Spent a wonderful day with My NY Tours, Debbie was our Guide. I cant tell you how impressed I was with her knowledge of the Park. Last year we took her tour of Central Park South, with all the familar spots. The Zoo, The Carousel,Wollman Rink and Strawberry Fields. It was 103 out that day. And some people were alittle cranky!! Debbie did everything to make them comfortable while still keeping to our schedule. All with a smile and compassion. Truly a professional! Today we went to the north side of the park.Central Park North Woods. I had no idea what a hidden treasure the north side was. It was like you were out in the middle of the forest! Waterfalls, hidden walking paths, massive rock formations. Rustic bridges over streams and arch ways made of stone. If you are a photographer or artist you will be in heaven! The leaves are starting to turn, which made it even more beautiful! We also saw Belvedere Castle which after you climb to the top has the best view of the park. The name translates to"beautiful view" in Italian! We even got to see a Wedding! From the castle to Cleopatras Needle, Debbie gave us the history and little known facts of every single thing we saw! You never would get all the history and back story if you went on your own. Debbie and her associate Jim truly made it a most enjoyable , informative and really fun day! I would absolutely recommend My NY Tours. True New Yorkers who have the inside scoop on all things interesting to see in New York!

Wow - we had a fantastic tour with Debbie. We met Debbie at the parks entrance and immediately Debbie started to talk about the parks history. Debbie was a wealth of knowledge of the Park and it’s history. Throughout the tour Debbie knew the best locations for photo opportunities and was only too happy to provide advice on how to get the best photo. As you can guess Debbie is also a professional photographer. In addition, Debbie discussed Strawberry Fields and John Lennon’s love of Central Park. Thanks Debbie for a phenomenal tour. Gavin, Chris, Warren and Lea.
