We had a great tour through Central Park, learned a lot about the history of the park as well as greater NYC. Mark, our tour guide, was incredible. He had a tremendous knowledge, was easy going and fun to listen to. A great experience thanks to him.
Amazing way to start our first NYC visit

Our guide, Jonathan, made our tour enjoyable. He is experienced and knowledgeable, and most of all, has the passion to share the history of Central Park. It was our first visit to NYC. We had been flying for about 10 hours, arrived in the morning, and met Jonathan at 2pm in Central Park. He contacted us throughout the day to confirm our tour and he was punctual. It was a heavy drizzle, but even with the weather and us being sleep deprived, the tour with him was worth every minute! He is personable and answered all our questions. He even offered some tips on other places we had planned to visit while in the city. He asked how we were doing throughout the tour, making sure our expectations and needs were being met! Our first trip to NYC certainly started out on a very positive note!
Excellent Central Park tour

A walk in the park
Nuzli_O, Jul 2019
Our guide’s name was Jeff. He was friendly and informative. He was approachable and knowledgable of Central Park. The tour exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend it if you are interested in the history and development of Central Park. Although it was very hot, most of the walk through the park was in the shade which was very pleasant.
