Find out why the Brooklyn Bridge was dubbed the "8th Wonder of the World" when it opened in 1883. See the location for such great movies and TV shows as The Dark Knight Rises, I Am Legend and 30 Rock, among many others. Learn the tragedies and triumphs that went into its construction as you cross the oldest suspension bridge in New York City on this scenic and eye-opening walking tour. Your guide will also talk about Brooklyn's industrial past upon reaching D.U.M.B.O -- and you just might get to sample some delicious chocolate from Jacques Torres Chocolates. This acclaimed tour will end in New York's very first suburb, Brooklyn Heights, with its 19th-century brownstones and church steeples.

My daughter (mid 20s) and I took this tour a few days ago. It was fabulous! Max is so very informative and knows how to make everyone enjoy the experience. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone whether they are visiting NYC or a local resident looking to expand their knowledge of the history of the Brooklyn Bridge and two of the surrounding areas DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights that are included in the walk. I've already suggested it to some of my friends!

This was the best nyc/brooklyn walking tour that we have been on. Max went out of his way to make the tour enjoyable and was able to answer many of our questions. We had out of town guests w/us and they didn't stop talking about how terrific Max was! We would definitely join him on his other tours in the future! Thanks Max!

Description

In addition to walking across one of the greatest engineering feats of the 19th century, the Brooklyn Bridge, we will explore two unique Brooklyn neighborhoods:  D.U.M.B.O and Brooklyn Heights. We'll also rewind the clock and learn about the largest battle of the American Revolution to see where George Washington staged his “midnight escape.”

This tour runs about 3 hours and covers about 2 miles on foot.  Some uphill walking is required.  Each participant will receive a bottle of water and a chocolate sample during the walk.  Please note that the tour usually ends in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn (the tour crosses the bridge one way).  Directions for the short subway ride back to Manhattan will be provided.
