All parts were very interesting for us. We consider to book next time a trip again and even stay in a hotel in Brooklyn

Great way to tour Brooklyn

Morghan_G, Sep 2022

Frank was a great tour guide. Showed us amazing areas, took us to a wonderful pizzeria, and was observant of all our surroundings.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Thank you for your review. Frank is new to us and as a retired NYC police officer, he has so many storied to tell. We strive to hire locals with rich history.

Disappointing and not worth the money

Marga_v, May 2022

This bike ride was disappointing. According to the reservation it was 4 and half hours, but after 3 hours we were 'done'. According to the guide Seth, that was because we came from the Netherlands and cycle so fast. That was not true at all, because he was leading the way. I also missed Williamsburg in the tour, which I had been looking forward to. The guide indicated that it was because he would do Williamsburg with 2 from the group. The had the full day! Another hour! Real disappointing and not worth your money.

Response from Host, May 2022

You were not booked on a tour that goes into Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Brooklyn is a massive place with 60+ neighborhoods. Please read our tour descriptions. Your friend was too exhausted to continue with the next group that headed into North Brooklyn which includes Williamsburg and Seth offered to take you with them. You declined. You booked our Brooklyn Tour which is a tour of the original city of a Brooklyn, our hone, before Brooklyn was incorporated in the 1830s. While Williamsburg is fun and a trendy part of Brooklyn that has been developing since 2005 zoning law changes, we don’t see that on the tour you booked. We offer 9 different tours currently, some of which aren’t even listed. As avid cyclists we’d love to say we could simply take you all over Brooklyn, but that’s not doable.

Great Excursion

I really enjoyed the tour. Got lucky with the weather for February. Seth was a great guide. He gave us a good sampling of Brooklyn neighborhoods and he obviously knew his stuff. Go.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Thank you for your review. Seth does know his stuff!

Great

Cycling around Brooklyn

Raymond_S, Jun 2021

Had a great time riding around Brooklyn. Covers lots of ground but only for adult/teens who can navigate busy streets on a bicycle. Also, plan/hope for nice weather as it can get grueling and less enjoyable if the day is too hot. One critique is to reduce the visits to various neighborhoods, in exchange for more time at the famous sites (we rode through DUMBO without spending time there).

All the neighborhoods had such hidden gems

Lynnl203, Jun 2020

Saw about 6 neighborhoods in Brooklyn. Sampled the foods and stopped at a small brewery. Robby was great. Had the best day.

Great tour of undiscovered Brooklyn

Sam_H, Jul 2018

Mike was a very a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. We had a great day! Good blend of exercise and education on the high points of Brooklyn.

My legs are on fire 🔥

J'ai adoré cette sortie dans Brooklyn à vélo. On visite plein de coin et on a l'impression d'être en ballade. Le niveau de vélo requis est débutant donc pas de panique pour ceux qui ne maîtrise pas. De plus notre guide John était au top : bonne énergie, de l'humour, des explications et toujours soucieux de notre sécurité. Merci beaucoup, j'ai adoré et j'ai adoré Brooklyn
