We hired bikes and a tour from Unlimited Bikes, with a New York City Pass, and had Damien as a tour guide. It was well worth it, he looked after the group really well, showed us all the Park sights and shared lots of stories, knowledge and anecdotes about the area, including news on local celebs. We would definitely recommend Damien as a fine advocate for NYC

My girlfriend and I did the Central Park Bike Tour in early 2017. The tour was fun, informative and we got plenty of time to explore and enjoy the park. Would recommend.

We had Alex as our tour guide and he was great! Had a wealth of knowledge about the park as well as the surrounding city. Shared a lot of interesting facts and made it a lot of fun.
