We had an exceptional tour guide in the way of Dan who entertained us with his stories and facts. Dan guided us round the park stopping off at key points for photo opportunities as we went. His knowledge and guidance was exceptional and was one of the highlights of our tour. I would highly recommend this for something to do if you are visiting NYC as great value for money tour a little bit out of the ordinary!!!

We arrived at the Central Park Sightseeing store approximately 15 minutes before the 11am tour on Friday 25th January 2019. We used our New York Pass at the desk and after filling out paperwork and taking out insurance (recommended) we were kitted out with a helmet, bicycle and basket. Before leaving the store to head to the meeting point at the corner of the street, adjustments were made to the bicycles to suit our requirements (seat height etc.). Our guide for the tour was Debra. After introducing herself and explaining what we would be doing, we headed over to Central Park on the road and stopped inside one of the entrances to the park. Debra addressed the group and informed us which direction we would be heading in and what highlights we would see along the way. We cycled at a steady pace and stopped at some of the main points of interest to allow for photo opportunities. Debra was informative and had a great sense of humour which created a relaxed atmosphere. The tour duration was approximately two hours and covered a significant area of the park. Thankfully it was a sunny day (albeit a bit cold!) which made it more enjoyable. The group was a decent size and consisted of 6 people. Overall we would recommend the tour as it is a great way of exploring Central Park. Thanks again!

I took a fabulous 2 hour bike tour with Dan from Unlimited Biking last week. Great way to see the park and Dan was so knowledgeable and engaging about all the places we visited. He used humour along the way which kept us all pretty warm laughing alot on a chilly winter morning. Thanks so much Dan.
