Follow-me bike tours
Ride the city behind someone who knows the safe way through it, at your pace, with nobody else in the group.
Why ride it with someone who knows the way
A bike is the best way to see New York, and the most nerve-racking to work out alone. Which streets have a protected lane and which just have paint, how to get onto a bridge, where the greenway breaks off into traffic: none of it is obvious from a map, and finding out mid-junction is not how anyone wants to spend a holiday.
Following someone who knows takes all of that away. You ride behind your guide on protected lanes, greenways and quiet streets, stop wherever the view is worth it, and cover more of the city in an afternoon than you could walk in two days: along the Hudson, across the bridges into Brooklyn, around the parks.
Why MUSEENYC: it is private, so nobody sets the pace but you and you are never waiting on a group of strangers. Your guide is licensed, picks routes for calm rather than speed, and takes your photographs on the way. Bring your own bike or use Citi Bike, and we tell you exactly what to get before the day.
Licensed NYC Sightseeing Guide. Every tour is led by a licensed New York City Sightseeing Guide, who carries the license on the walk and will show it to you.
