Vitaly did a wonderful job and even had a blanket for us since it was a bit chilly. He knew all of the places to see on the 2 hour tour and made stops so we could get a better look and took several great pictures for us. He also knew all of the history of the park and all of the history of the homes and buildings surrounding the park. He is funny and we enjoyed his tour very much!!! The tour ended with riding through Central Park while he played New York, New York. It was great and we would highly recommend this tour!
I selected this tour because my mother has mobility concerns after knee surgery, but since Central Park was on her bucket list, Central Park was important. I do not like the horse drawn carriages and was pleased because the 2 hour tour took us to a significant majority of the park. I've never been so far north in the park before.
Our guide was Vitali. He was a superb guide who was a mix of tour guide, park historian with copies of several old photographs of the area and comedian. We were enlightened and entertained. His manner was easy and fun. His information was accurate. We stopped at places like the Bethesda Fountain and Strawberry Fields/Imagine. We simply requested to stop at certain places I knew my mother would be particularly interested in and he did. It was a phenomenal tour, with a professional guide, with gorgeous weather. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Z
