| My college age daughter and I highly recommend the Walking Tour in Central Park. We had a fabulous tour guide who was personable and highly knowledgeable about the movie and TV filming locations throughout the park. She graciously and patiently took photos of any and all of the group members. We walked 2.5 miles, a great way to exercise and burn off the calories of the great NYC food while visiting this beautiful park. A great experience. Highly recommend it. |

| It was an informative tour of the park. It would be even better if the geography of the tour could be enlarged to cover the northern part of the park as well. |

| We were blessed with a beautiful day. Our guide was very informative and set a reasonable pace for all to follow. We learned much about the park's history and visited most of the "must see" sights while visiting the movie sights as well. The tour was planned to have 33 guests. My first impression was that was a bit too many. There were to be ten in our personal group but because of some poorly worded directions, two of our party could not find the meeting place. I'm not sure of actually how many we ended up with but it wasn't as unmanageable as I thought it would be. The meeting place is on the North side of 59th St. My only suggestion for the tour operators would be to clarify the meeting place and procedures....For out-of-towners, 59th St. and Central Park South are one in the same. We did not know this at the time. This confused at least two of our group enough to miss the tour and I actually had to get help from a cop. When we finally did find the meeting place, I expected someone to be holding "up" a blue flag or something but after five or so minutes of looking around and wondering if we were in the right place, we found our guide standing silently right in front of us holding a small blue cloth at chest level. I don't know how long she had been standing there! Keep in mind, there were hordes of people walking back and forth along the street and it was not easy to home-in on our guide. All in all, we had a great tour of the park and no one in our group had any real complaints. |

| 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. |

| I recommend this tour for anyone who would like to gain more knowledge about Central Park's rich history, along with gaining information about the movies that were filmed in Central Park. It's a great way for tourists to get acclimated with the park as well. I would do this tour again. |

| It was great to see all the locations of the films in the park. However, the tour was not just about that. You got to learn a bit about the history of the park and insider New York information that you never would have found out yourself.
Even if you haven't seen all the films you are told about, it's great to stand where the movie stars have stood and to imagine shooting the films.
Our guide was friendly, informative and approachable. Loads of the guests asked questions and were all given good answers. She even invited us to ask questions about New York that weren't just related to the tour.
Once you have done all the 'big' sights of New York, this is something a little different, I would definitely recommend it! |

| I liked the information provided about Central Park as much as the details about the movie sites. It was a gorgeous day for a very pleasant hike in a fascinating location. |
