6.A Day in Brooklyn Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 59 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $128

Ride through Williamsburg and DUMBO, see sites tied to Revolutionary War battles, and stop at an iconic 1864 archway. Guide John leads this English-language tour for up to 12 people, with bikes and helmets included. You return to the starting point after about five hours.

“John made this a wonderful day in his hometown for us. He shaped our tour individually when he noticed that we were able to follow him quicker than other (bigger) groups - we had the luck that we were only three. That way we saw even more than in the already full tour. John was very knowledgeable and on the other hand encouraged us to ask questions which he was able to answer in quite some detail. We loved this experience and will come back to get to know other parts of NYC with John’s Brooklyn Giro Bicycle Tours.”
