Hi Wanderlust2340,
That’s a great question that comes up a lot.
Once the tour is done in Coney Island, you’re basically riding back to the meeting location in Manhattan while a presentation of famous Brooklynites set to music plays on the monitors of the bus. Based on traffic, this usually takes about a half hour as Coney Island is the furthest point in Brooklyn from Manhattan.
Many folks prefer to leave the tour before boarding the bus back to Manhattan because they either have someplace to be right after the Coney Island portion of the tour, they need to get to the airport or because they prefer spending extra time at the amusement parks, the boardwalk, etc.
Also, from Coney Island it’s easy to grab a train, cab or Uber to your preferred destination.
Hope that helps! Thanks again for the question and we hope to see you on the bus!
Tony
