Great tour. The trip from office to and from the Park was a bit concerning for some of our inexperienced riders. tour guides Samantha and Hannah were excellent.

Our tour guide, Isaac, was GREAT! He was so informative and funny. The shop was very organized for quick check-in and check-out. The bikes were not quite up to par. My chain came loose and got tangled. Isaac was not able to fix it (he did not have a tool kit) and had to call the shop to bring another bike. We told the tour to continue on while we waited for almost 30 minutes (although part of the delay was because my phone service in the park was sketchy and the shop had a hard time contacting us for our location). They brought another bike and we eventually caught up with the group, but we missed quite a bit of the information that Isaac had about the sites. I didn't want to create a fuss about a refund, but I thought the shop should have at least offered one.

Firstly, thanks to Dan our guide for making it so enjoyable. A fun and engaging tour and he had information on everything from Central Park to the best places to eat in Little Italy, Queens or even at the airport. We had bought a 3 day NY pass for about $200. This tour alone was valued at about $50 so definitely recommend the pass too if you plan to be busy. This company also does just bike rental and other tours, all included on the pass. The tour was 2 hours. Good quality bikes and helmets provided. Started with a short walk to the park gates and then we were off for a 2 hour ride visiting all of those famous and iconoc places you have seen in so many movies. Lots off lesser known information too as well as which stars and celebrities lives where and how much some of the crazy local apartments cost. It's a total change of pace from the rest of New York and much better than just walking around. We were lucky that our group was on 11. Can get up to 15-19 and although the park is always busy with joggers and tourists, we were not in the height if the season so had no problem getting around.
