Scott’s New York, Walking and Bike Tours

As it approaches its 150th anniversary, the Brooklyn Bridge has never looked better. Upon its opening in 1883, the bridge introduced innovative suspension technology while its timeless Gothic aesthetic captivated admirers the world over. An icon of New York’s Gilded Age, its beauty remains a focal point in media—from HBO’s The Gilded Age to the South Korean arthouse hit Past Lives to the always fashionable teen favorite, Gossip Girl. Guests will learn about the 14 years of engineering challenges and triumphs led by the Roebling family, including the invaluable contributions of Washington Roebling’s wife, Emily—a woman far ahead of her time. Stories of the lives and working conditions of the stonecutters and sandhogs are also included. The tour concludes in NYC’s trendiest neighborhood, DUMBO, home to some of the city’s best pizza. Be sure to make time for lunch and, during warm-weather weekends, browse Brooklyn Flea for a bespoke, vintage souvenir. You won’t regret booking this unforgettable Brooklyn Bridge tour.
