This tour was amazing!! I am still talking about all the sites and facts that we learned about NYC...the whispering wall...seeing how dirty grand central station was prior to restoration(he shows you proof), highline walkway, the biggest starbucks ever and all the different areas of the city....we gave him a few ideas of what we wanted to see and he took it and ran with it!!! Best tour we've ever been on! If I could I'd give him a 10 out of 5...

We had such an amazing tour in the glorious sunshine. Our guide John was totally flexible and responded to our questions and requests. We had a break in a brewery with delicious burger and sandwich. We definitely recommend this tour. You get a unique impression and information about Brooklyn.

super nice tour, with a knowledgeable and funny Brooklyn guy who provided us all with lots of interesting information about the history, present and future of Brooklyn. The rental bikes were really excellent, the route was very well chosen....
