- Views of the Manhattan skyline

What You Will See on the Brooklyn Bridge Tour
The route has two parts. First you reach the heart of Brooklyn and the DUMBO neighborhood, with the Wall Street skyscrapers in the background and the Downtown skyline in front of you. Then, as the sun sets, the walk across the bridge toward Seaport begins, wrapped in reflections of light on the water, all the way to the historic district of skyscrapers, sailboats and restaurants.
On our tours the best moment comes halfway across the bridge, under the great Gothic arches, when Manhattan's lights switch on one by one: that is where we stop for the signature photo with our travelers. To make the most of your visit, pair it with our walking tours of the city.
What to Know Before You Book
- Subway transfer at your own expense: a ride of about $3 is needed to reach the tour meeting area in Brooklyn.
- Arrive early: be at the meeting point at least 15 minutes before, as traffic and delays can always happen.
- Seasonal time: the meeting is at 3:30 PM between October and March and at 5:30 PM from April to September, to follow the sunset.
- Weather: the tour runs in rain or snow; in case of heavy rain, the bridge crossing is replaced with a visit to Wall Street.
- Suitable for everyone: great for families with children, but not accessible to those who use a wheelchair or have limited mobility, as it is a walking experience.

Escursione molto bella ed interessante. La guida, Andrea, con i suoi affascinanti racconti, ci ha fatto scoprire gli angoli più suggestivi di questa parte di New York. Siamo stati completamente immersi nella cultura pop americana con competenza e simpatia. Passeggiata davvero molto consigliata.

Veramente consigliato. Guida eccellente e tour da sogno. Grazie
Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti. La nostra guida Laura, ci ha accompagnati in questa stupenda caminata sul ponte di Brooklyn, raccontandoci tanto cose interessanti, e mostrandoci angoli che da soli non avremmo notato. Dopo aver girato New york sempre con la mappa in mano, è stato un vero relax farsi guidare da Laura. Per noi una esperienza assolutamente da consigliare
Top! È stata la quarta volta a NY ma prenotando questa esperienza Abbiamo scoperto delle cose che non conoscevamo. Consigliatissimo. Bravissimo anche Andrea
