Good guide and customer friendly. - We had a really great experience taking this ride of central park with the Tazakhistan origin guy, he was informatively guiding on the central park establishments and it's link to Manhattan and also gave us sufficient time for taking pictures at two major points. Overall a good ride for 40 mins with reasonable pricing at 6pm summer time
