“Good but slow paced”

Reviewed May 16, 2012

I'd very much recommend doing the bridge cross,... More

Took this tour in May 2012. Our guide Stacey was excellent and very knowledgable about the history and background to the bridge and the Brooklyn area. We also went to some good sites and views in Brookly. Well worth doing this tour to get a taster of Brooklyn. More

It was really nice when Stacey arrived right on time with her friendly smile and happy personality. The New York Pass was accepted in our case and we headed off to learn about the Brooklyn Bridge as we crossed it. Stacey gave an interesting and informative talk at different parts of the bridge and kindly obliged when photos needed to... More

Reviewed April 9, 2012

I really enjoyed the tour. Some interesting points were made. I wish I had written some of them down,but the extreme winds?cold kept me from writing. I guess I'll have to take the tour again. It was worth doing twice, but next time on a warmer day! More
