About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- F6460NUalexa0 contributionsSCAM!Scam! Be careful or you will get in the situation as me! I booked the tour and decided to cancel it as our plans changed. This is stipulated in the cancellation policy, you can cancel it with full refund up to 7 days before the tour. Which is what I did, even more than up to 7 days. I sent the email that I wanted to cancel the tour on the 2nd of December. Since 4th of December I've tried to reach company by phone, but no one answering. Only the 6th of December, after trying to contact all platform that work with this company and after placing reviews on Google and TripAdvisor, they answered the phone. The company owner promised me to make refund asap and contact me by WhatsApp. But he did neither. He is still not answering his emails. What is one more critical things, that in my confirmation I didn't receive the exact starting tour time. And they didn't contact me with the confirmation that the tour will place. So! They didn't do a refund and it seems they weren't going to do the tour.Written December 11, 2023
- ClaphamAdventures0 contributionsWill knocked it out of the parkI went to NYC with my 10 year old son. I never thought that we would have agreed on a #1 for our trip but Will killed it and we both agreed it was the best thing we did in NYC. I wish yall the best of luck in future en-devours and hope I can refer yall and use yall again. ChrisWritten October 25, 2019
- timmugrieve0 contributionsWill is the real deal!!!Wow!!! This is hands down the best tour I have been on. Will is a classic Brooklyn man, full of engaging facts and lots of fun. The motor cycles are incredible war time relics, and we were the center of attention everywhere we went. Don’t miss this real taste of Brooklyn!!Written August 16, 2019
- MrSlaughter10 contributionsTailored, detailed and unique!After this tour, I can’t imagine touring by any other way! Traveling by side car was amazing! Will and Dapper Tours truly out did themselves! The intimate setting, customization and endearing tour guide made this a tour like no other! Can’t say enough about this amazing experience!Written August 6, 2019
- purplelabelboy0 contributionsEPIC. AMAZING. SPECTACULAR. CLASSIC.I cannot begin to know where to start to describe the epic and beautiful experience we had on this tour. My wife and I took our friends out on an anniversary date and this was the best activity of all the things we did that day. They LOVED it and so did we! Will gave us an experience we will never forget. He met us with two sidecars, gave us the rundown, and eased any fears about riding on a bike. We felt like celebrities riding around town, seeing hidden neighborhoods, streets, and cruising across the Brooklyn Bridge. There is nothing like going across the bridge on a bike! In addition, we learned so much about New York on the tour. Especially already being from New York. I recommend this tour 1000%. You will not be disappointed! I'm already working on booking my next tour! Book Dapper Tours!Written July 15, 2019
- amarinyanez0 contributionsUnforgettable experience for visitors and New Yorkers alikeWe had an absolutely unforgettable experience. My partner, his daughter of 14 and I took the 2 hour Brooklyn tour with two sidecars and two drivers. We made several stops in Dumbo waterfront (including Jane’s Carrousel), Brooklyn Bridge, Vinegar Hill, Brooklyn Height and the Promenade. Each time, the guides shared a piece of history, a fun fact, a fresh perspective on what makes Brooklyn and NYC such a unique place. Their passion for the city was contagious in those moment as it was their enthusiasm to find the beauty and elegance of NY amid its chaos. Both guides/drivers were gentle, super fun, respectful and good drivers! (we felt very save in their hands and well taken care of). I recommend it for visitors and New Yorkers alike (I have lived between Manhattan and Brooklyn the last 13 years). The tour was an opportunity to re-discover and fall in love again with a city that is magical, if you know where to look... and Dapper Tours does.Written July 2, 2019
- abadbadseed0 contributionsAMAZING EXPERIENCEThis tour was ON POINT. It was a lovley, scenic, ride, And then I learnt all about NYC's incredible history. Will is an amazing, inspirational guy that will have you learn new things in the most exciting and fun way. Would 100% recommend this tour for all ages.Written July 2, 2019
- MARTU R0 contributionsUltra cool way to check out the sights in NYC!You want to get an intimate and customized tour of the city, this is the joint. Our trip was customized to the sights we wanted to see. Great customer service. We can't wait to get back to NYC for another run with Dapper Tours. Fun fun day!Written August 19, 2018
- gpar19930 contributionsGreat Experience!I had the best time on this tour! The motorcycle ride was a lot of fun and the city was beautiful. We toured in Brooklyn and rode through Dumbo, Vinegar Hill, and Red Hook. Our tour guide, Will, was extremely knowledgeable about the history and the architecture in the neighborhoods we toured. I learned so much. I would love to do it again and would absolutely recommend it.Written August 14, 2018
- Andrew F0 contributionsA Dapper Brooklyn ExperienceAs a Brooklyn native and borough connoisseur I didn’t think there was a part of Brooklyn that I wasn’t already familiar with but boy was I wrong! I discovered new places & was educated on the rich history of the most intricate areas of Brooklyn. Dapper Tours also provided us with an amazing dining experience at a local Brooklyn restaurant in which we were able to get express and VIP service even amidst a line that extended out the door. Dapper Tours curated an unforgettable Brooklyn experience! Highly recommended.Written August 14, 2018
- NiniWalshy0 contributionsDapper Tours NYCWow Will! Your tour of Brooklyn was the perfect way to wrap up my visit to NYC with my daughter. You took the time to tailor the ride to her interests and even managed an unexpected visit to Andrew and his fire station. Hopefully we taught you some Aussie as you taught us so much about your home town. Thank you for your professionalism, sense of fun and for being a genuinely beautiful human. Our photos and memories will be cherished. Pen and Lucy xxWritten August 9, 2018
- gfink680 contributionsSilver Surfer.A friend organised this tour for me. It was a birthday surprise so, of course, I had no idea what was going to happen. At the agreed time, this guy turns up on the coolest motorbike and sidecar you have seen. He fixes me up with a helmet, helps me into the little sidecar and, before you could say 'New York, New York’, he whisked me off up 5th Avenue. Although I've seen it many times before, it was different now. A completely new perspective. What's more, I felt like a celebrity, as people started waving and taking photos. After about 20 minutes the sun went down and the iconic buildings of the Big Apple started to light up. Magical. We crossed Brooklyn bridge into Dumbo. Revs up. What a ride. Being a keen photographer I got shots from this viewpoint that were completely unique. Will D, the man behind the handlebars, handled the bike like the Silver Surfer gliding the crest of a SuperNova. I felt at one with the road and totally safe in his hands. Pure exhilaration. When I eventually take a trip back to New York, I want to do it all over again.Written August 8, 2018
- coco h0 contributionsExceeded all Expectations! AmazingFrom first contact Will was personal, warm, exciting and professional. As a woman traveling on my own, I immediately felt in safe hands. He personalized the tour so I could see New York’s finest graffiti. AMAZING...brilliant photographs. Incredible knowledge. If you want to do something quirky, in style, with a gorgeous man then this is an absolute must. Will ooodles customer care and pride in everything he does, all of which is reflected in the experience...all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the magical moments.Written August 6, 2018
- Chris P0 contributionsWhat a Ride!My wife and I came up to NYC for a quick getaway from our current suburban existence, and wanted to reconnect with the city where we met and fell in love so many years ago. We linked up with Dapper Tours for an afternoon of Brooklyn fun and excitement—we ended up having an experience unlike anything we’d ever had. Cruising through BK on the bike was the coolest, immersive way to tour the city. Our amazing guide, Will took us throughout Brooklyn with stops in Green Point, Dumbo, Bushwick and Red Hook. The ride was exhilarating and we learned more about this eclectic city, its history and its changing landscape. We had a frigging ball, and smiled the entire trip. I couldn’t recommend this more highly enough for couples or solo travelers. Will is awesome too, a great person and excellent driver, so you’ll be in great hands. This was the highlight of our trip and we made amazing memories! You’re gonna love it!Written August 5, 2018
- Maria M0 contributionsThis is a NYC must! Best way to know the Big AppleI had the chance to experience the building up of Dapper Tours and I must say it is AMAZING, for everyone! If it is your first time in NYC or you are on a flash trip, Dapper Tours is PERRRRFECT for visiting the best sightseeings and riding all over the city in just a couple of hours! If you are traveling with your family or a group of friends, THIS IS IT! Imagine all of you riding NYC HARD!!! If it isn't your first time in the Big Apple (as me), getting a ride on Dapper Tours is the funniest and most interesting way to visit new places or get in touch with the spots you have once visited! DON'T YOU MISS THIS AMAZING EXPERIENCE!Written July 30, 2018

