My sister and I were visiting New York from the UK and a run in Central Park had always been on the bucket list. Having Cindy and Mike to show us around and give us such insight into the history of the park made a massive difference and meant we not only squeezed a run in to offset the burgers and fries but we learned loads about the park at the same time. Highly recommended!

I loved the idea of exercising and learning about Central Park! Our tour guide ‘Meredith’ was amazing, she was super friendly, considerate, and helpful.

I signed up for a run not knowing exactly what it entailed, and I was pleasantly surprised. Running in Central Park is such a joy, but this run tour took it to the next level. There was so much to appreciate and learn, and I got to do while getting fit. Regardless of what level you are at as a runner I would highly recommend that you ENJOY THIS experience in the city.
