“This tour was completely amazing. The tour guide is very knowledgeable, extremely witty, and takes you to places you would never be able to go by golf cart or car. You see various neighborhoods the music section who even go into downtown for a bit. I’m a 64 year-old woman who has never ridden an E bike before. He was very patient and took very good care of me.”
Ride 9 miles through Lower Manhattan, Chinatown, Little Italy, Hudson River Park, and the High Line with a licensed local guide.
“Great tour. Guide Debra was very informative & fun. She pointed out all the sites & also told funny anecdotes. The Tour went through Harlem then Riverside Park & down the Hudson walkway to the Brooklyn Bridge. We stopped along the way & walked about too-at Ground Zero. In all it lasted about 3 hours. I was really impressed by the quality of the bikes too-Cannondales which seemed new. I was particularly lucky as I was the only person on the tour but even if it had been busier Debra would have entertained everyone. I thoroughly recommend this tour.”

Ride from Manhattan across Brooklyn Bridge with city views, Brooklyn Heights stops, a guide, bike, helmet, and practical tips.
“Ross was friendly and interesting and he led us on a trip over both bridges,. We had to use the road in several places and we could not have managed those junctions by ourselves. On the downside, we were not offered cycle helmets,. Also watch out for the additional 5 dollars per bike charge for insurance which we felt obliged to purchase.”
