About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- stephanieaF2006FC0 contributionsEnjoyable but could be more informativeWe had a pleasant time. The bikes were good and it was an easy way to see some of South Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. Unfortunately we had anticipated a more informative tour, rather than just a guided cycle route. Information about the area and historic information was scant. As previously mentioned there are no toilets at the hire shop and we struggled to find any that were open at that time of day.Written 11 March 2024
- yousufc20240 contributionsWorth itEnjoyed and got to see a lot. Paul was a knowledgable dude. Highly recommend. Got my daily exercise whilst seeing BrooklynWritten 11 February 2024
- dun8260 contributionsBest bikingtourI discovered so many nice spots on a very stable bike thanks to the very nice guide Eddie. The pace was very gentle.Written 26 October 2023
- 784pieterf0 contributionsFun bike tour!We did a lot of city bike tours before and had a great time during this one! Paul is an excellent guide, giving clear information about the different locations. Riding on the bridge was really fun. We'd totally recommend it. Big thanks to Paul!Written 10 September 2023
- SamW4380 contributionsBrilliant way to see Lower Manhattan & BrooklynEddie (our guide) said if you’re bored of NY you’re bored of life. I would go one step forward if you don’t enjoy this trip you don’t understand the joys of travel. Eddie was brilliant, really enthusiastic, knowledgeable and his love for NY and Brooklyn in particular made the trip. Thoroughly recommend.Written 13 August 2023
- angela W0 contributionsGreat tour with Bob!Great tour with great guide. Bob showed us the highlights of China town and Brooklyn. Along the route nice stops for pictures and stories.Written 9 August 2023
- R3200SLemmat0 contributionsBrooklyn Bridge Guided Bike Tour With Unlimited Biking - NYC PassWe really enjoyed this tour. Majority of the route is along cycle paths around Brooklyn roads and over the main bridges. The distance of the ride is a decent distance, especially when crossing the river of both the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. There is a lot of cycling on roads and so this coupled with the distance leads us to not recommend this tour for children. However, it is an amazing trip for adults. Bob was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable. He also took a lot of photos for us along the route which he forwarded on in the evening. He also provided us with a lot of recommendations for the local area.Written 10 July 2023
- 360felixh0 contributionsWhole Brooklyn in just 2 hoursWe had the perfect bike tour with Bob today! Going around by bike in New York city is so much faster. Bob showed us the perfect photo places and had many interesting stories to tell. We will book another tour with him while we stay on New York city.Written 9 July 2023
- Hennrik M0 contributionsCharming and informative guided tourBob is simply the best, just do it 😊 The view from a bike is a must, you get around further than on foot and the tour is safe because of bike lanes.Written 8 July 2023
- Travel625095863460 contributionsGreat way to explore the cityBob, our guide was great, knowledgeable, funny and ensured everybody was safe and knew what to expect. He took and shared photos of the group as we went. We could not have had a better experience, the only thing to watch out for are cyclists coming the opposite way on the bridges. Thanks again Bob.Written 26 June 2023
- debandsteveretired0 contributionsAwesome brisk bike rideThe bike ride was awesome and Lars was very personable and knowledgeable about NY. The incline up the Manhattan Bridge was lengthy and my husband and I were happy it wasn’t hot out. We were the oldest on the tour at 59 and 62 and the pace was pretty quick.Written 26 April 2023
- bbS293DD0 contributionsDon’t put 18 people in a group!For some reason our group had 18 in it, which was way too many. Some couldn’t keep up. It would have been fine with a smaller number, but 18 people weaving through traffic in Chinatown was kind of a mess. The bridges were cool, and the pace isn’t difficult at all, but if 6 people cross the street, and 12 are behind a semi trailer, and the guide makes a turn, its somewhat difficult to know where they went with a large group. So, it would have been fine with smaller numbers. And two of the group members were fit, but could barely handle a bike.Written 7 April 2023
- Marjolein W0 contributionsGreat tourguide, very rude staff in bike shopThe tour itself was amazing, our tour guide Manny was knowledgeable and very funny. The staff in the bike shop however were extremely rude and unfriendly.Written 5 April 2023
- P8337FPsarahm0 contributionsDo this tour - you will never forget it!This was such a fantastic tour. Alex was such a knowledgeable and interesting guide and made this tour unforgettable. The views from Brooklyn were incredible as well as the beautiful neighbourhoods. The bridges were majestic and we learnt so much about New York. Alex cycled at our pace and he really engaged my teenagers. The bikes were perfect and easy to ride. The best tour - thank you to Alex as we would never have discovered these areas without this tour. Thank youWritten 22 October 2022

