    Best Tour of Any Kind in Our Lifetimes!
    Diane_H, Nov 2023
    Jon, our private Tour Guide, was personable and patient with our questions, knowlegable about the Bridge's history and architecture- very insightful. He knew the Roebling family history well, and 1000+ points for his many shout-outs to the critical, central role that Emily Roebling played in the Bridge's completion! Plus, it was a sunny, clear evening, and the Sunset was absolutely spectacular. I would recommend Jon's tour to anyone.
    Unique way to enjoy this famous bridge!

    We enjoyed this tour a lot. Our guide John has a lot of knowledge of the bridge and its history. He will take you to the best spots for pictures and he will share a lot of great and interesting information. Thank you John, we had a very good time and you were great!
    Jonathan... the Brooklyn Bridge Star, and best tour guide ;)
    Sally_L, Jul 2022
    We had an amazing time with our guide Jonathan. His passion and knowledge for the Brooklyn Bridge was outstanding. He so rightly said when we were talking that a bridge is just a bridge until you know about it's history and he was so right. The background of the architecture, building and all it's history were mind blowing. It was such a hot day and we had such a great experience. Jonathan is a credit to your team and I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Jonathan for such a great day :) Sally and the Family xxx

    Jon was an excellent tour guide! He shared many excellent stories about the people who designed the Brooklyn Bridge, the building of the bridge, and the bridge today. I am going to take the tour again with family!
