    Great 2 hour trip

    lisa_d, May 2026
    Great 2 hour trip guided by Arnie. He was very knowledgeable, very friendly and took lots of photos for us. Having a guided tour makes a huge difference to understanding about Central park. We were four adults and we all enjoyed it and got something out of it.

    Edward was an amazing guide! We have been to the park before and he altered his usual route to show us parts we had not seen.

    History at Central Park

    Margit_S, Jun 2025
    It’s been a smooth experience. Everything as described and offered. Our tour guide was great but sometimes hard to understand due to her heavy French accent

    Did not go well

    beth_n, Jun 2025
    Our guide was hard to understand as she was not fluent in English. Also, I fell and was bloody and the guide just took off once she saw us coming. The other people in the group had to tell her I was bleeding and had to go back and leave the group. When I did get back to the rental place they did not offer even a band aid . Just gave me dry paper towel to clean it up with. Very disappointing experience over all:

    Great way to see the park

    Victoria_F, Apr 2025
    Tour guide was very informative. Great way to see the park. Would have been nice for the bikes to be adjusted (seat wise) on arrival. Was given a seat with a rip in but this was changed upon request.

    Great guide Chris, well...

    Michael_S, Mar 2025
    Great guide Chris, well informed, friendly. Fun with some exercise. Knew how to adjust bike to customer preferences

    Excellent tour.. but small issue

    Roberto_B, Oct 2024
    Small issue .. read on… The tour was excellent. Chris the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Provided ample time r To check the sites out. Small point; ensure you bring some tissues as the business did not stack toilet paper… would’ve been good to know before hand The Cold War warriors who run the business need to smile occasionally 😀

    Guided Central Park bicycle tour

    Todd_K, Oct 2024
    The bike tour takes you around the entire park. It's a little over 6 miles and our tour guide Filip was very good. We had 16 people in our group and 8 of them were on electric scooters. The park is absolutely gorgeous an massive. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Amazing and well worth it!

    Andrea_S, Aug 2024
    Amazing! I am so glad we did the bike tour. We had great weather and our tour guide was fun and engaging. We saw more than we expected to see.

    Too many bikes for one guide!

    Roberto_B, Jul 2024
    Too many participants just for one guide! The tour is ok, but I was expecting to cycle a little bit more, instead basically you obly cycle for few minutes in-between each stop.

    Great fun - Phil was informative and funny

    Sharon_M, Jul 2024
    We thoroughly enjoyed this tour - just a couple of times as the group was quite spread out we missed a couple of things he said - also, we were back by 10.45 so not quite the full 2 hours but we had fun and Phil was great. i would definitely pre book, think it saved us around US$15-20 each

    Central Park bike tour

    Junpei_Y, Jun 2024
    Great bike tour and equipment was very good. But we had 15 people on our group and we were at the back. At one point, we lost the tour guide, and this caused us to miss Strawberry Fields. That was very disappointing.

    Sunday Bike Tour of Cental Park

    Margaret_M, Apr 2024
    The tour was very enjoyable. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the park and it's history, including interesting pop culture tidbits. He also made sure we were aware of how to navigate the park safely. The park was very crowded on a Sunday morning in April and it was a little tricky riding with so many other walkers, runners and cyclists. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend it!

    Nice trip around Central park.

    Daniel_M, Mar 2024
    Phillipe, our guide was very nice and funny. We had a good time despite the cold at the beggining of March. Go on a normal bike if like to exercise a bit.

    Biking in the park

    Jeni_E, Feb 2024
    So fun! Super cold but the bikes were great. Tour guide well informed and kind We enjoyed the whole trip

    Fun in the park

    Chris_c, Jul 2023
    Went solo while my husband worked in the city. Felt absolutely safe. Meet some very nice people and throughly enjoyed our guide Philip as we took in the sites and learned some of the history of Central Park.

    Fantastic tour of Central Park!

    Anne_J, Jun 2023
    Great tour that brought you to the highlights of Central Park! The tour went at a nice pace with short breaks at each major site. Excellent guide who was very knowledgeable. I did not opt for the ebike, it was a little hilly. My husband took the ebike and was very happy.

    Lovely ride around Central Park. Our guide Patrick was very knowledgable and funny and made the trip very interesting. The cycling was easy - couple of small hills

    Fun tour

    Michael_S, Oct 2022
    Good experience. Fun for my daughter and I. Not too strenuous but a working knowledge of how to ride a bike is necessary. Saw parts of the park we couldn’t on foot.

    Charged us 2 hours but required us back in 1 hour

    Rich_B, Jul 2022
    Booked online but when we arrived, they gave us an unguided tour and only one hour of bike use when we paid for two hours.

    Great tour guide

    Jenny_S, Jun 2022
    The tour guide was fabulous and made it well worth it. Loved all the history we learned and the sites we saw

    Definitely recommend!

    Jennifer_M, Jun 2022
    We loved seeing different parts of Central Park that we never would have stumbled upon on our own. Thank you for the “rules of biking Central Park” upfront, and for the information throughout. We definitely recommend keeping the groups small, and similarly aged.

    Great way to enjoy Central Park.

    Naomi_O, Jun 2022
    Great way to see Central Park and get exercise at the same time! Guide was interesting and personable.

    Good experience, professionally run.

    Noreen_p, Jun 2022
    Bikes were in good condition. They made sure to adjust the bike as necessary before we started. Tour guide was nice and knowledgeable and didn’t cycle too fast. Toilets at the first ‘stop’. 10km route in about 90 minutes easy pace. Some gentle hills… which surprised me, but only a low level of fitness is required and host never gets too far ahead. No toilets in the rental store though :(

    Absolutely worth it!

    Tony_M, May 2022
    He did a great job! The day was great for a bike ride. He was informative, knowledgeable, personal and fun!

    Tour guide was amazing....

    maria_k, Feb 2022
    Tour guide was amazing. Provided great information about NYC along the way!!! Very interesting! Loved it!!!

    Highly recommend to get the experience of the whole park, it’s history and the surrounding area.

    Shari_D, Jan 2022
    Have all sorts of bikes from basic to electric to 2 seaters. See the whole park in 2 hours with stops at key points. Tony/ Antonio knew it all!!!

    Perfect 2 hours!

    Lyle_E, Jul 2021
    Andrey’s a great guide. Helpful bike tips, safety oriented and has interesting details of the park. This tour is perfect for a quick overview of what the park has to offer. Come back to spend time at the places you like.
