| 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. |

Our tour guide was just wonderful. She knew her stuff, was fun to talk to, very helpful and most enthusiastic about Central Park and all it has to offer...also, she knew her movies..
Great walking tour, indeed...we've been on several others and recommend this one highly. |

| IOur guide was very well informed, enthusiastic, and very considerate of the group members. We were given interesting information about the park itself and, of course, many details about the movies filmed there. It was also a beautiful day! An unpredictable element, I realize.
My daughter (a New Yorker who had been on the tour before) recommended it to me and we both had a great time! |

| I took three teenage girls to see the wonderful city of New York. This was their first time in the city and I wanted to gear the trip to their interests. I found this tour to be the perfect match of some history on the park and entertainment value. I would have liked to have more history thrown in but Kimberly did a very nice job of covering it all in the time she had.......and she was respective to questions....so if you wanted to learn more about the park in other areas -- she seemed knowledgeable. I enjoyed her enthusiastic attitude. I would have appreciated a little more information on the meeting spot.... Waited at the spot and really didn't know if we were waiting in the right area.......other tourist felt the same way. Otherwise this tour is a value and I would not only recommend it to others.....I would go again. Thank you. |

| 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.

| We all loved the tour. Our guide Kimberly was excellent. I never realized all the wonderful movies that were filmed in the park. The pace was great, we had time for lots of photos and our guide made sure our questions were answered. I would highly recommend the tour and in fact will do it again next year when we re-visit New York City. |
