- Natasha H0 contributionsBest guide, highly recommended!Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and all around amazing! He connected with all on our tour even the little 6yr old. ❤️ He was fantastic!Written 27 November 2024
- lesliet1760 contributionsBook It!Scott is a great guide and this tour is a must do. My daughter and I joined him on this tour and we had a great time. He has a lot of insight and history, recommendations and will offer to take pictures. He is very pleasant and helped us with some area questions before and after the tour. So glad we booked this and the walk around Brooklyn Heights was a nice break from the noise of the city across the river.Written 18 November 2024
- Shirley G0 contributionsBlowing away the cobwebs - an exhilarating walk from Manhattan to BrooklynA really enjoyable few hours with Scott and fellow travellers walking from Manhattan City Hall, across the Brooklyn Bridge, exploring the refurbished DUMBO area and then up into Brooklyn Heights. There’s nothing like a local to give you the inside track on the neighbourhoods you are exploring and Scott was a great guide. A splendid way to spend a few hours. Highly recommended.Written 10 November 2024
- mjcorbett3150 contributionsScott's tour is a must-see experienceScott is an excellent guide. His knowledge of both Manhattan and Brooklyn is remarkable. He led the tour in a relaxed and comfortable way, not missing a beat, from City Center to Dumbo. He planned brief stops along the walk to let us rest and regroup for a minute and to take photos of the gorgeous views. This trip was so worth the price, and it could have easily been more expensive for the wonderful experience it provided. I would vibe back with friends for this one!Written 10 November 2024
- Trail205480003070 contributionsGreat tour guide.! Take the tour!Scott was very knowledgeable. friendly and helpful. We learned a lot about the Brooklyn Bridge and the surrounding area and we met some interesting people in our tour group. I highly recommend Scott Wooledge!!Written 9 November 2024

- B8576KLlindaz0 contributionsBest $29 I spent in NYC!!Book THIS Brooklyn Bridge Walking Tour!! BEST $29 I spent in NYC - hands down!!! Scott was so friendly, fun, very knowledgeable about the history and the area. Let us walk at our pace, stop for pics, but also kept things on schedule. Bonus- many little deets about local celebrities and where they live. And then so many beautiful and iconic areas in Brooklyn - the views where he took us were amazing! Don’t just WALK across the Brooklyn Bridge - book Scott’s tour!!! Sooo worth it!!Written 30 October 2024
- Pinoylover0 contributionsA beautiful and informative walking tourI had a fantastic time with Scott, who was generous enough to still offer an individual tour when some folks had canceled. Coincidentally, I started with a chance to see the Lady Liberty ticker tape parade where we planned to meet. Then we crossed the Brooklyn Bridge on a beautiful day, walking through Dumbo, Brooklyn Heights and the parks along the Hudson with amazing views. Throughout the tour, Scott offered fascinating details about the history of the bridge, the area, new developments, the culture, and even a who's who of celebrity homes. I had a great time and would highly recommend taking a tour with Scott. He clearly knows his history and loves this fascinating, glorious part of New York.Written 27 October 2024
- johnkQ5153FO0 contributionsGood overview of historic NYC neighborhoodScott helped me join the group when I had trouble finding their exact starting point. Both tourists and locals could find the tour informative and enjoyableWritten 24 October 2024
- Sightsee512283259370 contributionsHistory, Fun Facts, Celebrities, and Pizza!Scott was amazing! He knew the answers to every question we asked, shared tons of fun facts and history about buildings we walked by, and showed us where a few celebrities lived! We even saw two celebrities in Brooklyn Heights! The pizza rec he gave also led us to having the best pizza we’ve ever had in our lives. Such a fun experience!! Highly recommend!Written 24 October 2024
- James W0 contributionsFriendly. Personal. Fun-loving. Knows his stuff.Scott remembered the names of everyone on the group from the introduction through the goodbyes. His demeanor is very casual and his delivery interesting. Our group asked questions about wildlife, history, the arts and sciences, Broadway and Hollywood. He is eclectic, well-read, up on pop culture as well as historical personalities, and attentive. In addition, he gives his guests a great set of details and recommendations (food, drinks, transportation, attractions, history, etc.) in a helpful text with links that you can access after the tour. So whether you want a light-hearted afternoon or an in depth experience, he delivers.Written 12 October 2024
- Loren M0 contributionsSuper fun!Scott was punctual and gave good instructions on where to meet. The tour was a great mix of history and incredible views.Written 3 October 2024
- Bastion89780 contributionsGreat walking tour Brooklyn Bridge and over 🇺🇸👍🏻Easy meeting point at City Hall, and then proceeded across Brooklyn Bridge to Dumbo along water front and park and through Brooklyn Heights. Home of celebs and Scott was on banter terms with Amy Schumer and husband putting out the bins. Regular stops at key locations and Scott was happy to take group and family photos. Excellent commentary on history of establishment of New York, Brooklyn Bridge construction and key facts and figures as we progressed. Proceeded at a fair crack but not to much for my new knees and hips. Great walking tour, Scott, and good tip for Pizza Restaurant. All the best.Written 30 September 2024

