Perfect Brooklyn bike tour! - Took this tour when my sister was in town, and it was the best thing we did! We booked the Brooklyn waterfront tour. Our guide Dave was great, telling us some interesting history about the area during breaks, and giving us plenty of time to take photos of the Manhattan skyline. I'd never really been in that area before and it was such a vibe. My sister loved it too and wants to move to Brooklyn now, lol. The bikes were lightweight and high-quality, really pleasant and easy to ride. I've added Original NYC tours to my list of high quality things to do when people visit me! Would be cool to do another one in the fall when the leaves start to change. Thanks Dave!

After this Tour, You're Basically a Local - If you're looking for an active and unique way to see the city of New York, there's no better place than this tour. With so many fun photo ops, and little stops along the way to buy a treat/coffee or learn the history of the area from your local guide Dave, you really get to sit back and enjoy the city in a unique way. Biking amongst locals on their way to work or to meet a friend. I'm so glad I took this tour, my favorite way to get to know a new place is experiencing it like a local, and this did that for me.

Great vibes, great times!! - It was such a great time! So much thought went into it, and you can tell they’re excited about what they’re doing. Dave is a great guide, he adds a lot of interesting information at each stop. We saw a lot of beautiful areas we wouldn’t have probably seen otherwise! I loved the energy and that it was leisurely. We got some great pictures, and made some great memories!!!

Greats vibes, great times!! - I cannot recommend this tour enough!!
We wanted a fresh, local, perspective on Brooklyn, and we found the perfect place. Dave was such a fun and great tour guide. You can tell that they put a lot of effort and made sure that it would be enjoyable for guests. I loved the little touches they had; like questions and little souvenir prizes. Prizes I actually wanted to win too! The tour was also the perfect length, sometimes that’s hard to find a tour that doesn’t drag on. Overall, one of my favorite things I did in Brooklyn. We all had a great time, and got some beautiful pictures.

Cool tour of Brooklyn - Had a fantastic time on our bike tour! We were deciding between this one and one in Central Park and delighted we chose to explore Brooklyn instead. Such a fun way to explore and learn about the history of Brooklyn and New York. Dave and his team were great from getting us set with the bikes to guiding us along the East River - with lots of cool facts and great stops along the way. Can't recommend it enough!

The well-planned route highlighted both famous landmarks and hidden gems, blending urban adventure with leisurely exploration.
The bikes were comfortable and easy to ride, perfect for cyclists of all levels. Our guide, Dave, was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing fascinating stories about Brooklyn’s rich history and vibrant culture.
In short, the Original NYC Bike Tour in Brooklyn is a fantastic way to see the city from a fresh perspective. I highly recommend it for a fun, scenic, and informative ride through one of NYC's most dynamic areas. Five stars all the way!

Best way to see the skyline!! - The best way to see New York City!! The skyline looked perfect from Brooklyn and we got to see an area that we wouldn’t know to go to just on our own. The tour was interesting and the tour guide, Dave, is so funny and knowledgeable! We got the best photos - would definitely do it again!!

10/10 Biking Experience! - I had an absolute great time on this bike tour learning more about Brooklyn! Coming from the SF Bay Area, I didn’t know much about this side of town and was amazed at how much knowledge I gained after the tour. Dave was an excellent tour guide and had pictures/descriptions of each stop! Highly recommend to all my friends visiting NY/Brooklyn. Huge plus are all the Instagram worthy shots!
