Amazing tour of Central Park, in comfort and style. Fantastic photographs to treasure - We had read good things about this tour online and it didn’t disappoint. Our guide was Bek, he was so knowledgeable about the park and surrounding landmarks. He was enthusiastic and made the tour fun. We got off at a few points so that Bek could take some amazing photos of us on my phone. The photos are so good, he’s very talented with an iPhone!
