Great intro to Central Park - Michael was great. I appreciated the small group size and his knowledge. We saw a lot and walked a lot but he knew where and when to provide breaks on benches while he enlighted us of our surroundings and he was great at pointing out the rest rooms available along the way. He also took time to take pictures for us with the scenery in the background. Highly recommend this intro to Central Park!

Read my review before booking! - This tour focuses on the history & origination of the park, and the ideas behind the design. Landscaping & plant species are a large part of it too. This is not a “point out where movies were filmed” kind of tour.
Michael is a good host overall.
