Snowy Central Park experience.

Ruth_B, Dec 2025
Easy to book. Took us a few minutes to find our rider, but the help function worked well for that. Ali was our driver/rider and he was excellent. Funny, considerate and informative.

Ali was our guide with 15 years experience and this one of the highlights of our stay in New York. Not only were we taken around part of this enormous park but the knowledge and stories presented to us made this an outstanding afternoon. This is a must and if you get Ali you’re in for a treat.

Another great tour

Jeff_D, Sep 2025
Another very enjoyable tour. I took my children and they had a great time. We always enjoy every time in NYC. Peter and Kemal were fabulous. Sheraz was our very first pedicab tour guide with this company. He left a lasting impression and we will forever recommend these guys. They are the absolute best!

Thank you so much for your feedback. it means a lot to us

Sadly not a great experience

Kim_B, Aug 2025
The rider was 15mins late, no apology. I wasn’t interested in some of the ‘highlights’, which was astounding apparently, and there was no creativity to balance out the time so he finished it 25 mins early and still expected a tip. I paid for 2 hours for 2 people - no solo options so not great all round.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We’re sorry to hear that. our tour is calculated by time for all highlights if you were not interested in some places, then of course it will be less time, how you know he was expected for a tip? so you have the ability to read minds. You still haven’t left a tip

Early morning ride through Central Park

Joan_J, Aug 2025
Most enjoyable! Sam was a great pedicab driver who took pride in sharing all the interesting stories about Central Park.

Our guide was very...

Jennifer_c, Jul 2025
Our guide was very friendly, but aside from movie trivia, very little actual history about the park or city was shared. There are numerous pedicab drivers throughout the area that you can book on the spot, paying significantly less money if you’d just like a pleasant ride through the park. I’ve been pleased with other Viator experiences, however, this one wasn’t at all worth the cost.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We’re sorry that you were not satisfied with our tour. Our guides asking the customers what they prefer to know movie stuffs or history. Apparently your interest was in movies. Believe me on the street they could you double charge for this tour. You’re lucky that you haven’t experienced on the street

Perfect tour

Anita_D, Jun 2025
Very good experience! The family enjoyed it and got to experience all of Central Park very quickly and easily!
