A great way to see a part of the city which you wouldn’t find on your own. Scott’s local knowledge of development in the area was fun and informative.
Lisa_L, Aug 2025
Scott was a great tour guide and very informative - he was happy to stop to allow us to take many photos
Emily_T, Jul 2025
Scott was a font of information and very personable. He clearly loves his city and wishes to share his vast knowledge with others. Even though I have visited NYC many times over the past 20 years, I still learned many new things about Brooklyn and NYC fun facts!
Denise_B, Jun 2025
The tour guide was very knowledgable and very considerate to making sure we stayed together on the tour.

This was a great way to experience the Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn Heights neighborhood. We would highly recommend.
Patty_P, Jun 2024
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.
Marion_U, Mar 2024
Getting the bikes was easy and quick. The tour guide was knowledgable. Weather was cold but sunny and we were able to take great pictures.

Thanks for letting be a part of your fun family outing. I had a great time, too.

We had an amazing time on our Brooklyn Bike Tour. It was scheduled to downpour and Scott gave us the opportunity to reschedule but we were leaving the next day so we wanted to go for it. We were the only 2 people and Scott took us in a downpour and gave us one of the best tours we’ve ever been on. So much fun, Brooklyn is an amazing area we fell in love with and he had so much information for us. I feel like we got to see so many things we would not have ever even known about and we even got some breaks in the weather! Also, thank you Scott on the restaurant recommendation, that truly was the best pizza we’ve ever had. Thanks!!!!

The bike tour was excellent. Scott was a great tour leader who had fantastic knowledge of the Brooklyn area. Tour with Scott definitely recommended.
Brigitte_L, Sep 2023
Scott was great. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I absolutely loved my bike tour. Such a great way to explore and see an area. I highly recommend and will definitely do another one next time I’m in town.
Lucy_S, Sep 2023
What a fantastic excursion! My sister and I had a brilliant time and want to thank Scott for giving us such a great time! We wanted to visit Brooklyn, however we probably wouldn’t have ventured too far over the bridge on our own. This was a great way of seeing some of the tourist spots with a local guide and I would thoroughly recommend. We loved Scott’s popular culture knowledge on celeb spots too! Thank you also for the gorgeous lemonade - that was a brilliant touch (and well needed!). All superbly organised - we found it easy to find the meeting point and Scott was there and waiting for us when we arrived. Would highly recommend. Thanks Scott!
Ellena_H, Sep 2023
It was beautiful. The guide was very knowledgeable about the city and brought us to places I would not have seen. It was lots of fun and I highly recommend it.
Katrina_S, Sep 2023
We enjoyed every aspect of this lovely tour. Comfortable pace, lots to take it, and gorgeous views throughout.
Flavio_C, Sep 2023
Nice bike tour, seen many places you couldn't see by ourselves, fantastic view of NYC, Scott is a perfect guide
Christian_H, Aug 2023
This was one of our best bike tours we have ever been on, and we have biked Chicago, San Fran, New Orleans, Tahoe, Berlin, Vienna, Rome and more. Scott is a first class, very knowlegeable, great story teller and overall fantastic bike tour guide. We extreemly recommend this bike tour and the picture stops were fantastic. A++ Next time we are in NYC we hope to do another one of his tours if available.
Deirdre_B, Jun 2023
Definitely worthwhile, Scott was an excellent, knowledgeable guide who showed us parts of Brooklyn that we wouldn't have otherwise experienced.
Anne_B, May 2023
I enjoyed discovering Brooklyn because I had never been there. Nice fun facts and interesting stories by Scott. He was also very aware of the dangers of riding on the road and looked out for us. Thanks Scott!
Alissa_N, Apr 2023
Very safe, very bike friendly. Scott was a terrific tour guide. Had a great time. Very vast knowledge of NYC and Brooklyn. Would definitely recommend!
Trakia_W, Apr 2023
Scott was a great guide he is very knowledgeable and shared loads of history. Recommend upgrading to an ebike if you are not a regular biker...if in the area be sure to book with Scott for a tour!
Christine_A, Dec 2022
Biking over the Brooklyn Bridge was fantastic! I was excited to try the new lanes that were added specifically for people on bikes. In the past, I had had to go mingle with pedestrians, and the congestion was awful. Thanks to Scott for being such a great tour guide!
Blathnaid_L, Dec 2022
Scott was an engaging guide. He shared lots of interesting local knowledge and history. He made sure that the roads we traveled on were safe for bikes and stop off points had the best views. Scott, very kindly, brought along some hot spiced cider to warm us up on a frosty New York day.
RICARDO_O, Nov 2022
Great Bike Tour around Brooklyn. Fabalous experience crossing Brooklyn bride by bike. Amazing views of Manhatan. Scoot was an excelent guide. The 2 hour tour was perfect for our Family and children.
Emer_D, Oct 2022
Scott, our guide, made this trip. His love of NY, endless stories and civic involvement are awesome. This made the tour endlessly entertaining.
We learned a lot: from the billion oysters being seeded in the Hudson, to the fact that Matt Damon closed a street with a crane to install furniture. The weather and views were stunning and the Brooklyn bridge is a marvel. I can't recommend this tour highly enough.
LIsa_P, Sep 2022
Our guide Scott was super nice, knowledgeable and accommodating!! Was an easy ride, in a nice small group and he even provided homemade lemonade!!! Bikes were in decent condition and helmets were provided.
Thomas_A, Aug 2022

It was great biking on the Brooklyn Bridge and along the Brooklyn waterfront. Our tour guide Scott was very knowledgeable and we learned a bit of history while we biked.
Gaganjit_B, Aug 2022
Great information provided by a very knowledgeable guide (Scott). He went at a good pace for the group and had a lot of cool tidbits of information of areas we visited along the way. Highly recommended!
