Highly recommend - This was a GREAT tour. Only 3 people in our group. The guide was very kind and knowledgeable. We were not rushed and got to see so much of the park, along with recommendations on what more we could see on our own.

Best Money You Will Spend In NYC - What a fun and fact-filled two-hour stroll we had through the park. Chris was extremely personable and knowledgeable and the top rating is well deserved. I had been to the park several times before but never had the appreciation that I now have for the huge impact/importance that the Park has for New Yorkers and the vision that went into its creation. Do not hesitate - book now! The most worthwhile thing that we have booked on this trip...

Could have been better - Our guide was friendly but wasn’t as knowledgeable as I hoped. The trip was a lot of walking in silence when I would have liked to hear more facts. Also, some of the information shared didn’t seem important. For example, I did not need to know the details about the horse that died last month. On the other hand, I did really enjoy learning the facts about some of the buildings around the park. Just overall a bit disappointed.
