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.

Very nice tour; beautiful views from the Brooklyn part of the city. Svott knows his way through town and knows where TV and movie stars live. Combined with the history of the place.

We covered a lot of ground on our 2-hour cycling tour and leaned so much! Scott is a polymath. He spoke knowledgeably about the history of Brooklyn and the landmarks we paused to admire. We stopped at a few statues along the way and Scott explained who the statues honored and why these people were important to Brooklynites. He pointed out the various architectural styles along the route and how these evolved over time. He explained the history of the different bridges that connect Brooklyn with Manhattan, told us when they were built, the materials that were used in their construction and why the chosen materials changed over time. What we most enjoyed was our tour through Brooklyn Bridge Park and Scott's explanation of the park's development and the extensive efforts made to ensure the sustainability of the park - including through the selection of materials and reuse of existing structures. All in all, Scott is an outstanding tour guide. We're so glad we chose to spend a morning with him!

We thoroughly enjoyed the bike ride with Scott. His knowledge of the area was extensive and the tour was leisurely we did not feel like we were being whisked from place to place without chance to take in the sights. Whilst in Brooklyn Heights and stopped outside one of the stars houses, Amy Schumer, Scott was telling us that she lived there and the next thing she appeared in her car from the house and started waving and calling out to us. I like to think that Scott had orchestrated this as part of the tour 😂. Anyway it was a memorable moment and with or without Amy I would recommend this tour with Scott.

The tour was perfect for us. Scott is a fantastic guide. He kept us safe on our ride across the Brooklyn Bridge and on our tour of a couple neighborhoods in Brooklyn. It rained a little bit on us, but the ride was great. We got some amazing pictures. Scott knows the area well and knows how to navigate the city streets. He's friendly and personable. We enjoyed the entire tour. Thanks!

We had a blast with Scott! Highly recommend this tour. We even saw Amy Schumer in her Brooklyn neighborhood! The ride is very manageable and not too strenuous.

We really enjoyed the bike tour. Scott was very nice and informative. On our own we would never have experienced the areas Scott introduced us too. The length and physical activity of the tour was perfect.

Great experience to get a spectacular view on Manhattan and learn about the history of a very pretty part of New York called Brooklyn. This was the first time we went to Brooklyn and we will definitely return to see more.
