Great Brooklyn bridge and dumbo tour
I took their Brooklyn bridge and dumbo tour (on a 90* day no less) and had a great time! My guide, Louis, was super knowledgeable and also made sure to keep us out of the sun whenever possible. Untapped tours are some of my faves in the city and this one lived up to expectations for sure!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for this fantastic review, and for braving a 90-degree day with us! We're so glad you had a great time. It's wonderful to hear that Louis's knowledge and thoughtfulness in keeping you out of the sun made the tour even more enjoyable. We're thrilled that we lived up to your expectations and that you consider us one of your favorites in the city! We look forward to welcoming you on another tour soon!

Great tour!
Well organised tour, in a small group setting. We learnt a lot more about the bridge and the city than we would have on our own. Our guide Louis was very helpful and answered all our questions even after the tour had ended.

Brooklyn Bridge Tour
We had Louis as a tour leader had he was a wealth of information. He had some very interesting insights. Very willing to answer any questions we had. The tour was great and would highly recommend this. Be sure to walk back over the Brooklyn Bridge to Manhattan as you get the best view that way.

Come for the Brooklyn Bridge, stay for the history!
Our guide Justin gave us so many insider tips about the bridge, and its importance in the history and challenges of the development of NYC's and Brooklyn transportation systems. The pace was perfect and having a guide so knowledgeable, who knew how to engage his audience, made for a great adventure!
Response from the operator: Awww thanks so much for this review Jackie. It is always a pleasure to lead you and your family. I have so much fun and I'm glad you enjoyed our adventure over the Brooklyn Bridge. Till the next time, take good care!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Secrets of the Brooklyn Bridge Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Secrets of the Brooklyn Bridge Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Secrets of the Brooklyn Bridge Walking Tour 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 New York is not rushed.
Is Secrets of the Brooklyn Bridge Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Secrets of the Brooklyn Bridge Walking Tour?
+
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 Secrets of the Brooklyn Bridge Walking Tour 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 Secrets of the Brooklyn Bridge Walking Tour?
+
Around 6 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 New York 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 New York and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Secrets of the Brooklyn Bridge Walking Tour 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 New York 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 New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. 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 New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. 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 New York?
+
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.
