We had Chuck as our guide and had a phenomenal experience seeing the city. We have a family of four, two boys 13 and 11, and both were intrigued by the history of Central Park and other factoids shared by Chuck, a long time NY native. Although the temperature was in the 80s, the ride was through cooler shaded parts of Central Park and the Hudson also offered a lot of cool breezes. The views of NYC were amazing. I highly recommend this tour - it was the highlight of our trip.
