Fantastic gift for a birthday! Took my mom for her 70th. We had an amazing time and learned more than a few facts about Central Park. Sara was our guide and we could not have been happier with our experience. Easy, smooth process to book and would definitely recommend.

The tour was very good but much too expensive. Billy was a pro and showed us the wood in the park. ……..
