Central Park Walking Tour with Chris - This was an excellent excursion. We are native New Yorkers and live on Long Island . We were spending a few days inthe city and acting like summer tourists. We have been in the peripheral areas of the park, the ice rink and the zoo many times but never learned the history. Chris was an amazing guide. He truly loves the city and being a tour guide and cental park is his back yard. He told us many fun anecdotes that we did not know and we enjoyed his humorous banter. Even though the temps were high the day we went it was an easy walk. I would reccommend this excursion

Get to know Central Park better than the locals! - A wonderful intimate tour of Central Park covering its history, its many features and the history of many of the surrounding buildings. Despite the tour group presenting a few hurdles to our guide he had it in hand. The guide was very knowledgeable and able to answer all questions asked. He was so good, many locals approached and said that they didn’t know what he was talking about.

An awesome walking tour - What a pleasurable way to see how beautiful Central Park is. The natural and man made creativity of Central Park is shown on this walking tour. I would never have thought to look up at the ceiling tile work of Bethesda Terrace as we approached the fountain. I would highly recommend this tour.

The Central Park Tour is Excellent - Chris did a fabulous job of keeping us walking and sharing history and information of Central Park. Chris is very knowledgeable on many topics. He answered all questions asked. I was able to appreciate and see more of the park on his tour. I would have not seen as much if I had come without his tour.
