Oasis in the city - Chris was a good and thoughtful guide answering questions about architecture, fauna, and pop culture in the park. Would highly recommend the tour to see something green in the middle of the big apple

Great walking tour of Central Park - We’ve visited Central Park many times and are reasonably familiar with many parts of the park from walking, bike rides and carriage rides, but my wife and I learned many fascinating facts about the park specially and New York City generally from our guide, Chris. This tour was one of the highlights of this trip.

Walking tour of Central park was great - Chris was our guide and he did an amazing job showing Central Park to our family. A walking tour is the way to go because he was able to show us areas we would not have been able to access on bike or pedi-cab. Everything he did was 'just the right amount' for our group. Just the right amount of history, the right amount of current events, the right walking pace, etc. His love and pride for NYC were evident and made our tour so enjoyable.

Don’t Miss This! - Our tour guide, Chris, was excellent! I had no idea there were so many different things to see in Central Park. As a bonus we got to see two marriage proposals and another wedding party. Chris has impeccable timing. Ha, ha! Even though we had a drizzly rain almost the whole time, Chris had an infectious enthusiasm for the park and New York City that made it all worth it. Highly recommend!

Central Park Tour! :) - I recently went on a walking tour of Central Park, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and really brought the park’s history to life. The tour covered a variety of landmarks, including Bethesda Terrace, Bow Bridge, and the iconic Alice in Wonderland statue. The pace was comfortable, with plenty of opportunities to stop, take photos, and ask questions. Thank you Chris for a lovely tour!
