2.5 Hours (Walking distance of approximately 1 mile)

Overview

Kriss Roebling has a real-life New York tale to tell. As the great great grandson of Washington and Emily Roebling, the brilliant minds behind the design and construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, Kriss is the quintessential New Yorker with experience as a musician, documentarian, and family historian. He grew up with fascinating stories about the Brooklyn Bridge told around the dinner table.

For years, Kriss would give private tours of the Brooklyn Bridge to family and friends, and as word spread he started offering them to the public. Now he's teaming up with the Bowery Boys to offer an exciting "only in New York" experience — an insider's tour of the most famous bridge in the world.

The Tour

The tour kicks off at the bridge's tower on the Manhattan side with Kriss explaining how he became passionate about giving tours and his unique family history. As you walk across the bridge, he'll show artifacts from the bridge's history, and you'll have the chance to take photos of the incredible cityscape all around you.
