New Yorkers do it best! - No better way to experience this iconic place than alongside bona fide New Yorkers. Our tour guide Patrick has a palpable love and passion for the city, making this tour more enjoyable and informative compared to other walking tours I’ve done in the past. They say Central Park is the “lungs of the city,” and the tour guides at Central Park Touring truly live & breathe everything about the park.

Family trip to NYC - Although I’ve been to Central Park many times over decades, Patrick was a fantastic guide who enlightened us with little known pearls about the park. He’s a local resident who started the business and clearly has great passion for its well being. Appreciated him taking group pics of us and sending them to us. And the water and Gatorade was a nice touch!

Amazing and worthwile tour with a very entertaining and sympathetic guide - It was just great. As we were a small group, we were able to talk to the guide (Patrick) personally and we received interesting information. You could tell that Patrick is passionate about what he does. This tour is highly recommended, our expectations were more than exceeded.

Do Not Miss. Best tour ever - This is one of the most amazing tours we’ve ever been a part of. Not only did Patrick showed us sites that most New Yorker don’t even know, his passion for his city, Central Park and Central Park West (his home) was contagious. We received more than just interesting information about Central Park. We saw many beautiful scenic areas and he even took our pictures for us at all the photogenic sites. The whole tour experience was well thought out, including bathroom breaks and water. It is a must for all visitors and New Yorkers alike.

A must-do tour! - I would highly recommend this tour. We visited some very interesting & hidden locations of the park that I, as a NYer, never knew about! Our tour guide, Patrick, had some really cool trivia & historical facts to keep us fully engaged along the way. Definitely felt his NYC energy and enthusiasm for the story of Central Park. Def check this out - and don’t forget to wear comfy shoes!

Loved it! Going back for another tour this fall with friends. - I have been to Central Park many times and yet this tour introduced me to so many areas of the park that were new and interesting to me. My favorite was Belvedere Castle and Shakespeare Garden. I never knew about these secret gems. I enjoyed the experience with our fun and funny tour guide so much, I’m going back in the fall with friends. Ask for Pat to lead your tour, he was great!

Central Park touring experience 👍👍 - I really enjoyed walking through The Mall area. the history, the statues, the American Elm trees that shape it into a cathedral type atmosphere, was very interesting & also the secluded walk through The Ramble. Felt walking through a trail in the the Adirondack mountains. our tour guide Patrick was so informative & lots of fun. Would highly recommend this tour, it was a great experience
