Walk the Bridge with Tom - Guide was there well ahead of tour start time….easy to get to meeting point, really interesting information about the area at well chosen stopping points. Good sense of humour and great stories. Time for photos and questions, clearly explained meeting points should we get separated at any stage, scheduled toilet break and Tom had plenty of time at the end to give onward directions & recommendations!

Worth including in an NYC trip - Did the Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO walk. Very informative guide (Emily) and great to understand the background to the area. Really glad we did this rather than just visit ourselves.

Characters brought to life by our tour guide Kyle - Kyle was our tour guide and we had an email from him the night before our tor to confirm meet up details. The instructions were clear and we easily found the starting point. Whilst we waited for the others to arrive, Kyle told us some extra information about the images on the NYC shield and some interesting beaver facts (or fiction..) it was clear from the outset that Kyle loves NYC. He was keen and articulate about the history of the place and clearly passionate about its history. Kyle was the right balance of enthusiasm and knowledge without being loud or overbearing. We walked at a reasonable pace and he answered our questions and shared some food and transport tips along the way. We learnt the inspirational story of the Brooklyn bridge and interesting stories about DUMBO. There was time to stop and take pictures along the way. We were shown some original items from when the bridge was still new, Kyle had brought these along himself which was further testament to his passion for the bridge and Brooklyn. Our tour was thanksgiving weekend on a beautiful but cold day so the bridge was VERY busy. We were able to track the tour flag and were told our next stops in case we were held up in the crowd and we were told we’re the toilets were en route if needed. My tips are to wrap up warm, the bridge is cold and parts of the walk are in the shade. We had a great time and learnt a lot about the bridge, its construction, inspiration and history. Kyle kept our interest by bringing the characters of John, Washington and Emily alive and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the tour.

Comprehensive tour with the right amount of information, covering the best spots! - Charles Kennedy was our tour guide and he was excellent. He was very accommodating, gave good pieces of information. At the end of the tour he even told us imposrtant information such as: where to eat in DUmbo, how to get back to Manhattan, what were the other locations to see on the Brooklyn side! In addition, he was aware that people would want photos, so made sure he gave everyone time to click and get clicked and even volunteered to click photos for them! Overall, I absolutely loved this tour and would recommend to everyone!
