QM2 departure process in Brooklyn, NYC
Our voyage on the QM2 was very nice, our most recent of several Atlantic crossings. That said, the dis-embarkment process is definitely a complicated, hectic undertaking. For anyone not familiar with NYC or not a native English speaker, it is a daunting process. A few comments may be useful to others. First, for some reason, Cunard provides very little, if any, information prior to leaving the ship. Last year, there was an extraordinary weather event which caused local flooding but absolutely non of this information was provided to the departing passengers. I think Cunard could do much more to make people aware of the environment after Immigration and Customs control. Upon departure, there are taxies and various buses, but it is not clear what is what. The official taxies outside the departure area are yellow and I green. These are metered by the city. There are limitation by the city on how these taxis operate, so be aware that if a Brooklyn taxi picks you up and you are going to Manhattan, they are prevented from picking up a passenger in Manhattan after you leave. Understanding this, the cost premium makes more sense, these folks have to make a living as well. Beware of many other "independent" taxies offering rides, these are not official and caution is suggested. One that approached me had an immediate car, but when I asked if they took credit, his response was that he only took Zelle, which is a banking app that transfers money directly from your bank account. There have been many articles related to abuses with the system, and essentially this is like giving someone access to your bank account. So go with an official taxi. There is no way I would consider this offer. You can use Uber, but the process is very confusing. First check the cost and see how it compares with a normal taxi. There does not seem to be an official area where an Uber is to pick up passengers, so you will likely have to text the driver to connect. Just be aware. The easiest approach may be to arrange transfer to the city or airport with Cunard directly prior to departure. The is certainly the easiest, the difference may be in the cost. Check the cost, but if it is per person, which I'm quite sure it is, the cost could be double the taxi. Certainty and ease may be worth the added expense. In our case, we paid $80 plus $20 tip to go to Penn Station, Moynihan Train Hall in Manhattan. Pricy, but this is NYC and at a peak demand time. One can use this as a bench mark and decide what is appropriate. I hope this helps. Good traveling.

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour of Brooklyn & Queens by Vintage NYC Taxi Cab: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Brooklyn.
How much does Private Tour of Brooklyn & Queens by Vintage NYC Taxi Cab cost?
+
Prices start at $695 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Brooklyn usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour of Brooklyn & Queens by Vintage NYC Taxi Cab take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Brooklyn is not rushed.
Is Private Tour of Brooklyn & Queens by Vintage NYC Taxi Cab worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Brooklyn, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour of Brooklyn & Queens by Vintage NYC Taxi Cab?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tour of Brooklyn & Queens by Vintage NYC Taxi Cab suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour of Brooklyn & Queens by Vintage NYC Taxi Cab?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Brooklyn can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Brooklyn and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour of Brooklyn & Queens by Vintage NYC Taxi Cab start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Brooklyn within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Brooklyn?
+
On Outty we rank every Brooklyn experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Brooklyn Bridge & DUMBO Food Tour: Local Eats & Iconic Views, The Escape Game Brooklyn: Epic 60-Minute Adventures in City Point, Bushwick Street Art Tour and Williamsburg Lifestyle Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Brooklyn?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Brooklyn?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
