Central Park and Harlem: Sensational Park & Soul Bike Tour

Central Park and Harlem: Sensational Park & Soul Bike Tour

Overview

This tour begins near the Plaza Hotel--temporary and semi-permanent lodging for New York’s wealthiest visitors and residents (including the famous children’s book character, Eloise!).

A short ride away is magnificent Central Park, which never fails to amaze with its natural beauty (all man-made!). As we travel through the park, we’ll visit Strawberry Fields for a Beatles sing-along and explore various other sites rarely seen by tourists, including the only “beach” in Manhattan, a 3500-year-old obelisk, an $18-million lawn, and much more.

On to Harlem, one of the most important places for black history in America. Other highlights include a poetry reading outside what was once the home of Langston Hughes, and a visit to a former synagogue that is now a major Black church.

This tour takes about 5 hours, with stops near all of the essential attractions. Attachments are not permitted on this tour.

We had a lovely bike tour with Manny who took us around Central Park to Harlem. We liked his humour and loved everything he showed us. Unfortunately we didn’t go to a Harlem church to see Gospel due to Covid restrictions. We will return!

Manny was a great tour guide. Very informative and funny. It's a petty that not more tourists book this safe tour even during Covid. We have been the first group of 3 for this tour in months.
