This tour was my absolute favorite thing I did during my trip to New York. Our tour guide, Bruce, was very funny, polite, incredibly patient, and had lots of wonderful information about the park and its history. I had no idea where to even begin exploring the park alone with my daughter but Bruce covered a very substantial chunk of the park and took us to spots the weren't high traffic and I know I never could have discovered on my own. Not to mention that everything we saw was incredibly breathtaking. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone thinking about going to NYC.

Thank you for your review and your recommendation. I'm so pleased that it was your favorite thing in New York. People are generally surprised by what they see in that part of Central Park and I'm glad that you were as well. I hope to see you and your daughter again on another tour. Thanks again, Bruce
