Brookyn Bridge tour with guide Scott Wooledge - Brookyn Bridge tour with guide Scott Wooledge - May 2025 It is possible for anyone to walk on their own across the Brooklyn Bridge, however it was much better to experience the bridge with a guide to point out details and explain the history of the bridge & area. The meeting place that was chosen for us to start the walk was easy to get to and had its own very interesting history to include at the start of his tour. The walk does not have any steep, strenuous or difficult surfaces to walk on. Our guide, Scott is extremely knowledgeable about the construction of the bridge and the surrounding area. Since photos are “worth a million words”, he does have a few nice historical photos to show, but mostly he verbally explains all the history. Scott walks at an easy pace and he makes the tour fun and he takes time to find out what details his clients are interested in along the way. We were pleased that the walk also included walking around at the other end of the bridge through a Brooklyn business, restaurants & neighborhood area, because that was interesting as well as the bridge walk. The Brooklyn area is a nice viewing area to see the NYC skyline & Statue of Liberty.

Scott was a great tour... - Scott was a great tour guide, the experience of walking through the Booklym brigde is very good, beautiful views for pictures, DUMBO super pretty and the recommended pizza was amazing

Fantastic Brooklyn Tour - We had such an excellent tour with Scott - it ended up just being us in our group, but he still went ahead with the tour, which made it lovely and intimate. He really tailored his tour to our interests in architecture (and potentially less interest/knowledge in Brooklyn celebs!) and was so warm and patient with us. He had an answer to all our questions, and really left us feeling like we'd had a friendly local show us around! Would highly recommend.

Our tour guide Scott was... - Our tour guide Scott was awesome! Wealth of knowledge, patient and very helpful. Lots of beautiful stopping points for pictures.

Great tour with Scott - I would definitely recommend this walking tour with Scott. He could have easily canceled our tour since we were the only ones in his evening tour, but he did not. He asked if we could rearrange our plans but we already had another tour booked for the late morning/afternoon so we couldn't change our tour time. Scott met us on time and brought us across the Brooklyn Bridge, stopping along the way to give us some history of the bridge and to snap some pics of us. Even though it started to rain during the tour, Scott helped us find some shelter until the rain stopped, and we continued our tour. We could have easily walked across the bridge on our own, but Scott provided us with history of the DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights areas as well as the bridge itself.

Tour - Absolutely a must …The tour was very much excellent value for money , Scot the tour guide was a gent very knowledgeable and a genuine New Yorker . Thank-You Scott

There is more to this tour then the bridge, checking out Brooklyn! - The Brooklyn Bridge and surrounding area are something to see at least once. We met our tour guide Scott in City Hall Park. Scott was early and got our tour started on time. While we were waiting for the tour to get started Scott pointed out some historical facts around the park. He also told us what to expect along the tour like stopping points, bathroom breaks if needed, and spots to grab something to eat if we like. Once the tour started Scott pointed out different buildings as we made our way to the bridge pathway. Once on the bridge there was some walk and talk until we got to our first stop. At this point Scott took a couple family photos for us and let us walk around to read some of the history boards and take in the views. We then moved on to the middle of the bridge where we stopped and took in the sights and more photos. Scott also had a book of old photos that gave you a better idea of the area and construction of the bridge. We then continued to the third stop on the bridge to take in the full city skyline view. While there Scott told us where we were headed next (DUMBO), what DUMBO meant, and then as we walked off the bridge he pointed out new features at the base of the bridge. The next part of the tour became an unanticipated bonus. We went towards the base of the Manhattan. This was a great photo opportunity of the Manhattan Bridge with the Empire State Building underneath the arch. After this we walked along the East River. This was an amazing part of the tour. The work done by local residents and officials along with City, State, and other partners is a credit to them all. We walked along the water then up into Brooklyn Heights. We walked the old neighborhood with Scott pointing out different interesting features. The tour then concluded on the Brooklyn promenade with a beautiful view of the bridges and city skyline. If you take the tour, remember there is a lot of walking. The pace Scott set was very manageable. The incline on the bridge was not that bad. I would recommend this tour to those looking to do something different when visiting the city, or like us, that live in the area and want to explore more of our unique features.

Fantastic tour of Brooklyn - Amazing tour. Scott was very passionate and knowledgable about his city. Scott understood the group and adjusted his speed and info shared based on our interest. Thanks Scott.

Bucket list bridge walk completed. - Scott is an outstanding guide. He is a wealth of knowledge on the bridge, community and history of the areas along the entire journey. He makes time to ensure all questions are thoughtfully answered and ensure all are engaged. We would gladly take another tour with Scott, and can't wait for our next opportunity.

The hids had his homework... - The hids had done his homework, knew enough to tell during the walk and was very helpful to take pictures of the hikers.
