Research before your visits and walk at your speed and look at your choices. We did and had a much better experience.

The great adventure of the Roebling famiily's pursuit of building a magnificent bridge from Manhattan to Brooklyn comes to life on this excellent walking tour. Lead by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, Mandy Edgecomb, this tour featured a bottom to top look at the building of the bridge in the late 1800', and some if it's unique features and human interest stories. If you are a fan of the bridge and early NYC history - this is a must do tour!

Justin was full of fun and fascinating information. He seemed like he was enjoying the tour as much as we were! He kept everything moving along and enjoyable. It was a very quick 2 1/2 hours that I will do again. Thank you Justin!
