Wonderful Tour - The 60-minute tour was exactly what we were looking for. Our guide was not only adept in maneuvering the pedicab but very knowledgeable about the various features and history of Central Park.

Pedicab Ride in Central Park July 2024 - It was very easy to book our ride through Experience NYC. We were told where to meet our driver and were picked up at the designated time and place! We loved our pedicab tour of Central Park. It was a very hot July day when we were there, but riding in the pedicab was quite comfortable! My husband is 6'5" and he had plenty of room! Our driver, Saeed, was friendly and knowledgeable, giving us so many interesting facts and history on the tour. He stopped at several places where we could get out and take pictures. He took pictures of us as well, which was a nice touch! We had a very relaxing, interesting tour in the middle of the busy city! We were so glad we booked this!

Moni Provided an Amazing Pedicab Private Tour of Central Park - Moni was a trouper and an amazing guide. We went on a very rainy Spring Day and he rode in the open providing narrative all along the way. He was so positive and upbeat during the whole ride. We got to see the highlights of Central Park and stopped at the 4 stops promised. Would very highly recommend both the tour and Moni as the guide.

Memorable and Fun!! - Very memorable experience from our NY trip. The Beatles songs while going around Central Park made it more impactful! Jon, our guide was very comedic, resourceful and energetic. He went out of his way to assist my mom with mobility issues. We appreciate it!
