| This was my first time in New York, so needless to say, I wanted to see as much as possible. My friend and I took the tour, and it was wonderful. Our tour guide was a native New Yorker, and very good at her job. We felt like we got to see alot of Central Park, and also got alot of history as well. It was a nice walk and very fun. I love movies and the Tour Guide didn't miss a beat!! I definately would recommend this to anyone visiting New York City for the first time. |

| thought the tour was informative and well led. had a little trouble finding the beginning of the tour because the subway entrance was not marked very well. better initial gathering place on a corner. |

| Even on a rainy day the tour was well worth battling the rain. The guide was very informative with a few suprises. Highly recomend the tour. |

| I was very displeased with the Central Park walking tour on Saturday, July 5 with Jessica. From the moment we all arrived in the group Jessica mentioned that because of the rain we would be moving at a faster pace and try to get done in less than 2 hours. Well in our party we had someone that was unable to keep up the pace. At the first "stop" we explained to Jessica that my mother had 2 replaced hips and was unable to walk at her pace and she simply told us to "keep up." When we were able to catch up and listen to the tidbits she had to say she spoke so quickly it was very difficult to understand her. She spoke English and I speak English but she did not enunciate and when questions were asked she quickly sped through and kept on going. My father attempted to keep up with the tour while I stayed behind with my mother and he even had a hard time keeping her pace and he is in shape and walks everyday. I feel that the tour guides' lack of compassion, rudeness and clear attitude with having to do her job was unacceptable. We paid good money for a TWO hour tour and ended up leaving the tour early and walking around Central Park on our own with no explanation of movies and TV Shows.
I would NOT recommend this tour to anyone, instead walk around and then get a 40 minute ride on the Horse and Buggy as the driver tells you information along the way and keeps you entertained. |

| Our guide was great, very enthusiastic. But we would have liked it better had there not been so many home alone 2 references, and if there had been some more newer movies included in the tour. |

| My husband and I truly enjoyed our trip through Central Park! We were able to see many cool movie sites from the silverscreen that have brought many smiles to our faces! Some of our favorites were scenes from the movies "Elf", "When Harry Met Sally..." , "Serendipity", and "Home Alone 2". There was about 2.5 miles of walking, which wasn't bad except for the temperature hitting 95 degrees! The tourguide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She was courteous and answered any questions we had. We enjoyed it very much and viewed it as a very safe and fun way to see New York's famous Central Park!

| 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! |

| 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! |
