Manhattan Neighborhoods Bike Tour

Posted By : glennk611
My wife and I traveled to NYC to show our 14-year old granddaughter everything this great city has to offer. We took the two bridges tour with Brooklyn Giro and Frank was our guide. Crossing the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges by bike was definitely the highlight of our trip until we took the all-day Manhattan tour a few days later (again with Frank as our guide). There are many ways to get around NYC and see the sights, but pedaling throughout neighborhoods (especially Brooklyn Heights and Greenwich Village) made it truly an amazing experience. From Dumbo to Battery Park to Central Park, there’s no better way to experience everything NYC has to offer than riding at a leisurely pace, stopping for photo breaks, and getting a history lesson from Frank.
We’ve been on bike tours around several of the world’s greatest cities and Frank is at the top of our list of most knowledgeable and enjoyable guides. He catered the tour to our granddaughter and made sure she left with incredible memories of everything NYC has to offer. Frank’s local knowledge derived from his upbringing around the city and career as a police officer in Brooklyn added so much to the experience. We are looking forward to bringing other family members to NYC and creating more memories and will definitely be requesting Frank as our guide. We enthusiastically recommend Brooklyn Giro to anyone looking to experience the sights, sounds, and energy of a truly great city.

Robbie was a good guide and an excellent navigator through the roads and traffic of Manhattan. The cars are slow and considerate. At no time did we feel unsafe.
We were 2 couples and Robbie gave us options as we went.
He had insights into all sorts of unusual places.
He gave us 5 hours with 3 brief stops for refreshments.
Bikes were really good and well set up.
We are 70 and kept the pace easily. Thank goodness it was flat and not San Francisco!
Thank you Robbie. Philip and Janet.

I was the only one on the afternoon tour and Robbie went out of his way to make it memorable.
We did most of the normal things but as I had expressed a particular interest about Central Park we went to the Northern Woods part to the far north of the park which was very special and less people

We did the morning bike tour through Manhattn and Brookly. Great fun and we learned a lot from our guide. We saw far more than if we were on our own, and fellt completely safe - even cycling through Times Square.
One of our party couldn't make the trip because of a leg injury, but the company were very understanding.

Good way to get a feel of New York in a few hours, Tour guide had lots of local area knowledge, we rode majority of the time bike paths and some roads with small amount of traffic, Could recommend this tour.

Got a great view of not just central park but all of Manhattan. There is so much to see in New York and we really did as much as you could do in just a few hours. John was super enthusiastic and I'd say this is a must to add to your NYC itinerary.
