Our guide, whose name...

Lisa_H, May 2026

Our guide, whose name rhymes with Barney, needs to brush up on his Central Park facts. History, construction, plants, birds and more. He claimed every rock in Central Park was barged in. False. Nice guy, but do more research.

Excellent!

Ann_H, Mar 2026

What went to Central Park on a beautiful spring day. Our guy knew a lot about the history of the park, both ancient history and recent. We saw some beautiful cardinals and also some birds of prey. Very friendly guide, and we got some free exercise too!

Great fun NYC activity

Anita_B, Feb 2026

A fun nyc activity. I’ve been a long-term resident of nyc but had never taken this tour. It was really time well spent - learned a lot of new things about Central Park and the surrounding area. Definitely a recommend, especially if you have out-of-town visitors.

Our 12:00 tour was...

Holly_K, Nov 2025

Our 12:00 tour was cancelled and we were not notified even though he had our email. When we showed up the manager said to come back in an hour and there was another guide. Our tour was given by a nice guy who usually gives bike tours. There was no in depth information. I could have given the tour myself. No pictures from in the past, when I asked for more details I googled the answer! We even backtracked over where we had walked. He kept repeating what a nice day it was. Obvious he does not give walking tours! The place is a biking tour company not walking tour

Tour Canceled Last Minute

Norma_W, Jun 2021

When I arrived at start location, tour was canceled at last minute because guide was sick. On-site staff was courteous and sympathetic.
