the interests of my guests. The small group experience allows me to customize the route and stops, provide more options, and work together to create a unique itinerary.

The landmarks visited, the topics discussed, and the food & drink break options are all thoughtful inclusions I believe my guests will find a personal connection with.

The conversations held at each point of interest aim to build an appreciation of those who made New York City. At the end of the day, I hope to leave everyone, including myself, feeling inspired and moved by what they saw and learned.

We are a Parisian couple who had the pleasure of exploring an unusual and off-the-beaten-path Manhattan with Robbie as our guide. He enriched the tour with insightful commentary during our various stops. Robbie knows New York and its hidden gems inside out, and he shares this knowledge from unique and relevant perspectives, including historical, cultural, and political angles. Always attentive and responsive to our interests, Robbie is a highly professional, friendly, and considerate bike guide whom we highly recommend.

Robbie is a great guy and very passionate about what he does. Extremely knowledgeable about the city. Overall the tour was an amazing experience. I couldn’t believe how much of the city you could cover in one bike ride!
