Riding with Brooklyn Giro was the highlight of my vacation in NYC. I went on two tours--the Brooklyn Tour and the Manhattan & Central Park Tour.
Brooklyn Tour: This was the first tour I had with Brooklyn Giro, and it exceeded any expectations I could have had. The bikes were great, our pace was comfortable, and we saw/learned about so much of Brooklyn! And, our tour guide, Dana, was pretty awesome. She was full of interesting information and also very clearly an experienced cyclist in the city. Whether it was yelling at dangerous drivers or showing us the best way to make turns, she really made you feel comfortable on the road. I also really enjoyed the pit stop at Raaka Chocolate--it was the perfect break for a hot day of riding, and their unique flavors of chocolate were fun to try.
Manhattan & Central Park Tour: This tour was similarly awesome. We road by all of the big name buildings/attractions, and it was pretty exhilarating to bike through some of the crowded streets in Manhattan (it’s definitely not an experience available at my home town). Our tour guide this time was John, and he was just as great to ride with as Dana. No matter how hectic the road seemed to be, it was easy to feel safe with John leading the way. We even stopped by the pizza place where Spiderman worked towards the end of our trip. The pizza was great, and it was an unexpected fun addition to the tour.
Even though both tours covered a lot of distance, they seemed to go by in a flash. If I’m ever back in NYC, I’ll definitely be booking more tours with Brooklyn Giro.
