New York Bike Tours
What could be better than exploring New York on a guided bike ride? Gain valuable insights about famous places and the history of the city that never sleeps.
We offer two different bike tours on which you will discover the city from a new perspective:
Brooklyn Bridge Bike Tour:
This tour takes you up in the air above New York City! We cycle around Manhattan’s southern tip, climb uphill into the City Hall area, and then up onto the Brooklyn Bridge itself. At the Brooklyn-side tower of the bridge you will have the chance to take photos.
From this point you should be able to spot New York Harbour, including the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Staten Island, the port of Brooklyn, and several miles of the New Jersey coastline.
Afterwards we will descend into Brooklyn, seeing NYC’s Financial District from across the river, followed by historic houses of Brooklyn Heights.
Central Park Bike Tour:
Central Park is a national park in the heart of New York City and offers a perfect combination of historical architecture and nature. Your guide, a city-licensed professional, rides alongside you and shows you all that the park has to offer: Bethesda Fountain, hidden waterfalls, cast-iron bridges, movie scenes, celebrity homes, skyscrapers… all while passing beneath many of the park’s 26,000 trees.
You will get to see these Attractions on the way:
- Turn around Cherry Hill fountain as gorgeous west side buildings swallow you up.
- Strawberry Fields and the Imagine Mosaic, tributes to John Lennon's memorial.
- Be amazed by the skylines across the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir.
- See the beautiful Great Lawn's landscape from atop of Belvedere Castle.
- Smell the glamorous flowers of the Shakespeare Garden.
- Take a look at Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux's masterpiece Bethesda Terrace, considered by many to be the heart of Central Park.
- Appreciate the Alice in Wonderland statue that overlooks the conservatory water.
- Souvenirs in Tavern on the Green gift shop are always appreciated back home!
