Private NYC Central Park 4 Hour Adventure Tour

Overview

Escape the chaos of New York City…right in the middle of Manhattan! Tour Central Park with a local guide who will introduce you to the stories, historic sites, and natural beauty found throughout this urban green space.

Your tour guide will fill you in on the park’s past as a thriving village of African Americans and immigrants and their eventual displacement during the formation of the landscape we see today. While evidence of this village is long gone, we’ll view other historic structures including beautiful Bethesda Terrace and the Women's Rights Pioneers Monument.

Our Central Park walking tour will pass iconic artworks including some notable literary figures under the stately trees of The Mall and the mosaic-tiled Strawberry Fields circle, a tribute to singer-activist John Lennon.

As we enjoy the variety of flora and fauna around The Lake and its picture-perfect Bow Bridge, you’ll finish up the tour happy knowing your ticket has directly contributed to conservation education!

Central Park

Your Central Park walking tour takes place in the world's largest man-made park, a Manhattan green space containing sculptures, historic structures, and a variety of wildlife. As we enjoy a stroll along the tree-lined paths, we’ll include stories of the park’s original inhabitants and their forced expulsion. You’ll also be impressed by the history of communities coming together to support conservation and science conservation education, helping to preserve and maintain the park’s many habitats.

Bethesda Terrace

On your New York Central Park tour with us, you’ll enjoy gorgeous views of The Lake and surrounding landscape at this gorgeous fountain and arcade dating back to the 1860s.

Alice in Wonderland Statue

During this unique New York City walking tour, we’ll pass by this beloved sculpture, one of the many in the park, commemorating the works of Lewis Carroll

Strawberry Fields, John Lennon Memorial

We’ll pay tribute to music icon John Lennon at this beautifully tiled mosaic, not far from the location where Lennon was shot and fatally wounded. Many come to this circle at the edge of the park to remember his music, often performing hit songs like Imagine.

Bow Bridge

You'll enjoy gorgeous views of and from this footbridge crossing over The Lake. We’ll see plenty of wildlife in and near the water and learn about how various organizations help to preserve the delicate ecosystems found throughout the park.

This promenade is the perfect place to sit and people-watch, living and sculptural: several statues including the likes of Shakespeare and Robert Burns can be found here, standing silently under the towering elm trees.

Jessie gave an incredible tour of Central Park! She is a wealth of knowledge and shares it with the group in a way that is fun and entertaining and informative. This is the second tour I have gone on led by Jessie Fahey and I will certainly go on other ones with her. She comes highly recommended!

Most tours are rather passive. You stand, you listen, you learn something, and then rinse and repeat. Jessie’s tour was different. It was interactive. She encouraged us to ask questions, to look at our environment, and really focus on the experience. And I learned a lot too. I’ve lived in NYC for (mumble mumble) years and she told me facts and stories about Central Park that I never knew before. The stories about the benches (the original ones), and the pricey public proposal (benches again), plus the original uses for familiar park buildings such as the Dairy and the Chess/Checkers building were entirely new to me. And I had no idea the Boathouse Lake was modeled after the Panama Canal (or that the canal looked like that).

What a great way to spend an afternoon! I love Central Park and today, I learned more about my beloved sanctuary than I ever thought possible! Jessie Fahay is a brilliant tour guide - personable, knowledgeable and completely prepared!