I've lived in NYC for over 10years and this is easily one of funnest experiences I've had living in this city! I've always wanted to ride in a sidecar and it did not disappoint. It was so cool to see places I've walked by everyday from a whole new perspective...such a novel experience. My tour guide Will showed me some really interesting places that I never knew existed and was super cool to share this ride with, felt like I was hanging out with a good friend. I cannot recommend giving this experience a try whether your a tourist or a long time resident...AWESOME

What an amazing experience this was… I booked as a surprise for my husbands 50th birthday whilst we were visiting NYC from the UK ..
My husband was made up with his surprise ..
It really was a fun trip in a sidecar and we loved seeing Brooklyn & Brooklyn bridge .. Will showed us places we would never have gone too or known about..
Will was so much fun and so knowledgeable.
The sidecar itself is a fantastic machine and got a lot of attention whilst we were traveling around with lots of people waving and smiling as we were on our tour.
I would highly recommend this trip whilst in New York.
We would definitely do it again!!
Thanks Will…. It was smiles per mile.

We had an amazing tour with Dapper Tours and Will. The more you communicate with Will after booking, the better he can make the experience. Learnt a lot, saw a lot and enjoyed getting to see Brooklyn through Will’s eyes. Highly recommended, a fantastic way to complete a tour that is worth every penny.

Everything about this trip was awesome. Will made it very easy to organize. Todd was the one who drove us around Brooklyn. He tailored the tour to show us the parts of the city we were most interested in and shared interesting facts throughout. He had all the gear to keep us warm even in the winter. He even picked us up where we were staying. He's a great guy and made us feel very safe. Touring Brooklyn in a sidecar (especially a Ural) was really an unforgettable experience and the highlight of our three days in NY.

Complete disaster. The operator claimed to have no record of the booking made and paid for through TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor were of no assistance in dealing with the problem. Wasted presious time on a 4 day visit to New York. We now await a refund.
