I had a wonderful time for a bike tour in Brooklyn. Would highly recommend this trip. I took the tour with Jeff who is not only a great guide but also a great person, we spent close to 4 hours riding along Brooklyn’s street stopping for explanations and open discussion about the world in general. Both the explanations and the discussions were interesting and educating. On my next visit to NYC (hopefully soon) I’m planning to take another tour runs by Brooklyn Giro Bicycle Tours.
Thank you so much... reach out to us so that we can plan a different route in Brooklyn for you john@brooklyngiro.com
Great experience! Our guide Jess was informative and thorough. We will go again. Jess knows the history. We rode around parks and near the water. We stopped when we wanted a break and kept a steady pace when riding.
Great tour by Jessica. She was super knowledgeable and we went to places in Brooklyn most tourists would never get to see.
Great cycle tour of Brooklyn neighbourhoods and sights, including amazing views back to Manhattan. Guide was awesome who took the time to explain history and local insights. Would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us. We hope to see you again on one of our other tours.
