2.Brooklyn Neighborhoods Small-Group Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 137 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $98Top rated

Spend 3 to 4 hours cycling Brooklyn with a small group of up to 10. Your guide leads you through Prospect Park, Red Hook, brownstone districts, DUMBO, and Brooklyn Bridge Park, with stops for chocolate, whiskey, history, snacks, and Manhattan views. Bikes and helmets are included.

“Had a great time riding around Brooklyn. Covers lots of ground but only for adult/teens who can navigate busy streets on a bicycle. Also, plan/hope for nice weather as it can get grueling and less enjoyable if the day is too hot. One critique is to reduce the visits to various neighborhoods, in exchange for more time at the famous sites (we rode through DUMBO without spending time there).”
