Begin your tour in the heart of Manhattan and enjoy a truly spectacular stroll across the iconic Brooklyn Bridge with its breathtaking views over New York Harbour and that world-famous skyline of Manhattan’s skyscrapers.
Your expert private guide will tell you the fascinating history of the bridge and give you ample time to photograph Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New York Harbour.
You will hear about the origins of the ferry and travel across the East River, learn about the politics behind the building of the bridge, the complications around its construction, as well as the stories of designers and immigrant builders who made the project happen.
From the promenade, you will walk down to the ferry landing area and explore a small part of DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). Formerly a manufacturing and industrial district, the area suffered from economic decline and eventually fell into disrepair.
Fortunately, due to a renewed appreciation for the architecture of the area and sizable investment, the once-vacant factory lofts have now become very attractive destinations for artists and creatives alike.
DUMBO has been transformed into a lively Brooklyn neighbourhood, boasting many art galleries and high-end boutiques, pizzerias, a scenic waterfront and characterful cobblestone streets lined with historical architecture.
Your tour finishes at the Time Out Market, where you can enjoy some of the best of Brooklyn’s food scene.
