| This tour is enjoyable for those of us New Yorkers who enjoy learning more about the city and spending time in the park. We were able to see and learn about Central Park and all of the interesting facts about the movies. It was pretty interactive with participants joining in with their own movie facts. |

| Our tour host was knowledgeable and fun! It was raining the day we went - so not as much fun as a sunny day (but not his fault for sure).
I'd highly recommend the tour - very fun!

| This tour is not amazing but it's fun and brings you a nice overview of the big park's hot spots. Please wear flat and comfy shoes, a lot of walking and a lot of stairs, The park's restroom are disgusting so use it in advance of the tour. Nice guide! |

| I really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to others.
It is a fun way to spend a couple of hours and a really good way to see central park in detail. A must for movie buffs! |

| Well, we did cover quite a bit of Central Park, and saw many movie locations, including the familiar Bethesda fountain (One Fine Day, Green Card, Ransom) and the Mall (Kramer vs Kramer). Also the ice skating rink from Serendipity. So, the tour does show you some of the movie sights which you might not recognize on your own, but, it was a little lightweight.
The first two locations were recognizable from...Home Alone 2? Well, it didn't really give us confidence in what we were going to see, although the movies did eventually get a little less obscure (some I'd never heard of).
There were many opportunities to have photographs taken (by the guide or on your own) - for me this was time wasted when we could have been seeing more, but it depends what you want from this trip. I don't need to pretend to be Macaulay Culkin with pigeons on my arms...but some seemed to like the opportunity.
There was also a fifteen minute break at the carousel - which hasn't really featured in many (any?) movies due to it's being covered by a brick building. Yes, this gave time for a carousel ride, food stop or restroom break, but again, I felt I'd paid for a 1.5 hour tour and probably really only got a 45 minute tour, and 45 minutes of pauses.
This is great if you don't want to over-exert yourself, but made for a not-completely satisfying tour. It was cool to see some of the more familiar locations, but a little more indepth knowledge of the more famous NY movies shot there would have been better. Or maybe there aren't any...I'll never know now...
7 out of 10. Good weather helps. Not bad, but could have been better. |

| We enjoyed our tour very much. We had problems finding the group to begin the tour. A better signal for the gathering would be better. When we have travelled in Europe the guide always held a flag and helped us find the person at any time. I would recommend this approach.
The knowlwedge and ifnormation shared was positive. The attitude of the leader was postive and the tour was fun and informative.

| Tour was very informative and beautiful. The walk through Central Park gave us a new perspective on experiencing the attractions of New York. It gives you chance to re-visit beautiful scenes that you have seen in movies and TV and learn some facts about the park and it's surroundings. I'm going to recommend the tour to my family and friends.
Thank you. |

| Anyone who wants to see a bit more of Central Park itself but with the added interest of seeing familiar sites from movies or TV shows should go on this tour - it is in no way strenuous and suitable for everyone - fantastic photo opportunities all the way.
Would highly recommend it to all. |
