Fun tour to get us started in NYC!
Eddy, the tour guide was great and very knowledgeable about Brooklyn and NYC. A little scary riding over the bridges with e-bikes and illegal motorized vehicles on the bike path, but otherwise, it was easy riding. The views from Brooklyn were unforgettable! Very friendly staff!

Great tour; great driver/guide. We loved Jason!
The whole tour was amazing! Jason was our tour guide and he was a great driver and guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us get great photos even thougj the weather was not the best (rainy and windy all day!) Jason had a great attitude throughout, he helped us get in the van and out for all the stops! Highly recommend booking this and ask for Jason-you won’t be disappointed!!

Richard was awesome!
Richard was amazing! He is a born and raised in Manhattan, local who dove deep into the history for our group. He had rich commentary about every stop, and was always diligent to check in to see if his tour guests were doing well. He even gave us great recommendations to eat after!