Great job Scott! - The Benson Family!Written 27 September 2024

Scott gives a engaging & detailed tour of the Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Heights/Waterfront, & Dumbo. He’s friendly & attentive making sure that we had plenty of time to stop & take pictures if we wanted. Additionally we felt safe biking through the city with him as our lead, and the route overall is easy with minimal traffic. Scott knows all about the neighborhood being a local who’s seen the city develop over time and can tell you the story behind every building along the route. Biking through the city is the best way to get around and I wouldn’t have wanted to see Brooklyn any other way! We will definitely be using Scott again in the future! :)

Despite the fact that Scott and I did the tour on one of the worst air quality days in NYC history, it was still amazing! Scott was very knowledgeable about the Brooklyn bridge, Dumbo, architecture, history of the city, and current culture. I was fortunate to have Scott on my own for the tour, and I enjoyed his storytelling as well as sense of humor. Highly recommend Scott as a tour guide.

We covered a lot of ground on our 2-hour cycling tour and leaned so much! Scott is a polymath. He spoke knowledgeably about the history of Brooklyn and the landmarks we paused to admire. We stopped at a few statues along the way and Scott explained who the statues honored and why these people were important to Brooklynites. He pointed out the various architectural styles along the route and how these evolved over time. He explained the history of the different bridges that connect Brooklyn with Manhattan, told us when they were built, the materials that were used in their construction and why the chosen materials changed over time. What we most enjoyed was our tour through Brooklyn Bridge Park and Scott's explanation of the park's development and the extensive efforts made to ensure the sustainability of the park - including through the selection of materials and reuse of existing structures. All in all, Scott is an outstanding tour guide. We're so glad we chose to spend a morning with him!

We thoroughly enjoyed the bike ride with Scott. His knowledge of the area was extensive and the tour was leisurely we did not feel like we were being whisked from place to place without chance to take in the sights. Whilst in Brooklyn Heights and stopped outside one of the stars houses, Amy Schumer, Scott was telling us that she lived there and the next thing she appeared in her car from the house and started waving and calling out to us. I like to think that Scott had orchestrated this as part of the tour 😂. Anyway it was a memorable moment and with or without Amy I would recommend this tour with Scott.

Scott was a great guide. He kept track of our group of six really well, stopping at intervals to make sure the group stayed together. He gave us insights about different neighborhoods. We live not too far away in Westchester and love having this fun, active way to get to know our nearest world city better! We would love to do another tour with him next time with our family.

I can't imagine a lovelier way to see this part of the city. I've walked around this area before but have never cycled it before taking this tour. Not only is it a great route for cycling and photos (in no small part thanks to the guide's navigation and uncanny ability to find the *perfect* photo spots), but you learn a lot of fascinating history that helps you appreciate what you're seeing. Just a really great NYC afternoon! Highly recommended.

Such a great way to see Brooklyn! I’ve been to Manhattan a few times and wanted to see Brooklyn but had no idea where to even start. I loved the idea of a bike tour because you see more than you can by simply walking and Scott was so knowledgeable on what to see and how to pack it all in! Let me tell you, I have not ridden a bike in a MINUTE but Scott went slow enough for me to remember how. Scott was on time, communicative and easy to find. All the “touristy” things we do when we go to NYC can easily add up and this was a terrific value for the price point and easily one of my favorite things we did this trip. You won’t regret booking this one!

The Brooklyn Bridge Waterfront Guided Bike Tour with Scott was fantastic. We went on a Saturday afternoon. Scott was a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Before the trip- I was concerned that riding bikes in Manhattan and Brooklyn would be difficult- but the route Scott chose was perfect- surprisingly easy to maneuver without a ton of vehicle or pedestrian traffic. The sights were beautiful. The price was extremely reasonable for the experience. We would highly recommend this trip.

We had a great afternoon with Scott exploring Brooklyn, the waterfront and Dumbo. Extremely knowledgeable, welcoming and friendly. Not having cycled in a long long time was not an issue, New York is extremely bicycle friendly so hoping on and giving it a go was easy. We explored areas we would never have got to see, with Scott’s in-depth knowledge of the history and people bringing the whole trip to life.
A few hours very well spent!! Thank you Scott.
