What To Expect

Central Park

Meet your guide just a couple of blocks south of Central Park on West 56th Street for your morning or afternoon bike tour. Select a hybrid bike, appropriate for your skill and experience level, as well as a helmet and map of the park.

Belvedere Castle

Then, peddle along at a leisurely pace on both paved roads and unpaved trails as your guide talks about the park's history and its many famous attractions. Your guide broadcasts his narration to group through a speaker, so you won't miss any details.

This was a stress free experience to register, get the bikes and get to the park. Once there the wonderful guide, Stan, was fun and very interesting, he shared so many fun facts about the places we stopped to see along the way through the park. My only suggestion for improvement is that it is hard to hear the guide speak while riding, he did have a speaker but said it is not permitted for the riders to have headphones while riding in the park - perhaps they could offer something for just 1 ear so you don't miss anything interesting the guide is saying and can still hear the traffic around you. But trust me, this did not change the fact that this was a wonderful few hours to spend in Central Park. I highly recommend this tour.

So bad. Started to rain so no photo stops- had no idea who was in group. Kept talking about his wife. Left at almost 2 for 1.30 start. Back before 3.30 for so called 2 hour ride. He also asked for tips! Got few...
