Everyone else comes to the Bridge to take a photo and move on. Not us - we'll understand the huge effort that went in to getting the Bridge built, the lives lost and made, the scandals and celebrations. It's such a beautiful bridge but even better when you understand how it came to be.
In many ways the story of New York is the story of the Brooklyn Bridge. Almost nothing you see in the City existed before the Bridge - we'll use the Bridge as a way to understand the City that rose around it - the buildings, the other bridges, the transportation system, the people.
And then there are all the fun stories that span 140 years. We'll have a jam packed 90 minutes exploring the bridge, the city, and their history.

We had an amazing time with our guide Jonathan. His passion and knowledge for the Brooklyn Bridge was outstanding. He so rightly said when we were talking that a bridge is just a bridge until you know about it's history and he was so right. The background of the architecture, building and all it's history were mind blowing. It was such a hot day and we had such a great experience. Jonathan is a credit to your team and I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Jonathan for such a great day :) Sally and the Family xxx

Jon was an excellent tour guide!
He shared many excellent stories about the people who designed the Brooklyn Bridge, the building of the bridge, and the bridge today. I am going to take the tour again with family!
