| We really enjoyed the tour and thought it was great fun!! Honestly, anyone should go for not only the movie references, but the history of the park and an outstanding tour! Don't go on a carriage ride, walk it and learn all about it!! |

| This is the only tour we did not enjoy. We felt like we were running a marathon. I am sure our guide must have had a hot date waiting. Didn't have time to take pictures because she was in very much of a hurry (she told us she had some place to be in 2 hours and she wasn't a minute over the 2 hours) and most of us had a hard time keeping up with her. By the time the whole group was together, she was off again and the ones that didn't keep up with her missed out on her talking because she would not wait for everyone. I would not recommend this tour to anyone who hasn't had cross country marathon training. This tour should be advertised as not recommended for anyone over 40. Then, in all fairness, maybe we just didn't have a very good tour guide. |

Great guide; great coverage of a large area

| My husband and I enjoyed the tour, but I in particular wished that more of the sites where older movies have been filmed had been pointed out. In particular, I was looking forward to seeing the parts of Central Park that were used in Woody Allen movies. I asked but was told that the particular portion of the park we were visiting didn't really have many of the sites Woody Allen used. There were a lot of recent movies mentioned, in particular Ella Enchanted, and since it seemed as if there were a lot of baby boomers in the group, covering more of the old movies would have been a good idea.
Thank you though - we had a great time. |

| Our family of four went on the tour Sat, Aug 16, 2008 and thought it was wonderful. Central Park is huge and having a guided tour through half the Park enabled us to take in its magnificence and charm without being frustratingly shackled to a map to get our bearings. We just put our brains in neutral and enjoyed our surroundings! Ironically, having the movie sites pointed out was a secondary bonus and made each location come alive for us. Jessica was our guide and she enhanced the tour further by sharing history tidbits along with the movie site information. Also included on the tour is the Dakota Building and Strawberry Fields which is the tribute to John Lennon. Central Park is far lovelier and more enchanting than we ever imagined. I strongly recommend this tour and I give it six stars if movie buffs are in your party! |

| Our guide (I forgot her name) was very nice and easy to talk too as well as knowledgeable and genuinely seemed to like doing these tours. The only issue was the time of day. If this tour happened in the morning (maybe 9 a.m.) it might be better especially in the summer, but that isn't our tour guides fault. IT was just warm and from 3-5 p.m. that is usually when the high temperatures for the day hit. But we had plenty of opportunities to get in the shade and also buy water (if you didn't bring any with you or ran out). She was able to point out a lot of places in Central Park that were part of the tour (movies sites) as well as some general history which is also interesting when you are on these types of tours. Just be sure you do know that it is a full 2 hour walking tour when you sign up. It is a good tour though and I would possibly do it again if the tour had more to offer for those that had taken it before (or just a history tour of Central Park even). |

| The tour itself was fine but all I can say is.....the tour guide (Kimberly)... I asked her a simple question before the tour began and she nearly jumped down my throat. I felt as if I had been slapped in the face! Those who overheard her remark couldn't believe their ears! I didn't give the tour guide a tip; I don't know if anyone did! |

good...but be careful

| very good tour, well worth the price. it's a great way to see the park. just keep an eye on the tour guide. a person on the tour got lost as the guide didn't make sure everyone was there after a stop. they say they have a flag, but it's just a piece of cloth they hold up, it's hard to see even if you're looking. that's the only fault we had with the tour! |

Enjoyable but not particularly memorable
