New York City arguably has more great sights per mile than anywhere else in the world, so why not make the absolute most of it with a 3-hour, 9-mile bike adventure through the city that never sleeps? Your guide, a highly-rated, professionally-licensed New York City tour guide, will take you on one of the most exciting rides of your life. Starting right by the Brooklyn Bridge on the Manhattan side, the tour takes you to Battery Park, Little Italy, and Chinatown before riding up to Washington Square Park. From there, our guide will take you along the Hudson Greenway. See where Sully Sullenberger famously landed a plane on the Hudson. You will view the newly constructed Vessel and Highline, then bike toward Times Square, Madison Square Garden, and the Empire State Building!

Chaos when picking up the bikes, the tour therefore started 1 hour later than agreed, the guide was nice and had a lot to say, the tour did not quite stick to the schedule, it was stated that we would also do the Brooklyn Bridge, but it was skilfully skipped, seemed to be a different tour, had I known that, I would have discussed a different tour..
The tour itself was quite chaotic, also because it was really busy in the city. The group was actually too large (15 people).
Returning bicycles was also just as chaotic. It seemed that people were not fully prepared for the crowds.

Highly recommended. Great guide, knowledgeable and patient. You get to see the city as a local. I'd recommend keeping the bike after the tour is finished and doing a loop of Central Park.

Enjoying New York with a group full of Dutch people. Nice explanation from the guide, you are agile and fast everywhere you go. Plenty of breaks and fun things to see.

Great NY Highlight tour with Bob. The tour was very well organised. The bikes felt like-new and well maintained. We saw and learnt a lot of fun facts. There were 14 in our tour but we never got left behind and Bob always made sure everyone was looked after. Little Island was a nice stop, especially for the toilet. The bike collection/drop off didn't have any restrooms! Luckily, Sweet Green half a block down from the Brooklyn Bridge shop had restrooms, and the Bread and Butter bakery at the Central Park shop too.
One thing it doesn't say on the website is that you don't finish where you start; our start was near Brooklyn Bridge and we finished at Central Park.

There is no Dutch guide available in New York. Moreover, the exact same bike tour is included in the GoCitupass, so it can be done much cheaper. The tour itself was fun to do.

Terrible customer service experience. I was in NYC for prior Sunday, so I decided to book the NY Highlights bike tour.
- The site had 1 spot available in the "NYC Highlights tour (English or Dutch)", which I selected.
- There was a drop down allowing me select English or Dutch, I selected English.
- I received a confirmation email that said "NYC Highlights tour (English or Dutch)" in the title, yet the email confirmation body said "Dutch" and the confirmation ticket said "English-Guide".
- I take the 1 hr train ride and subway ride to their downtown location
- I was informed that there was no actual English tour (nor guide) available that day
- I tried to get a refund, the operator keeps saying it was my mistake for selecting the wrong language even though the WEBSITE STILL OFFERS ENGLISH when they said it didn't actually have an English tour (yet the confirmation ticket screen shot I showed them clearly showed "English-guide").
Don't know which guide you're going to get when you show up, book with them at your own risk!!

What a great way to learn about this amazing city…on two wheels, in the fresh air and through the eyes of a lifelong New Yorker. Chuck shared fun insights from growing up in the City…the history and changes through the decades.

We booked this tour through Fat Tire Bike Tours, who we have used numerous times before
What a brilliant tour, our guide Bob was very good
Only 6 of us, which was great and made it more personal
Saw a lot of the city and this is the best way to do it

Skilled guide on the streets of Manhattan, negotiating traffic and construction. Places we would not have discovered on our own. Interesting information, especially about the marathon held this week.
