What a great way to start the day, an expertly guided 5k run through central park. Elena the tour guide was extremely knowledgable and had some great facts (Which I have stolen and will pass off as my own! Sorry) The tour takes you round some great parts of the park, including bathesda fountain and strawberry fields to name a few I cant recommend the tour enough and should 100% check it out

What an amazing and refreshing tour! Communication to the “FitTours Team” was great. Greetings and introductions in the morning was warm and welcoming. Mike had us running with Anne, and Elena joined later. Fascinating that Anne could explain all the history of Central Part while running  The run itself was not too challenging. Stops in-between to enjoy the sites and listen to Anne’s and Elena’s explanations. Also less experienced runners can easily keep up with the crowd. For me this run was the highlight of my trip to NYC. Thank you so much, Anne, Elena and Mike
