Awesome Tour

Rachel_H, Sep 2025

This tour was awesome!! I had the best time seeing the City and the marathon trail. There’s so much history in Central Park and it was great to hear about all the hidden gems. I liked how my guide was totally fine with walking when I needed to (I’m not the best runner). 10/10!

Fantastic Tour of lower Central Park

Dianne_W, Sep 2025

This was absolutely by far the best Viator tour I’ve done. Our guide was informative and highly knowledgeable. I am a runner and have ADHD, so I really wanted something more my speed. I didn’t want to just stand around for 20 minutes to hear someone talk about one statue… and I don’t have the patience for a full day tour! Central Park is massive, so getting to see where the best areas are, in a short period of time, was perfect for me. We covered the entire lower half of Central Park, and the guide, who is a seasoned NYC Marathon runner, easily adjusted to the speed I desired. Highly recommend!
