We booked this tour as we wanted to see Central Park in a different way than just walking round and getting lost. Our tour guides were fantastic and we had lots of fun and managed to see all the highlights of Central Park. The tour started at 8am so the Park was nice and quiet and it was lovely to see all the local people out walking their dogs. I would highly recommend this tour the guides are very knowledgeable and Mike followed us round on his bike and we had some amazing photos and Videos at the end! Thank you Fit Tours NYC!

I love running but previously I ran in Central Park, got lost and cried. My hubby found this company and booked it for our second visit to NYC, in order to put the experience right for me. It was awesome. Cindy and Meredith showed us a fantastic tour, it was so friendly and just a nice pace to see the park. I would recommend this to anybody who likes sightseeing and running.

Highly recommend! One of my most fun Saturday mornings - and I used to live in NYC for 9 years. A great way to see and learn more about the fascinating & beautiful Central Park and to fit in some exercise at the same time. Thanks to Mike and his team of wonderful guides!
