Enjoyed the cycling tour around Central Park. Dan, our guide was very enthusiastic and kept everyone engaged. Recommend this over other Central Park tours.

We loved this tour! Fun, entertaining guide (Dan), really well managed set up for both check in and check out, and lovely to learn more about Central Park than just riding around aimlessly. Dan did a great job managing our group with different biking abilities, the tour is well paced with lots of stops and only a couple of pretty small inclines, which are easy to get up with the gears on these bikes. For anyone worried about cycling in Manhattan to get from their location to the park, you walk the bikes there for the three blocks. We did cycle back to base in the cycle lanes (another short ride) and Dan did a great job of keeping everyone together and even finding time to take photos of us while we waited for the lights. All in all, a great experience and well worth it!
