| I, the movie buff, forced my husband to join me on this tour. I argued it would be great way to also see and learn about Central Park. We both had a great time and appreciated the knowledge of our tour guide. I would recommend the tour again. |

| Took the Central Park tour with Jessica on Sat November 22. It was a very cold, windy day, but she could not have been more pleasant.
The tour covered about 2 1/2 miles in the lower half of the Park and we walked at a pretty fast pace - which was good because of the cold weather. We had about 12 people on our tour and no one had any trouble keeping up.
Jessica was very knowledgable about movies and TV shows and would tell us about the specific scene that was filmed at each location. She really seemed to enjoy doing the tour and we all had a great time.
I would really recommend this tour for anyone who has not been able to find their way around Central Park and for those who are movie/TV buffs. I would not recommend it for anyone who has trouble walking because you cover alot of ground in a 2 hour tour - if you are not a fast walker - take a bus tour. |

Good tour, but the setting is great!

| This was a very good tour and the tour guide was very sweet. I have to say that the setting is what makes this tour so good though - it's such a beautiful area of Central Park, it would be hard not to really enjoy this tour! It did seem like so many more movies would have been mentioned though? And I will say that the directions for the meeting point need to be revised, they are not really clear. The tour guide does not carry a blue flag, she carries a bright aqua umbrella. For those of us tourist, there could have been a better meeting point. We thought we missed the tour, but then ended up finding them at the first stopping point.... and when we called the office on the phone, they weren't very helpful with directions unfortunately. I'd say meet at the statue in the plaza area or something simple like that! But good tour, would definitely recommend it! |

| Our tour guide was Kymberly. She did a fantastic job. The tour itself was exactly what we were looking for. Central Park was beautiful. It was a great start to our 4 day trip to NY. |

| On a recent business trip to NYC, I needed something to do by myself while my husband was in an all-day meeting. This tour was a perfect choice as I had not yet been to Central Park and had always wanted to from seeing it in the movies. Our tour guide Jessica was very informative, and the park was beautiful in its autumnal glory. It was great exercise, too! I highly recommend this tour. (P.S. I had no trouble finding the starting location.) |

| Jessica was our tour guide and she was such a jewel. She was so knowledgeable about Central Park and the particular movie scenes that were filmed in the park. It was a fun group and a beautiful day for the tour. I enjoyed the tour so much. It was recommended to me from a friend that had gone on this tour in the early spring. She loved it as well. I would recommend sneakers for the tour. AND would highly recommend anyone taking the tour. It was lots of fun. |

| I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE. OUR GUIDE JESSICA DID A FANTASTIC JOB OF INFORMING US OF SO MANY THINGS ABOUT THE PARK AND ABOUT MOVIES THAT WERE FILMED THERE. SHE WAS VERY ENTHUSIASTIC, PATIENT, NICE AND INFORMATIVE. WE HAD A GREAT TIME AND WILL TELL ALL OUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS WE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FINDING THE STARTING PLACE AND MEETING THE GROUP. THE DIRECTIONS WERE NOT VERY GOOD AND WHEN WE CALLED - TWICE - THE NUMBER ON THE TICKET, THE PERSON WITH WHOM WE WERE TALKING REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO DIRECT US. WE JUST GOT LUCKY IN FINDING THE GROUP AND THE FLAG THAT JESSICA WAS HOLDING WAS NOT BLUE AND IT WAS NOT A FLAG - IT WAS A SMALL GREEN SQUARE OF FABRIC. WE GOT REALLY STRESSED THINKING WE HAD PAID OUR $20 AND NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THE GROUP. THERE IS NO STREET SIGN FOR 59TH ST.!!!!!!!!!! AGAIN WE JUST GOT LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND THE GROUP AND TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THE TOUR. PRINT BETTER DIRECTIONS ON THE TICKETS!!!!! |

| 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!! |

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. |