Great tour. John was our guide and he loves his city. Highly knowledgeable, gave us local hints and tips, details of a great bar in Greenwich and directions to a club we wanted to find. This tour gave us a great insight into the city. Got to be aware of what is going on around you, but to cycle Central Park, through Times Square and lots of neighbourhoods was a great opportunity. Nice and flat, no issues with the bikes. Ladies I recommend the basket for any bags. I carried a rucksack but it did get quite hot!
Thanks John, pleasure to meet you. 🇬🇧

This was an awesome trip! Our exceptional guide Kevin felt we should head north into Columbia University, then south all along the Hudson River, to a little man-made island, and we ultimately flew down Broadway! Our college kids loved it, as did we! This was a rigorous ride with a fast clip and was great fun for the whole family! We really got to see a different part of New York and really enjoyed our guide Kevin as well! Definitely would highly recommend

Highlights tour was the highlight of our short trip to NYC. Great way of seeing the city and Kevin was a great guide telling us lots of stuff you wouldn't ordinarily learn. Would recommend this trip and Kevin to all.
Bikes are good quality (Cannondale) and the cycling not too strenuous. I'd say kids over 12 and any adult that's even moderately fit will be fine. A lot of the riding is on bike paths and even on the road you never felt unsafe, even cycling full tilt down Broadway, which is as bonkers as it sounds and chuffing good fun.
And putting the worlds to right - we did it all; great banter/discussion/knowledge share with Kevin and the group throughout. 2 from Holland, 2 Canadians, 2 Brits and a New Yorker and we felt like we'd known each other for years. Vive la Revolution Kevin my friend.

What a brilliant tour, our guide Bob was very good
Only 6 of us, which was great and made it more personal
Saw a lot of the city and this is the best way to do it

Very nice experience! Small group size and a great guide: Johannes. Bikes were in good condition overall. The tour takes you past some of Manhatten's many highlights. From the northern edge of Central Park to the foot of Brooklyn Bridge in 3 hours (just over 20 km). Must do if you want to explore NY in a different way!

Highly recommended. Great guide, knowledgeable and patient. You get to see the city as a local. I'd recommend keeping the bike after the tour is finished and doing a loop of Central Park.

Terrible customer service experience. I was in NYC for prior Sunday, so I decided to book the NY Highlights bike tour.
- The site had 1 spot available in the "NYC Highlights tour (English or Dutch)", which I selected.
- There was a drop down allowing me select English or Dutch, I selected English.
- I received a confirmation email that said "NYC Highlights tour (English or Dutch)" in the title, yet the email confirmation body said "Dutch" and the confirmation ticket said "English-Guide".
- I take the 1 hr train ride and subway ride to their downtown location
- I was informed that there was no actual English tour (nor guide) available that day
- I tried to get a refund, the operator keeps saying it was my mistake for selecting the wrong language even though the WEBSITE STILL OFFERS ENGLISH when they said it didn't actually have an English tour (yet the confirmation ticket screen shot I showed them clearly showed "English-guide").
Don't know which guide you're going to get when you show up, book with them at your own risk!!

Hi Huy - Thank you for the review! There are different options on the activity and your booking had booked for a Dutch Tour.... and your confirmation also said that you had booked for the Dutch option. Unfortunately, normally we run both English and Dutch options and we would have gladly offered to move you to the English one. That day, unfortunately, we only had the Dutch running as no one had booked on the English option. We had you take the Dutch tour and even offered our English Central Park Bike Tour complimentary for you as well, which you took. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

This is a bike tour we would highly recommend to see the sights sounds and smells of Harlem. This is an area of NewYork with much history, and Debra does a great job of sharing it. We learned more about the area during the two hour ride than we ever could have on our own. Rich with music, art and famous people, Debra navigated us through it....And she had great advice for food and activities to come back for.
